Thesis Abstract
This project explores the major theoretical frameworks that have shaped the philosophy of adult education over the decades. It analyzes influential perspectives such as andragogy, self-directed learning theory, transformative learning theory and others that have guided the design of adult education programs and teaching practices. Through a review of literature, the key principles and assumptions of each framework are identified and compared. The impact of these frameworks on contemporary approaches to adult learning is also discussed. The goal of this project is to provide an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of adult education and their continued relevance in today's changing educational landscape.
