Abstracts

EN

The survey article should serve as an information for educationists about the situation of andragogy (theory and research of adult education) in the Czech Republic. First, a brief explanation is presented based on definitions of andragogy and its main themes. The second part describes centres of andragogy in five Czech universities. Later on, an overview of main publications of Czech andragogy is given with respect of their relevance for educationists. Finally, some weak features of Czech andragogy are mentioned, especially a lack of empirical research of adult education and learning. This is just an area in which some methods of educational research can be usefully applied.
