摘要：Adult education research can do much more than generate academic knowledge that is then put into practice. There are approaches to participative research that bring universities and researchers into contact with people active in the field of adult education. In the process, hierarchies between the researchers and "the researched" are abolished. The latter become active researchers; they have a space in which to present themselves and contribute their approach to the topic and questions. This allows valuable insights, experiences and creative perspectives to be obtained about the subject of research; external input from an outsider‘s perspective can be avoided and all participants have the chance to learn together. The article explains the conditions surrounding the establishment of participative research in adult education and its historical development. The emphasis is on approaches associated with the key words emancipation and social criticism. Finally, the author reflects on how to deal with asymmetries of power in certain research settings as well as developments and interests that in neoliberal times can be expressed as the formation of a participation imperative.
