Summary/Abstract: In this paper we want to consider the underlying assumptions on which the research work is based in adult education and learning: our beliefs about cognition within that reality (epistemology). These beliefs inevitably shape human decisions which direct the activities and general engagement in the world that surrounds us, thus in the planning and realisation of scientific research. In this context, to understand at least some of these beliefs is crucial to effective critique and application of research results, with the aim to improve educational practice and theoretical consideration of its eligibility.
