Summary/Abstract: The scientific status of andragogy/adult education theory, as an auto-nomous scientific discipline, remains in an ascending phase. In the article I refer to one of the areas of the discipline’s constitution, that is, to the methods of conducting scientific research, indicating paradigms and concepts serving the process of building a scientific theory. Based on the analysis of the content of the articles, contained in four leading titles of scientific periodicals, I show contemporary ways of defining andragogy, give answers to questions about the area of research, the strategies of ex-ploration undertaken, their paradigmatic foundation, the selected methods and tech-niques used, and the potential recognition of the environment for representatives of a particular methodological school.
