Summary/Abstract: Research territory (filed/area) of andragogy was not the issue of extended considerations. For a long period there was no interest for research work in the field of adult education and learning. Times have changed and with this (in a positive way) the attitude towards research. Every science seeks to designate their respective fields. There is no reason for andragogy to act otherwise. The research area of andragogy is very complex and multidimensional. The complexity stems from the complexity of the research subject - adult education and learning. The whole research area system has been descirbed. This system is neither complete nor finished. There is compliance among theorists and researchers that these areas sholud be expanded. Andragogists have to prepare themselves for these challenges, theoretically and methodologically. Adult education and learning is not only moving toward higher professionalisation but also toward more research acitivities. Andragogy is missing a critical synthesis and a generalisation of many different partial results.
