In what way do the principle self-learning features manifest themselves? Who is an andragogue? How did adult learning and andragogue activities develop throughout history? How does the multifunctional nature of andragogues' activities manifest itself? What are the guidelines for organising adult education? What has to be considered by an andragogue seeking efficient adult learning? How did the switch from the idea of continuing learning to implementation of the concept of life-long learning occur?
