Abstract
There are three important traditions in adult education program planning theory: the conventional, the deliberative, and the critical. Each purports to be able to explain and enable the practical thinking and acting of adult educators. While each tradition has contributed significant theoretical and practical insights, none has been able to provide a complete account of what Anthony Giddens has termed the problem of the acting subject in context.
