摘　　要：近年来,成人教育研究面临着一些危机和困境,其根源在于研究中工具理性与价值理性的失衡。近代以来,由于中国社会国情因素,工具理性导向逐渐凸显,价值理性衰退。在终身学习背景下,工具理性导向下的成人教育研究已经不能满足其自身发展需要,成人教育功利性价值的追求确实是促进了成人教育进步。若成人教育研究只专注于此,则严重忽视了成人个体所具有的独特存在价值,使成人教育基础理论研究在丰富变化的成人教育实践面前,丧失解释能力和指导能力。显然,需要呼吁价值理性的回归,真正将成人教育视为成人本体自我独立价值的彰显,同时做出超经验性的理论提升。In recent years,adult education research has encountered some crises and dilemmas,which are caused by the imbalance between instrumental rationality and value rationality.Instrumental rationality orientation has gradually become prominent,and value rationality has declined due to Chinese social conditions and historical factors.In the context of lifelong learning,adult education research under the guidance of instrumental rationality cannot meet its own development needs.The pursuit of utilitarian value of adult education has indeed promoted the progress of adult education.If adult education research only focuses on this,it seriously ignores the unique existence value of adult individuals,which makes the basic theoretical research of adult education lose the ability to explain and guide in the face of rich and changing adult education practice.Obviously,it is necessary to call for the return of value rationality,truly regard adult education as the demonstration of adult self-independent value,and at the same time make a theoretical promotion beyond experience.
