Sažetak
The paper analyses andragogues as change agents in education. Starting from critical theory, andragogues have the potential to work within the curriculum redefinition framework by enabling participants in educational process to identify areas of knowledge deficits and build on prior knowledge. In addition to this change, they can carry out transformative learning in which the central category is critical reflection, i.e. the most important characteristic of adult learning. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of the identity of andragogues and to point out that their role in changing education, especially when in the knowledge society in which lifelong learning is the key to change the individual and society
