To investigate the development of the professionalism of adult educators, we compare individuals' narratives of their professional work at different times in their biographies.

We reconstruct forms and meanings of learning in this process. The study allows insights into differences in professional learning during the life course and the influence of institutional and social context in the development of professionalism.
