OBJECTIVES
The
new
edition of the Directory (May 2011) presents about 130 doctoral dissertations
from 16 European countries (see
Index
of countries). While maintaining previous
entries, the new edition greatly extends the number of recently completed
and newly expected dissertations (see Index
of years).
The dissertations selected for this Directory cover the interrelated field
of learning and work, particularly including the areas of human resource
development (HRD) and vocational education and training (VET). The complete
details of the individual dissertations are presented in the Directory
(arranged by author).
The major objectives are to identify new research topics and to present
the researchers involved. The subjects of dissertations may be indicators
of evolving research strands (see Thematic overview).
The authors of dissertations, whether junior or senior researchers, may
include (future) promoters of the research community (see Index
of authors). And the tutors, who supervise
the dissertations (see Index of tutors), often
play a key role in developing schools of research within the professional
community.
ACCESS
PATTERN
The
following terms of reference were defined in the above calls: Information
on expected or newly completed Doctoral dissertations in the area of learning
and work (HRD, VET and work related adult education) in European countries
- according to the pattern below:

2 - Theme of dissertation (original language AND English)
3 - Year of (expected) completion or publication
4 - Tutor (name and email address)
5 - Institution (name and home page)
BACKGROUND
This
Directory has been developed in collaboration between the Research Forum
WIFO and two major networks: the European Research Network in Vocational
Education and Training [VETNET]
and the University Forum for Human Resource Development [UFHRD].
The
first edition of the directory appeared in July 2007, followed by annual
updates and additions, bringing the collection up to 58 dissertations in
2010. The second edition was released in March 2011 (reaching a totaö
of 100 dissertations), followed by an update and extension of data (about
30 additional dissertations) in May 2011.
The
data collection has been based on calls for information circulated via
WIFO mailing lists of European professionals (around 1000 recipients).
The next edition of the Directory is envisaged for Spring 2012.
