Doctoral dissertations on physical education: Croatian case

The purpose of this study was to determine how many doctoral dissertations in Croatia has dealt with the physical education field according to all the three categories (teaching, teacher education, curriculum) and to analyse the area of interest with respect to targeting the topic of doctoral dissertations and the publication of scientific papers. In this study was used a content analysis. The basic data sources were the ON – LINE catalogue of the Library of the Zagreb Faculty of Kinesiology, Centre for online databases and the Croatian scientific. From then until today, six scientists have received their doctorates in the category of teaching, one in the category of curriculum and none in the category of teacher education. We noticed that only one out of seven authors has published the thesis from his doctoral dissertation. We can conclude that in the Republic of Croatia the frequency of doctoral dissertations on physical education is very modest in almost all categories, but most notably on teacher education and curriculum. It points to insufficient market studies in order to target the topic properly and finally to position the scientific achievements at the international level, that’s why the implication of economy, especially marketing was needed.
