About
Monika Hattinger’s research sits at the critical intersection of digitalization, work-integrated learning, and industry-university collaboration, with a particular focus on the manufacturing sector. Her most cited work, the 2018 thesis “Co-constructing Expertise,” investigates how emergent automation and robotization demand new forms of competence development. Hattinger’s key contribution is her model of co-constructed expertise, which reframes professional learning as a joint endeavor between academia and industry rather than a one-way transfer of knowledge. By analyzing real-world e-learning implementations in manufacturing contexts, she demonstrates how digital platforms can bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical, high-qualified skill needs. Though her citation count is still growing—with her flagship thesis garnering 4 citations—her work is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, combining educational science, organizational studies, and engineering perspectives. Hattinger’s research is particularly relevant for practitioners and scholars grappling with the “fourth industrial revolution,” offering actionable frameworks for upskilling workforces in an era of rapid technological change. Her ongoing contributions continue to shape how universities and industries co-design resilient learning ecosystems.
