Die berufliche Fachrichtung Ernährung und Hauswirtschaft befindet sich erfreulicherweise im Auf- und Ausbau. Damit verbindet sich ein verstärkter Bedarf an nachwachsenden Hochschullehrenden, speziell für die Fachdidaktik. Die Nachwuchsförderung wird als hochschul- und bildungspolitische Herausforderung skizziert. Das Für und Wider einer Karriereplanung zur Hochschullehrerin werden aus der Perspektive junger Absolventinnen des Master of Education/ Ersten Staatsexamens vorgestellt. (DIPF/Orig.)

The need for a change in the status and quality of teaching at German universities has been on the public agenda for several years now and actions have been taken to improve the situation by a number of stakeholders. This thesis examines the role which foundations have played in this process and links its empirical analysis to the existing theoretical framework about the roles which foundations can play in society (Anheier & Daly, 2007). The qualitative analysis is based on an examination of written material as well as twelve interviews conducted with foundation and university representatives as well as policy makers. Its main results are firstly a typology consisting of the three main categories of "Competitions", "Networking" and "Think Tank" describing current foundation programs aimed at university teaching. Secondly, case studies analyzing the programs Wettbewerb Exzellente Lehre and Lehren indicate that they both originated from a failure of the state to set up programs regarded necessary for the improvement of university teaching. Thirdly, while foundation programs certainly contributed to putting the issue on the political agenda, a causal connection between the Wettbewerb Exzellente Lehre in particular and the subsequent Federal-Länder program Qualitätspakt Lehre cannot be clearly established. Lastly, the analysis suggests the addition of a category of "networkers" to the conventional canon of roles which foundations play in society. The thesis concludes by providing policy recommendations aimed at foundation program managers and points out some risks such as a lack of sustainability and evaluation threatening the effectiveness of foundation programs.

The approach to the support of gifted and talented children and youth has changed considerably in the past twenty years. While, until the 2000s, provision programmes predominantly focused on extracurricular activities for pupils, gifted education now follows a systemic and inclusive approach, including all (educational) institutions - kindergarten, school, college and university - as well as the family, the economy, the working world and the community. Furthermore, there have been considerable efforts to provide for gifted children within the regular classroom by way of differentiation and individualised learning. This new approach to talent support was first outlined in 2011 in the "White Paper Promoting Talent and Excellence", which the Austrian Research and Support Centre for the Gifted and Talented published in cooperation with the interministerial Giftedness Research and Gifted Education Task Force. The present article outlines the reasons that led to this new strategy, explains its main features and attempts an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. (DIPF/Orig.)
