Abstract
This chapter examines practice-based education (PBE) in relation to the ideas and practices of education, curriculum, practice and pedagogy. The work presented here was realised through a teaching fellowship funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (Higgs, 2011a). The fellowship program identified and addressed a need for enhanced understanding and practice of PBE pedagogy to (a) clarify good practice, (b) collate and showcase good practice exemplars, (c) make good practices widespread, and (d) better prepare students for practice in 21st century universities and complex workplaces.
