Abstract
This book deals with practice-based education (PBE) in higher education institutions and presents PBE as a notion and an approach to education that is grounded in the preparation of graduates for occupational practice. Educators face the challenge of turning the concept of PBE into curricula and pedagogy, as discussed further in Chapter 6 and other chapters.
