Practice-based education is establishing itself as a new term in higher education in Australia. It is used not only to encompass those elements of professional education that have traditionally taken place in a practice setting (e.g. in the areas of clinical placement in health and practice teaching in education), but also a dimension of any higher education program that engages students with the practice of whatever students study.
