All change? Don’t hold your breath.

Practice-Based Education (PBE), as discussed in this post, has been around for 20 years or more, and sometimes called Practice-Based Learning or even Practice-Based Professional Learning (PBPL). As Ewan McIntosh describes it, PBE "seeks to replicate real-world conditions to familiarize students with the complexity of large systems" and "tries, as authentically as possible, to replicate the working conditions students will face when they graduate by making them responsible, collaborative and (to) genuinely learn in a transdisciplinary fashion." The approach is similar to Problem-Based Learning (PBL), which has a lot to recommend it, but which "is often constrained by the educational institutions and structures that surround it." It has been argued for decades that online learning makes something like PBE possible. But will we see it emerge as part of the new normal? It would be great, but as McIntosh says, "don't hold your breath". Image: Matt Hagen, Designs for Practice-Based Teacher Education.
