    Abstract

    This article provides an overview of relevant literature related to the broader research area of communities of practice, and indicates relationships between this literature and the disciplinary context of art and design teaching in Higher Education. Initially the rationale for selection of literature is provided, then the specific disciplinary context of the research area is indicated, through the lens of signature pedagogies, in order to situate the research in context and explore the use of these pedagogies in relation to learning and teaching art and design. Communities of practice, and developments within this concept, are explored, providing an understanding of how learning and teaching may occur in practically focused subject areas. Finally insights from both bodies of literature are synthesised to indicate implications for art and design in higher education, and opportunities for further research.
