ABSTRACT
The concept of job-embedded learning evolves from adult learning theory. Lindeman (1926) contributed to the development of adult learning theory when he wrote: “…the approach to adult education will be via the route of situations not subjects” (p. 8). Lindeman continues: “The situation approach to education means the learning process is at the outset given a setting of reality. Intelligence performs its [sic] function in relation to actualities, not abstractions” (p. 9).
