LEGOR® for Professional Development: A Systematic Literature Review

The purpose of this systematic literature review is to map how LEGO (R) is currently utilised within formal and non-formal education to support professional development of adults. The review process encapsulates a wide range of evidence related to LEGO use (R) in diverse educational practices and settings. A total of 43 articles were thoroughly reviewed to answer three research questions and explore the use of diverse LEGO (R) types and its effect in professional development. The SLR identified a number of applications in both formal and non-formal education methodological approaches and a number of benefits related to the use of LEGO (R) in professional development particularly in supporting diverse skills such as teamwork learning and creativity. Finally the paper suggests a taxonomy of professional kills in adult education with LEGO (R) organised in personal social and methodological skills.
