The purpose of this systematic literature review is to map how LEGO® 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® 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® 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® in professional development, particularly in supporting diverse skills, such as teamwork, learning, and creativity. Finally, the paper suggests a taxonomy of professional skills in adult education with LEGO®, organised in personal, social and methodological skills.
