Background: In response to the increasing diversity in nursing education, the Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) offers a transformative approach to understanding and addressing the unique learning needs of students from various backgrounds.
Objectives: To identify how Legitimation Code Theory has informed the design of professional education in biological and health sciences.
Design: An integrative review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and guided by the five-step process by Whittemore and Knafl.
Data Sources: A comprehensive search of eight databases was conducted (IEEEXplore, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest central, EBSCOHost, MEDLINE with full text, CINAHL and INFORMIT) using key concepts: Legitimation Code Theory and professional education from inception until November 2023.
Review Methods: All studies were reviewed by two researchers independently. The same authors appraised the studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool with a third author providing consensus. The findings were coded and analysed using narrative synthesis.
Results: From the initial 518 records screened, 11 studies were identified where Legitimation Code Theory was used in biological and health science education. There were four themes identified in the review: a) Legitimation Code Theory as a framework for data analysis; b) Identifying and enhancing learning outcomes through Legitimation Code Theory; c) Pedagogy design informed by Legitimation Code Theory; and d) Legitimation Code Theory to contextualise disciplinary knowledge.
Conclusion: This review highlights the significant influence of Legitimation Code Theory on professional education, particularly in the biological and health sciences. The versatility and effectiveness of Legitimation Code Theory are evident across various disciplines, including nursing education. As a comprehensive framework, Legitimation Code Theory not only aids in pedagogy design but also facilitates the transfer of learning, thereby promoting critical thinking. This demonstrates its robustness as a tool in the realm of professional education.
