The Effect of Value Co-creation on Student Benefits: A Systematic Literature Review

This paper aims to explore the benefits of value co-creation for students in higher education by developing key drivers, types, and challenges via Systematic Literature Review (SLR). It also defines the key priorities for future research. It used 22 peer- reviewed journals and articles between 2015 and 2024 using PRISMA on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. It found that student engagement, collaborative pedagogy, institutional support, trust, curriculum flexibility, and technology are the key drivers for the value co-creation of higher education. According to the analysis of the literature, there is a suggested typology including co-creation through pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, relationships, and technology. It is evident from the findings that co-creation has a positive effect on student involvement, critical thinking, motivation, and development of transferable skills. However, obstacles connected with the issue of power, institutionalization, scarcity of resources, and unequal access to technology are still to be tackled. It can be concluded that further research is needed regarding the development of a standard theoretical framework and empirical evidence.
