coproduction, education, effects, benefits, challengesAbstract
Co-production involves users and providers in the joint delivery of services. In education, this process can involve parents, teachers, students, the community, and administrators in training and learning. Despite its relevance, bibliometric surveys point to a scarcity of studies analyzing the effects of this practice, in terms of benefits and challenges for the different actors. This study aims to propose a theoretical framework for the effects of co-production in education. To this end, 24 articles selected through a Systematic Literature Review were analyzed, following the PRISMA 2020 and Tranfield, Denyer, and Smart (2003) protocols. The resulting framework combines four categories of benefits (for students, schools, society, and public administration) and four categories of challenges (clarity of the process, replicability, demands on those involved, and the need for training). The study contributes to the advancement of the science of co-production by offering analytical categories applicable to education and supporting school management in understanding both the transformative potential and the limits of this approach.
