The concept of value, in a context of higher education institutions (HEIs), simply refers to meeting or exceeding customer requirements and expectations. HEIs have a fundamental role in the dissemination of knowledge, in addition to developing new skills and awareness for future professionals, in relation to local, regional and national issues. The aim of this research is to analyse the academic activities and outcomes influence on value generation perception in a public university students' perspective. A survey, built from a structured questionnaire, was carried out in a Brazilian HEI, the Federal University of Santa Maria, with students who are in their course final stage. Data collection came out with a valid sample of 389 respondents. It was analysed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor and regression analyses. The findings suggest that among the services and resources that the university may offer to its students, the ones that present the most impact refer to cognitive and social abilities emerging from specific teaching practices and strategies from the professors. This research presents useful insights and applicable elements from which public managers can utilize to enhance engagement, create value and build a more rigorous and relevant practice.

公立高等教育中学术活动的价值生成：精益视角

在高等教育机构（HEIs）的背景下，价值概念仅指满足或超越客户的要求和期望。除了为未来专业人员培养与地方、区域和国家问题相关的新技能和意识之外，高等教育机构在知识传播方面发挥着基础作用。本研究的目的是从公立大学生的角度分析学术活动和成果对价值生成感知的影响。巴西圣玛丽亚联邦大学对处于课程最后阶段的学生进行了一项基于结构化问卷的调查。数据收集得出了 389 名受访者的有效样本。使用描述性统计、探索性因素和回归分析对其进行分析。研究结果表明，在大学可能向学生提供的服务和资源中，最具影响力的是教授的具体教学实践和策略所产生的认知和社交能力。这项研究提出了有用的见解和适用的要素，公共管理者可以利用它们来提高参与度、创造价值并建立更严格和相关的实践。
