Abstract

Previous studies have shown the usefulness of ontologies in the creation, consolidation, distribution and combination of new knowledge in the field of educational innovation to obtain a continuous flow of knowledge between individuals and organizations. In this paper, some phases of Nonaka's epistemological and ontological spirals are modified, and a layer to interact between them is added to create an ontology for a specific organization of higher education. The proposed model allows the classification of educational innovation best practices and encourages their transference into the organization through a knowledge management system developed in previous works. The proposed ontology is validated through a descriptive study. This allows a comparison of the different points of view of the authors of the best practices and those of an expert team, all involved in the knowledge spirals. This paper offers an ontology to classify educational innovation best practices and facilitate the search for these and their subsequent application in other contexts.
