Abstract

Higher education today operates in a globally competitive environment. Competition is increasingly focused on quality. The quality of higher education reflects the relationship of higher education with users. Higher education uses various standards in the internal quality assurance system. It makes improvements in performance, features, suitability, reliability, durability, service, responsiveness, aesthetics, and reputation to support the progress of the quality of its performance. Implementing standards requires excellent effort because it requires quality fulfillment, and the satisfaction of each standard criterion requires internal and external audit processes. Standard alignment is needed for cost efficiency in implementing standards. Standard alignment can be done with ontology alignment technology. However, before applying ontology alignment, each ontology standard is needed. This study aims to explore literature that has implemented ontology and ontology alignment in education. This study aims to find out whether there has been research on the alignment of educational quality standards. The results of this study show that ontology has been applied in education, namely on the topics of curriculum, e-learning, learning assessment, system integration, syllabus, learning style, service, and accreditation. The implementation of ontology alignment has been carried out on the topics of Profile Learning, Learning Design, E-Learning, Curriculum, and System Integration. While the application of ontology or ontology alignment on educational quality standards has yet to be found by research that discusses it, quality standards have been applied to quality management models based on ISO 9000 requirements and software quality standards based on CMMI standards. © 2023 International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology.
