The sample size was 114schoolchildren of 12 years, the presence of periodontal disease was evaluated by the Russell index.Results:The prevalenceof periodontal disease was 32.46%, predominantly female. According to the arch, more corresponded, was the bottom with53.46%; and according to the side there, the right side predominantly with 51.35%.Conclusions:It is concluded that theperiodontal disease in this parish was high, regardless of the arch or the side in which the disease is present.

The objective of this work is to determine anxiety towards mathematics in problem-solving by civil engineering students, taking into consideration factors associated with anxiety. This is quantitative research based on a descriptive design with the participation of civil engineering students from the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast, from communities on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua. The results show that civil engineering students have positive anxiety towards mathematics (M = 16.46; SD = 2.71); positive anxiety towards problem-solving (M = 10.66; SD = 2.06); positive anxiety towards evaluation situations (M = 13.10; SD = 2.10); interest in mathematics is positive and relevant in the student body (M = 22.41; SD = 4.78); and the utility towards mathematics is positive and important for the student (M = 17.82; SD = 3.37). It is concluded that anxiety towards mathematics, in general, is positive with a high average tendency (M = 81.49; Error = 1.06) and that the anxiety towards mathematics scale has an adequate model with a reliability of 87, 75%, which would allow its use in diverse contexts.

The historical memory of the Esquipulas Public School is built using the methodology of oral history, based on the testimonies of teachers, alumni, retired teachers, directors, administrators, residents of the community of Esquipulas, and the review of official documents. Books of records and minutes and reports that the school files. The results presented are the product of the essential aspects of the history of the school, including: its origin, names qua has had in its historical process, the dream of the computer lab, the memories and experiences of teachers, directors and staff administrative. The article concludes by reflecting on the importance of recovering the historical memory of schools as a task that also concerns teachers for the strengthening of local and institutional identity and the promotion of values ​​such as local and national belonging, Useful values ​​in the preservation and care of public and private property.

In the different educational spaces it is common to refer to innovative methodologies and traditional methodologies, especially in the current context where the new teaching is being spokesman of changes in teaching methodologies that have long been well rooted, particularly in teaching of the social sciences. However, while the struggle between the innovative and the traditional deepens in the spaces of educational debates, the traditional pedagogical practices in the classroom remain unchanged and, on the other hand, the students -now regardless of the new resources offered society- they are waiting expectantly for other ways of learning. From this, the present investigation was proposed to investigate the opinion of the student about the innovative and traditional didactic strategies, for this an exploratory experimental design was used and a didactic intervention of ten class sessions was carried out, in order to generate a space of reflection among teachers regarding the challenges of educational innovation.

The Management of Intercultural Communication plays a fundamental and strategic role in the Dialogue of Knowledge and Facts, because it harmonizes, shares and builds collectively. Therefore, it is important to share and describe the processes that are experienced from Western communication and intercultural communication and the commitment to the management of a more human communication. Intercultural communication is an element under construction, which has been gaining ground due to its approach and humanization of good practices that contribute to a better and inclusive world. Intercultural communication has to do with aspects of the promotion of interpersonal and collective relationships, where they share knowledge and knowledge through practice, brotherhood and reciprocity. In the dialogues of knowledge and doers that they propose and do are the same peoples, they are the indigenous and afro-descendant communities, through their experiences and realities, through their own construction processes, their families and communities, in order to contribute and create opportunities for visibility and participatory construction.

This research tries to describe the attitudes toward mathematics, have influence in the teaching and learning of the discipline and the need to approach from an analysis of the curricular content of secondary education of Nicaragua. It is a qualitative study from an approach of the grounded theory that allowed to explain the theory and its relations between the categories. Therefore, a question guide was proposed for the revision of the following documents: basic and secondary education curriculum; math program from seventh to eleventh grade; and seventh to eleventh grade math textbook. It is concluded that there is presence of the attitudinal component in the curricular contents of the mathematics discipline, as well as emotional components as a transversal axis of Nicaraguan mathematics education.

Today, an intercultural education is needed that tries to democratize the spaces for the construction of knowledge through the recreation and creation of knowledge and practices from the community. That is, a quality education based on community conditions, made aware and that develops critical thinking and allows the construction of creative, affective and inclusive societies. History is the pillar for the revitalization of the wisdoms and knowledge of the peoples, because it helps to rebuild a culture of peace that favors an environment conducive to solving problems of daily life.

The Electronic Journal of Knowledge, Wisdom, and Practices is an interdisciplinary publication of a scientific and technological nature in the field of education. The journal is a space for dissemination and publication of research papers, innovation experiences, educational reflection, and review of books related to education in its broadest aspect, extending its coverage to professionals from other related disciplines. In this sense, an approach to measurement in inclusive learning environments is a publication that presents research results related to education, happiness, affectivity, mathematics, and measurement.

The principle of proportionality is one of the oldest forms of distribution in the literature of distribution problems. In this article two characterizations of the proportional rule are given: one as the only function that satisfies the axioms of additivity, invariance of scale, equity and convexity; and the other characterization uses the axioms of equal treatment to equals and convexity.

This article describes the analysis of a happiness measurement scale, consisting of 27 Likert items with five alternatives. The scale was administered to 237 students of the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast- Las Minas University campus, men and women, from 16 to over 36 years of age. The item-test analysis found highly significant correlations for each of the reagents (p <.001), which indicates that the items measure indicators of the same construct. Most of the items have a discrimination index of ≥ 0.4, which indicates that they discriminate positively to a high degree, that is, they are well understood and understood by the majority. The reliability scale has a high internal consistency α = 0.895 which means that they can be interpreted in the sense that all the items measure indicators of the same construct (happiness) and that they favor to measure it effectively since they have or are part largely from the main feature, happiness. Likewise, a direct relationship is shown between the variables associated with happiness (r> 0), but there is also a high correlation with significance at the 0.01 level. The happiness scale has good factor validity. Seven factors were extracted: F1. with 9 items; F2 with 10 items; F3 has 5 elements, factors 4,5 and 6 respectively, only one item and factor 7, it does not present exclusive factor loads, rather it has significant loads (greater 0.24) of items I17 and I15, items that are respectively located and established in the first factors because they converge better in them. The factor loads of each variable, in each of the factors, range between 0.236 and 0.791.
