While the image that will represent a country it develops through a specific political project, which only includes aspects that intended highlighting the political elite and also intervenes economic interests, it is presented some groups trying to vindicate those populations refused and invisible. In this sense, the present paper reflects about some Dominican works of art developed during and after the Trujillo’s government that, in despite of the violent context of the dictatorship, depicts everyday life and the societ which coexists into the Dominican territory, a heterogeneous society with diverse cultural heritages, as it is the Afro case.

The research topic focuses on life conditions and family work strategies of coffee harvesters in Yalí (2016-2017). For data collected during the research process, the ethnography was the used method. Every daily life components of coffee harvesters were analyzed and described in detail. The harvest period is given once a year, and the duration is between two or three times a month, when each family it is involved in coffee harvest because of this one is the unique source of income during the year. The coffee harvesters’ case is reflected as a complex reality, which, first, it is linked to the macroeconomic indicators, and subsequently, it carries out an approach to the study of their life conditions during the coffee harvest period on their work. The socioeconomic conditions of the coffee harvesters has as starting point the income varying between 6,000 a 7,000 córdobas per month, these must be aligned to the cessation period of the coffee harvest. Related to the food situation, the intake it is based on two types of food: beans and corn. On the other hand, housings are based on perishable materials, and during the coffee harvest period they live in camps of farms. In addition, the education level is between completed and uncompleted primary school. Finally, the strategy family consists on involve each family for social reproduction of itself.

The discoveries neuroscience about cerebral dominance and its multiple applications for life have been increasing. There are many research works on the application of neuroscience in educational improvement, although there are few at the higher education level. This work had two purposes; the first one was identify and compare the cerebral dominance profile of phycology students of UNAN-Managua from different academic years (2009, 2010, 2013). The second one, was verify the cerebral dominance in a sample of students at the beginning and end of their undergraduate studies. The investigation results show a simple dominance, the preference of Left Brain Hemisphere particularly of Left cortical; Lower Dominance on Right Brain Hemisphere specially of Right Limbic quadrant. On the other side, based on the comparison of scores obtained from the pre and post test, it observes that there are no changes related to the dominance of the different quadrants of both the Left Brain Hemisphere and Left Brain Hemisphere. To evaluate the tendency to use the four quadrants by students, according to the Whole Brain Model by Ned Hermann (1989) the Chalvin test (1993) was used, a self-administrated instrument which is answered within 15 or 20 minutes, this consists of 22 items (with four response options, of which one or two are chosen) related to the study activities and daily life. The answers are transferred to a correction template and, added the scores per quadrant, the profile is obtained.

Virtual education is an educational field that we are developing as a country and educational institution. However, as it is a recent process with many uncertainties, it is necessary to share these reflections. In this sense, we start by reflecting on our role as lecturers in this experience and the expectations that this is the opportunity to reinforce the desires for another possible education, more incarnated in this contemporary world, as well as in the native language of the new generations.
