Abstract

The Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua has a history characterized by the cultural diversity of Indigenous, Afro-descendant and mestizos coastal peoples. This reason determines the educational community of URACCAN, between teachers, administrative staff, and its student group, which lives in the interaction, coexistence, and ways of relating to each other. The present work is a study that analyzes the perception of interculturality from a student's point of view. The quantitative paradigm guides the categorization, description, and analysis of data, involving statistics, internal consistency analysis, principal component analysis, and descriptive study.

Among the major results, we can mention that the EEI Scale showed that the majority of URACCAN students have a positive perception towards interculturality, highlighting the influence of variables such as ethnicity, sex, origin, and the student's career. In the analysis of the Efficacy, Attitude and Experience subscales, behavior has its variants, mainly in the Efficacy dimension compared to Attitude and Experience. While most students respond positively to attitude and experience, indifference prevails in the first aspect (Efficacy).

Students live in a multicultural context, which favors intercultural relationships and therefore results in sub-dimensions of attitude and experience.
