For this purpose, with statistical information provided by the Ministry of Education and using the econometric technique of the Grouped Ordinary Least Squares, the regional performances of children in Reading Comprehension and Mathematical with malnutrition and a set of control variables were regressed. The results indicate that at a regional level, there is a statistically significant measure that given a 1% decrease in regional children’s undernourishment rate, there is an increase in performance in Reading Comprehension and Mathematics in 0.52% and 0.27% respectively.

Para tal fin, con información estadística proporcionada por el Ministerio de Educación y utilizando la técnica econométrica de los Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios Agrupados, se regresionaron los desempeños regionales de los niños en Comprensión Lectora y Matemática con la desnutrición y un conjunto de variables de control. Los resultados encontrados indican que, a nivel regional, por cada 1% en que disminuye el porcentaje de niños desnutridos, la proporción de aquellos que alcanzan un rendimiento escolar satisfactorio en Comprensión Lectora y Matemática se incrementan en 0,52% y 0,27% respectivamente. El aspecto nutricional influye sobre el rendimiento escolar mediante su efecto en la capacidad cognitiva del niño.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Ciencias Económicas2019-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/econo/article/view/1656010.15381/pc.v24i1.16560Pensamiento Crítico; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2019); 79-102Pensamiento Crítico; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2019); 79-1022617-21431728-502Xreponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/econo/article/view/16560/14205Derechos de autor 2019 Juan León Mendozahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/165602020-02-07T16:13:05Z
