Abstract
Despite the growth of information and communication technologies (ICT), some questions remain, such as, how do information and communication technologies (ICT) actually contribute to the teaching-learning process in higher education, and what is the potential of their use? In this context, the perception of the use of ICT in students from the School of Education of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja was studied. For this purpose, a quantitative, descriptive, and trans-sectional study was carried out, applying an ad hoc questionnaire validated using the Delphi technique. Through the statistical analysis of data, the strengths and potentialities in the knowledge, uses, and attitudes of university students towards these technologies were defined, as well as the improvement issues that must be considered by professors and authorities. Despite the positive perception and regular use of ICT, many specific tools and technological applications for academic and work purposes are unknown to them.
