This work is a case study that aims to investigate how ICT is used in secondary education. The research has a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational approach; a survey was applied to recently graduated students to find out how ICT was used at school. It was found that educational institutions have deficiencies in their technological infrastructure, in addition, teachers and students use technological resources in a limited way, wasting their potential; Students spend a good part of their time on social networks and video games, despite acknowledging that it does not benefit them. This information is important because, based on these data; decisions can be made that optimize the use of ICT in Ecuadorian secondary education.PalabrasClave/KeywordsEducación secundaria; redes sociales; recursos tecnológicos; TIC; videojuegos/Secondary education; social networks; technological resources; ICT; videogames*Dirección para correspondencia:[email protected]ículo recibido el 10-05-2020Artículo aceptado el 30-03-2021Artículo publicado el 30 -04-2021Conflicto de intereses no declarado.Fundada 2016 Unidad de Cooperación Universitaria de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí, Ecuador.1Mg., Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, Cuenca, Ecuador, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0372-20712Mg., Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, Cuenca, Ecuador, [email protected],https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2730-9342
