The continuous development of the Knowledge Society requires higher education institutions to prepare their professionals with increasing skills in the use of ICT applied to different fields of science. In this sense, and in order to adapt the learning objectives of the subjects related to ICT to the real needs of the students, it is essential to have an initial diagnosis of these competences of the students when they arrive at the university. Moreover, the objective of this work was to investigate the perceptions of students who enter the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the National University of Chimborazo in Ecuador, on the management of their ICT skills. For this, a non-experimental study of descriptive scope was designed, applying the survey technique with a previously developed and validated instrument in the Metropolitan University of Education Sciences of Chile. The results show certain preferences for the use of some tools and web 2.0 resources for collaborative work, storage in the cloud, to take notes, among others. As well as, their self-perception about the use of some technological tools.

Keywords : ICT; digital skills; university education; university students.
