The teacher's perspective in the application of ICT to the student's cognitive process in technological higher education in Ecuador has been little studied. The objective of this work is to relate these two variables (bearing in mind their use, functionality and perception of them) with the student's cognitive activity. The methodology used was qualitative, developed as a non-experimental, cross-sectional study and a population sample at convenience, the expert judgment method was used to validate the developed construct, in addition to assessing the objectivity and content of the instrument, to for which the coincidence criterion was used, the reliability of the survey was measured by means of the Cronbach's Alpha statistic, the correlation of the variables was made by using the cross tables and the Chi-square statistic. It is concluded that teachers who have more experience better adapt the use of ICT as tools to achieve significant improvements in the cognitive process of students. Young teachers (less than 3 years old) also adapt to the use of ICT in their daily work, while the stratum of seniority from 4 to 7 years is divided in opinion on this hypothesis
