Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the 21st century became the dominant form of communication in educational practices, capable of transforming and improving student learning. The objective was to identify the perception of students of the Obstetrics career about Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching-learning process in San Lorenzo-Paraguay, in 2017. This was an observational study with phenomenological design and qualitative approach carried out in the Instituto Andrés Barbero-UNA, central house. Sampling was intentional and sample was 20 students enrolled in the fourth year, eighth semester. For the data collection, a semi-structured interview with a guide of questions was used. A recorder was used during the interviews after the verbal consent of the students. The socio-demographic data were tabulated by descriptive statistics and presented in tables while the interviews were transcribed. Most of the students were female, between 21 and 22 years of age, from the Central Department and from Asuncion. According to the participants, the professors use ICT as a source of educational resources, means of research and flexible learning. ICT invites the student to investigate but teaching strategies are limited when it is used. However, for the student ICT is addictive, isolates them, and causes visual problems. In general, the student perception on ICT is favorable.
