ABSTRACT

Information and communication technologies have brought about transformations in the relationship between digital natives and immigrants. This has affected the teaching-learning process for digital natives and immigrants who use different technological languages. The purpose of the study was to characterize digital natives and immigrants, and identify the influence of the digital gap on health science teaching. A systematic review was conducted from August to November 2017 of scientific papers published in the databases EBSCO, Google Scholar, Redalyc, Science Direct, Scopus and PubMed since the year 2014. Of the 850 publications found, 60 met the inclusion criteria. In order to reduce the impact of the difference between digital natives and immigrants on medical education it is important to foster the permanent training of teachers in the use and adequate management of the new technologies. This will allow the generation of more interactive pedagogical models and teaching strategies in keeping with the needs of future health professionals.
