Sumario:The relationship between digital immigrant professors and native digital students, from the perspective, that natives have greater digital/technological proficiency, prescribes a relevant point of discussion, especially observing whether this proficiency is linked to scientific research practices. The present study aims to explore the educational relationship of professors (digital immigrants) and students (digital natives) under the perception of technological skills in favor of the development of teaching and research in information science. In this direction, it is possible to ponder about the technological management of professors who work in higher education, who are faced with the insertion of individuals of Z generation in the classrooms of Brazilian universities. This scientific work brings a qualitative approach, based on the conceptual treatment of bibliographic, exploratory, and descriptive research. It is believed that university pedagogical innovation, information literacy and alternative methodologies become the main allies for understanding the current context of higher education, to align the different generations, which sometimes clash over technological treatment and its relationship with scientific production. Therefore, it is important to make a cautious reflection in order not to reinforce speeches that do not always match the educational reality of Higher Education institutions but to realize the possibilities and potentialities regarding information science for a convergence of the performance of teachers and students in the environments - educational and social.
