Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyze both approaches to learning and factors influencing deep approach to learning. Methods of literature analyses and questionnaires were employed in order to identify approaches to learning in Lithuanian higher education. Concepts of learning, developed by Marton and Saljo, together with approaches (surface and deep) were employed in order to identify situation. Ideas of Lithuanian and foreign scientists (L.. Jovaiša, L. Šiaučiukėnienė, R. Laužackas, L. Kraujutaitytė, P. Jucevičienė, R. Bamett, P. Ramsden) were employed in order to identify the most important elements of learning. Motivations, fostering of independence, learning analysis, assessment, have been identified as important factors for deep approach to learning. Results of the study revealed that a relation between approaches to learning and age, and study stage exists in some instances.
