Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the research is to analyze the children's attitudes to learning environment in a comparative aspect. The contemporary concept of good learning includes l) the context of learning, 2) learner's initiative, goals and 3) the co-operation of all participants of the learning process. Due opinion of students about their rights in school and in the learning process reflects the real situation: i.e., the situation as perceived by students. In order to work according to the imperatives of the concept good learning, it is crucial to take into consideration students' opinions and to evaluate the situation consistently with the evaluation that students complete. The attitudes of children of various ages (aged 7-9, 12-14, 16-18) and adults (teachers, parents, others) with regard to the rights children have and the rights they need to have were obtained by a questionnaire procedure carried out in Lithuania and Sweden in 1998.
