Summary/Abstract: Educational reform in Lithuania was presented in the 1991 conference "The Concept of National Educational Reform". The main aspects at the moment are as follows: the implementation of a national curriculum, publishing new textbooks, and innovating the teacher-training curriculum at high schools and universities. The central focus of the paper is university teachers thinking and student-teachers' thinking about traditional and cooperative learning at universities. The main goal of this study was to find out mare about university teachers' thinking and student-teachers' thinking of traditional and cooperative learning. This is quite a new method of learning in Lithuanian universities. 45 students-teachers seeking a Master's degree and 15 university teachers holding Doctorate degrees anonymously completed a Semantic Differential type scale which asked them to rate traditional and cooperative learning in terms of 19 bi-polar rating factors.
