This paper aims to analyze some learning preferences of undergraduate BSc students in order to verify which aspects of the major Learning Theories are more adequate to such profile. In order to perform this, the core elements of Behaviorism, Constructivism, Social Interactionism, Rationalism and Meaningful Learning theories were observed and synthesized into a form with multiple choice questions. A group of students from a University in São Paulo city was chosen, being composed by 26 Computer Sciences students and 22 Mechanical Engineering students, totalizing 48 students. The results of this research, followed by some considerations, are presented in this paper.
