BARROS, Rita; MONTEIRO, Angélica Reis  and  MOREIRA, José António Marques. Learning in higher education: relations with the predisposition of students to be involved in lifelong learning. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2014, vol.95, n.241, pp.544-566. ISSN 2176-6681.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S2176-6681/305811495.

The current investigation proposes to analyze the relationship between learning, based on the appropriation that students make of the different ways of learning and studying, and their willingness to be involved in lifelong learning (LL) activities. The theoretical rationale is inscribed in the Biggs' Theory (1987), concerning the student's approach to learning, and under the guiding principle of LL. We present a correlational study, with a sample of 163 higher education students. The approaches to learning were supported by the Revised Two-factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F). The results obtained allow us to associate the deep approach to some characteristics of learners throughout their life.

Keywords : Higher Education; Learning Styles; Lifelong Learning.
