Approach to Learning Process: Superficial Learning and Deep Learning at Students

The forms of learning are varied, among them we could count superficial and deep learning. The theme proposed is an extension of our doctoral research concerns in Educational Sciences, concerns regarding learning activity as an activity under a continuous process of restructuring/reconsideration, through the influence of the new postmodern paradigms in education. Based on the comparison of the two forms, we find that each is associated with other forms of learning, which emphasizes polarities in the approach or orientation of the learner in this process. The paper aims to analyze specific student learning through the solid learning requirement because at such a level of education, the person may realize his full potential for learning. The higher education has different purposes and requirements comparative to other stages of the education and, therefore students have to adapt to these.
