RESUMO

In 1974, Marton and Säljö introduced qualitative concepts to identify learning approaches in a reading situation with college students. The results showed two postures adopted to perform these activities: one called deep approach, in which students can establish relationships based in their prior knowledge, understanding the meaning of the text in a deeply and, a second one, called surface approach, which was assumed by students concerned just for withholding information, without relating with another knowledge. Inspired by this work, authors evaluated the presence of these attitudes in different countries, cultures and educational systems, and verified the presence of the deep and surface approaches, where deeper students achieved better results of learning . Considering a qualitative approach, as developed by Biggs, another category was found and defined as the strategic approach. The students of this group use motivations and strategies to get high scores in assessments. Considering the differences among these groups of students, as the first step, I identified in a group of 302 third graders students of a Public High School, located in the western side of city of Sao Paulo. Inspired by the work of Biggs and LPQ methodology, we developed a modified instrument for this classification. I identified ten students with deep approach to learning (4 in the daytime and 6 in the nighttime), 34 students with deep strategic approach (18 in the daytime and 16 in the nighttime) and 258 undefined students. From the deep and deep-strategic studentsidentification, we evaluated which qualities of good teacher are expected by these students. The results showed that deep students valued a professional teacher, committed, dedicated, highly qualified and pedagogic, that understand the differences between students, is attentive, court orders, friendly. And that other students, in addition to previous characteristics, are demand knowledge related to the content and the requirement of the evaluation activities.
