The aim of the present paper is to understand how university students learn, and to comprehend the motivations and learning strategies they use when deciding in what field to major. We chose a combined research design: qualitative and quantitative. We applied the Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Learning and Studying Processes (CEPEA) to Biochemistry students attending the National University of Tucumán (Argentina), and performed individual semi-structured interviews. Cluster analysis allowed us to identify three groups of students having who use different learning approaches: deep, superficial and ambivalent. We found that learning approaches are closely related with some teaching practices that encourage or inhibit them; among these are the types of learning evaluation. El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender cómo aprenden los alumnos universitarios y conocer las motivaciones, estrategias y metas académicas que se plantean a la hora de estudiar una carrera. Optamos por un diseño de investigación cuanti-cualitativo. Utilizamos el Cuestionario de Evaluación de Procesos de Estudio y Aprendizaje en el alumnado de la carrera de Bioquímica en la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (Argentina) y entrevistas semiestructuradas. El análisis cluster permitió identificar tres grupos de estudiantes que presentan diferencias en sus enfoques de aprendizaje: profundo, superficial y ambivalente. Encontramos que los enfoques se relacionan estrechamente con algunas prácticas de enseñanza que los promueven o inhiben, como las formas de evaluación del aprendizaje.
