ENArticle prepared under the project "Assessment and Recognition of Non-formal and Informal Learning at University Studies" (Project No BPD2004-ESF-2.4.0-03-05/0086; Agreement No ESF/2004/2.4.0-03-308/BPD-94/PES-7) analyses some methodological aspects related to the process of assessment of formal, non-formal and informal learning at university level, i.e. the principles of good practice of assessment and assessment methods leading to effective assessment. The article also presents results of the study into adults' needs of assessment and recognition of non-formal and informal learning in Lithuania. A sample of 449 respondents in Vilnius and Šiauliai regions participated in the study. The main findings of the study indicate that there exists a need of assessment and recognition of non-formal and informal learning at university level: the respondents expressed a positive attitude towards a possibility to participate in the process of assessment and recognition of prior learning at university level; the respondents' present involvement in training courses does not influence their wish to participate in the training designed to teach future candidates to document their non-formal and informal learning; the respondents age has an impact on their wish to participate in the training; the respondents' education does not influence their wish to participate in the training.
