The purpose of this study is to explore the differences among sex, vocational type and grade of public vocational high school students in mathematic learning motivation. This study adopted a questionnaire, “Scale of Math Learning Motivation”, to collect data. The population was the vocational high school students from one public high school in Taichung. The samples were 530 students. The valid returned questionnaires were 513 and the returned rate was 97.7%. The techniques of data analysis include mean, standard deviation, t-test, and one-way ANOVA.
The findings of this study are as follows:
1. The students from division of continuing education of vacational high school have average level of learning motivation in math. Among all of the factors influencing their learning motivation, it is “achievement goal” counted the most, and “performance goal orientation” counted the least.
2. There is no significant difference between different gender in their total scores of Scale of Math Learning Motivation. However, there is a significant difference in the subscales of “Scientific Learning Value”, “Performance Goal Orientaton”, and “Achievement Goal”.
3. There is no significant difference among different majors of students in the division of continuing education in their total scores of Scale of Math Learning Motivation. However, there is a significant difference in the subscales of “Self Efficacy”, and “Learning Environment Incentive”.
4. There is no significant difference among different grades of students in the division of continuing education in their total scores of Scale of Math Learning Motivation. However, there is a significant difference in the subscale of “Self Efficacy”.
Based upon the abovementioned results, the researcher provides conclusions and suggestions for instructors and future researchers.
