The number of high school students who claim to dislike physics is increasing in Japan. This trend has been observed not only for students whose major is Civilization, Literature and so on, but also for freshmen in Science and Engineering. This trend affects the process of designing besic programs for physics teaching to lower year students at university. In order to find a reason why this trend is expanding into a wide range of the young generation. We conducted a survey on the reasons why physics id disliked by first-year students, after they have completed the subject"Physics Experiments ?". It has been pointed out that the main reason is the entrance exam for university. However, another reason is made clears by the presend study, Which is the students'motivation for studying physics. The motivation is depends largely on the teacher and way of teaching at high school. The investigation is conducted through a questionnaire for freshmen who have graduated from either public or private high schools. Differences in ways of teaching between both high schools are pointed out.
