This paper was conducted to show the position of this study on learning motivation and to construct the scales: cognition scale of learning significance, learning attitude scale and learning objective scale. Based upon the results of item analysis to examine reliability and validity, cognition scale was constructed consisting of 15 items with 3 subscales: needs for sociality, efficiency and consistency; attitude scale of 19 items with 3 subscales: cognition, feelings and behavior; and objective scale of 5 items.

    The purposes of this study were to grasp the actual conditions about cognition of learning significance and learning attitude toward home economics education, and to investigate their relationship. In a sample of 483 senior high school students, the results were as follows: 1. Students' learning activity was based on their needs for "sociality" and "efficiency" rather than "consistency". 2. Although the students' attitudes were active in the cognitive domain, they were likely to become passive in matters of feelings and behavior. 3. Students' learning attitudes were correlated with their cognition of learning significance, and the more need for "consistency" they recognized the more active behavior they showed. 4. Even if students recognized the learning significance well enough and showed their active attitudes toward home economics, it does not always follow that it comes from their practical desires, which leaves a problem to consider.

Five factors, enjoying and relaxing, eating out and eating between meals, health, eating at will and gourmet, were extracted by a factor analysis of their consciousness of dietary life. 3. The factor scores relevant to enjoying and relaxing and to eating out and eating between meals were significantly difference between male and female, the female students regarded enjoying and relaxing as important factors in dietary life comparing to the male students and showed less inclination to eat out and eat snack. 4. Those having low scores of knowledge of food and nutrition tended to eat out, eat snack and eat at will more frequently than those having high scores. 5. The factor scores relevant to enjoying and relaxing and to eating out and eating between meals were significantly difference with frequency of conversation, those who talk frequently about food life with family showed a marked tendency to enjoy meal and ate out and ate snack less frequently.
