    The purpose of this study is to make clear what the mechanism is which form the likes-and-dislikes tendency toward studies of geography in elementary school and junior high school. The basic data of this research are: a questionnaire to junior high school, high school and university students; interviewal investigation to university students; the reminiscences of university students. As a result of analyzing the data following points are turned out.
    The extent of disliking studies of geography in elementary school pupils is extremely strong. Its most reason is, “The content of studies does not rouse their interests”. When it comes to junior high school students, the extent of dislikes fairly decrease. But still there are many students who maintain their dilikes tendency. “Too much study items and necessity of memorizing” mainly accounts for the reasons of this fact. However it is also turned out that the concern and interest in geography of elementary school and junior high school is not small so much. Especially students not only in junior high school but also in elementary school have a great interest in foreign countries. Consequently it becomes clear that being carried out the studies of geography which does not correspond with the level of students' intelligence; inappropriate study guidance of teachers themselves, these two facts are attributed to the dislikes tendency in elementary school and junior high school.
    In order to convert studies of geography to more attractive one, two points below should be attached importance. The first point is to revise the curriculum of geography in elementary school and junior high school and adapt it to the interest of students. Especially it is necessary for fifth and sixth year elementary school pupils who have rich desire to learn, to restore the studies of World Geography. The second point is to train teachers who have enough ground of geography and teachingship for promoting interesting classes. The later point should be resolved with the consideration of the system of elective subject for geography in high school and what a training for teachers in university should be.
