This draws from a self-constructed questionnaire of political attitude primary schools, given to 5th and 6th grade school students in Tainan. The 1226 valid returns were analyzed through methods such as ‘Reliability, Validation, and CR Analysis’, ‘Descriptive Statistics Analysis’, ‘Independent Test’, ‘One-Way ANOVA’, ‘Chi-Square Test’, ‘Pearson Product-Moment Correlation’, ‘Regression Analysis’, this thesis finds the discovers below: 1. Among five political aspects of primary school students, including, “the sense of nation identity”, “the sense of political trust”, “the sense of political efficacy”, “democratic value orientation”, and “union or independent tendency”. The first four attitudes tend toward positive, and the last one tends to independence. 2. Students with different grades, school location, ethnic group, and political party deviation showed significant differences in “ the sense of national identity.” 3. Students with different grades, school location, ethnic group , staff experience, media contact, and political party deviation showed significant differences in “union or independent tendency.” 4. Students with different grades, school location, staff experience, media contact, and political party deviation showed significant differences in “the sense of political trust.” 5. Students with different gender, grades, school location, family’s socio-economic status, staff experience, media contact, and political party deviation showed significant differences in “the sense of political efficacy” and “democratic value orientation.” 6. Students with different gender, school location, ethnic group,family’s socio-economic status and media contact showed significant differences in “political party deviation.” 7.

The correlations between“democratic value orientation.”and “Union or independent tendency”and” the sense of political efficacy” were significant. 8.
