Furthermore, The study also discussed the relationships between learning motivation and learning satisfaction, and the predictability of learning motivation toward learning satisfaction. The research using questionnaire survey took place at an elementary school in Taichung city, which received a total of 325 effective questionnaires done by the fifth and sixth graders. The returned questionnaire data were processed and analyzed with SPSS 12.0. Statistical significance was set at α = .05. According to the analysis, the conclusions were as follows: 1.Students' learning motivation in mathematical field were above the average, and expectancy for success scored the highest, but self-efficacy scored the lowest. 2.Students' learning satisfaction in mathematical field were above the average, and peer relationships scored the highest, but curriculum materials scored the lowest. 3.Students' grade, their family socioeconomic status, and whether they participate in cram school had significant impact on learning motivation. However, gender was not a factor. 4.Students' grade, their family socioeconomic status, and whether they participate in cram school had significant impact on learning satisfaction. However, gender was not a factor. 5.Overall,learning motivation and learning satisfaction in mathematical field were medium positively correlated. Within all aspects of learning motivation, intrinsic goal orientation had the highest correlation with learning satisfaction. 6.Learning motivation could be effectively predicted through learning satisfaction in mathematical field. Especially, intrinsic goal orientation had the highest predictability to students' overall learning satisfaction. In conclusion, based on the research, the author provided some suggestions as reference for schools, teachers and future researches.
