Based on the purposes mentioned above, this study was undertaken in the light of the following three aspects. First, to explore how students from different backgrounds reacted to the explore education in terms of their learning motivation and satisfaction after the practice of the explore education. Second, to investigate the correlation between the students’ motivation and their satisfaction to learning. Third, to apply the outcome of the study as reference or suggestions to the national defense education in the future in the aspects of instructional objectives, instructional design of teaching activity structures, instructional strategies, and instructional design of assessments. According to the literature review, learning motivation is defined in three aspects: intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, and task value. Likewise, learning satisfaction is defined in the following three aspects: learning environment, learning activities, and learning achievements. The subjects in this study were the senior high first graders in a six-year high school in Kaohsiung. 265 copies of questionnaires were issued, and 248 valid questionnaires received, so the effective rate is 93.58%. The data analysis of the study was administered in a statistical program, SPSS. On the basis of the analysis results, further investigation was made to compare the differences of learning motivation among the first-grade students from different backgrounds who participate in the national defense education, to examine the changes of students’ learning satisfaction before and after the national defense education, and to explore the relation between the students’ motivation and satisfaction to learning. The major findings of the study are summarized as follow: In the aspect of students’ learning motivation, all the students showed positive attitude toward the national defense education, especially in the item of task value. And the second highest is the item of intrinsic goal orientation. In the aspect of students’ learning satisfaction, the students gave positive feedback after receiving the national defense education, especially in the item of learning activities. And the second highest is the item of learning environment. In the aspect of students’ learning motivation to the national defense education, there was significant difference among the students of different genders and different self-learning frequencies. In the aspect of students’ learning satisfaction, there was significant difference among the students of different self-learning frequencies after they finished one semester of the national defense education. There was significant correlation between students’ learning motivation and satisfaction to the national defense education. In the national defense education, students preferred more challenging courses. That is to say, the explore education can help promote students’ learning motivation because most of it requires both brainstorming and physical activities.
