This study is aimed to identify the motivation congifguration factors on reading for high school students. This research is about what factors affect students` motivation to read and how genders, grades and establishment purposes of schools influence the differences among schools. This paper is analyzed based on total 2,421 cases from 4 high schools:General high school(Bucheon jungheunggo), Science High School (Kounggi north science high school), Foreign language high school (Dongducheon foreign language high school), vocational high school (Chung Myung vocational high school). To analyze the motivation configuration factors on reading, we conducted the preliminary test and main test including the 1st and 2nd factor analysis to make the final 28 questions more reliable and objective. After the 2nd factor analysis, the factors which comprise the motivation to read for high school students turn out to be the “social interaction-interest”, “recognition”, “self-efficacy on reading”,”Commitment-Curiosity”, respectively. We analyzed the differences of the motivation congifguration factors based on genders, grades, and establishment purposes of schools. With a t-test, the difference between genders revealed that “recognition” and “Commitment-curiosity” factors have a meaningful relation. With a ANOVA, the difference between grades was analyzed. But there were no significant differences in grades. Likewise, the difference of the establishment purposes of schools was analyzed with a ANOVA. As its result, the meaningful differences were found in all factors.
