In this study,we use stratified sampling method on the basis of systematic investigation on medical students in different levels and majors to analysis their values and academic motivation and make some suggestions to guiding them establish the correct values and be qualified to our society.Use values questionnaire as tools,we get the conclusions as follows:1,Students on different levels own different academic motivation and values. In learning strategy,the non-medical students were better than traditional Chinese Medicine students,students who major in medicine is not as good as other professional students. In the motivation of academic motivation,Chinese medicine profession students is lower than other professional students; in work value, non-medical students was significantly higher than that of traditional Chinese Medicine students,girls'was significantly higher than that for boys. There is no significant difference in academic motivation on born place and whether they are singleton or not.2. Personal value and work value has positive and negative correlations with motivation and strategies respectively,in a word,the frontal can predict the latter effectively. The correlation between values and motivation,learning strategy were similar,despite the students'professions were different .But the correlation of traditional Chinese medicine students'value and motivation,learning strategies was greater than non-medical students',traditional Chinese medicine students'personal value and work value could be better forecast academic motivation.3. There is obvious linear relationship between personal value and work value. Traditional Chinese Medicine students'personal value and work value can be better predict and interpret motivation and learning strategies than all students and non- medical students,non-medical students'prediction was the least.
