A survey model and cross-sectional type is used in the research. The study was conducted with 1629 students in eight state secondary schools in Ankara. “The Motivation towards Science Learning Scale” was used as data collection tool. As a result of the study, it was determined that gender of the teacher, the serving duration of the teacher, the presence of a study room at home and the presence of a computer at home variables were not statistically significant on motivation levels. Furthermore, it was concluded that internet usage status, science course success score, participation in a scientific activity, type of teaching material, usage frequency of technological applications, liking science teacher, reading books about science and watching science-related publications variables were statistically significant on motivation level. Furthermore, it was determined that as the age level of secondary school students increases, the motivation level towards science learning decreases significantly.
