This study analyzes the impact of learning motivation levels on student attendance discipline at the Saint Ignasius Catholic Vocational School in Wairterang. The background of the problem highlights the low level of student attendance, which is caused by the lack of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the vocational education environment. This phenomenon impacts the effectiveness of learning and overall student achievement. The purpose of the study is to identify the causal relationship between learning motivation and attendance discipline, and to measure the significant influence of motivation variables on attendance discipline. The approach used is quantitative with a Likert-scale questionnaire survey method. The study sample involved students in grades X-XII at the Saint Ignasius Catholic Vocational School in Wairterang, with data analysis using simple linear regression to test the hypothesis. The results of the study are expected to show a positive and significant influence of learning motivation on attendance discipline. Practical implications include recommended strategies for guidance and counseling (BK) teachers, such as individual counseling programs, attendance-based reward systems, and the integration of intrinsic motivation through vocational extracurricular activities. These strategies are expected to improve learning effectiveness and build students' disciplined character in vocational high schools

This study aims to examine the influence of slang language usage on the use of Indonesian language in WhatsApp communication among students of Class F, Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Padang, academic year 2025/2026. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with a correlational approach. The population and sample consisted of 35 students selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation test, and simple linear regression. The results indicate that the use of slang language is categorized as high, while the use of standard Indonesian language is categorized as moderate. The correlation analysis shows a negative relationship between slang usage and the use of Indonesian language in WhatsApp communication. These findings suggest that higher intensity of slang usage tends to reduce the use of proper Indonesian language. This study is expected to raise students’ awareness of the importance of using appropriate Indonesian language according to communication contexts, particularly in academic settings.
