This study examines the level and factors influencing students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English at SMKN 1 Bukittinggi, specifically among 11th-grade students who struggled to meet academic standards and showed low interest in independent learning. An explanatory sequential mixed-method approach was employed, using questionnaires and interviews. The instruments were tested for construct validity and test-retest reliability. Results showed that the majority of students had moderate intrinsic motivation, with 12% displaying high motivation, 79% moderate, and 9% low. Key factors identified were strong character traits such as integrity and responsibility, self-awareness, mental resilience, and effective coping strategies for overcoming failures. These findings suggest that students’ intrinsic motivation is influenced by personal qualities and their ability to handle challenges, which play a crucial role in their engagement and persistence in learning English as a foreign language.

The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in healthcare institutions aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of medical data. RSUD Weda, a regional hospital in Indonesia, has adopted an EMR system in its outpatient services to replace conventional manual processes. However, this transition has faced several challenges, including inadequate training, unstable network infrastructure, and inconsistent adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This study aims to evaluate the performance of the EMR implementation using a qualitative descriptive method based on the 5M framework—Man, Material, Machine, Method, and Money. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and document analysis involving stakeholders such as medical staff, administrators, and IT personnel. The findings indicate that while users acknowledge improvements in data accuracy and accessibility, key issues remain, particularly in training quality, infrastructure readiness, and system reliability. The study also observed gradual improvements in SOP compliance and reduced system failures over time. These results suggest that successful EMR adoption requires a balance of technical infrastructure, human resource readiness, financial support, and continuous system monitoring. The use of the 5M framework proved effective in identifying multidimensional challenges and offering holistic insights into the implementation process. This study contributes to the broader literature on EMR evaluation by providing contextualized evidence from a district-level hospital and offers practical recommendations for enhancing EMR system performance in similar healthcare settings.
