Abstract

Background: Learning motivation is one of the internal psychological factors that influence student academic achievement. The strength and consistency of this relationship remain under debate. However, it encourages the importance of research to determine the role of motivation in academic achievement.Aims: This study aims to determine the relationship between learning motivation and MCQ block exam results in undergraduate medical students.Methods: This research is an observational analytic quantitative study with a cross sectional approach. The study population was second to fourth year preclinical students. Sampling with proportionate stratified random sampling obtained 196 students. Learning motivation was assessed using a validated instrument, the MSLQ, and academic performance was measured by the students’ latest block MCQ examination score. Spearman correlation tests were performed on the relationship. Results: The highest average learning motivation is found in the extrinsic dimension (94.9%), followed by the dimensions of task values and learning of belief (94.4%), intrinsic dimensions (84.7%), and self-efficacy (84.2%). Highly motivated students scored lower (66.9%) than moderately motivated students who scored lower (76.2%). However, the analytic revealed no statistically significant correlation between learning motivation and academic performance (p>0,05). Conclusion: Even though there were high importance of motivation in learning, this study found no significant correlation between learning motivation and academic performance.

Abstract

Background: Irrational use of antibiotics can increase the resistance, so it is necessary to find alternative solutions by using herbals that have antibacterial activity, such as garlic which contains allicin, alliin, and sulfide derivatives, and red ginger which contains gingerol, flavonoids, and phenols. For traditional use, garlic and red ginger need to be extracted with aqueous solvents. Objective: Proving the antibacterial activity of the combination of garlic extract (Allium sativum) and red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) with aqueous solvents against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Each garlic extract and red ginger extract were made by the kinetic maceration with aqueous solvents, then mixed in a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. Results: The combination of garlic and red ginger extracts has strong antibacterial activity to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The average diameter of the inhibition zone at a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 was 30.40 mm, 24.51 mm, and 37.67 mm, respectively. The ANOVA test showed a P value of 0.000. Conclusion: The combination of garlic extract (Allium sativum) and red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum) with aqueous solvent has strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with the strongest combination at a ratio of 2:1.
