Purpose:Students joining medical studies may be motivated by many factors. However, there may also be some factors which may concern them. Although, it can be assumed that those joining medical studies would have largely been influenced positively, how the factors interact in different groups of students has not been studied adequately. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based survey in first-year medical students. Besides the demographics and intentions about their future career plans, students rated a list of positively influencing items and a list of negatively affecting items relevant to our context that influenced their decision. We performed factor analysis followed by clustering of study participants. Results: Ninety-seven students participated in the survey which comprised of 59% females with mean age of 18.6 years. The factors extracted were named as 'personal growth factor,' 'professional calling factor,' 'personal concerns factor,' and 'professional concerns factor.' Four distinct clusters of participants differing in their average ratings to each of the above factors were identified. Conclusion:This study provides information on the factors that influence students to join medical studies from an Indian context. The motivational patterns were varied in different sub-groups of students. The data obtained from this study may provide pointers to educators to plan training of students, changes in curricular structure that takes into account the expansion of medical education into specialties and beyond.

“…In order to improve the quality of education, it is deeply important to worth investigating demotivational factors which hamper the success of English language learning at non-English major students. Afrough, Rahimi & Zarafshan (2014); Kim & Kim (2015) indicate however most of SLA research has explored students' motivation, nevertheless only a few studies concern about students' demotivation and this is a new area of investigation.…”

The low score obtained by the students is one of the factors, which scale down non-English major students ‘motivation in learning English, and vise versa. This case results the students seem to be indifferent to this important lesson. Demotivation is discussed due to its negative orientation and it has direct educational implications. Thus, it seems necessary to investigate and explore demotivational factors in learning English of non-English major students in order to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. The subject of this qualitative case study was learners of information system and computer department in STMIK Bina Adinata, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A total of 51 students responded to the questionnaire which analyzing 30 items of six demotivational constructs use Guttman scale format and 6 students of the third semester in academic year 2018/ 2019 who got the lowest scores in the last semester represented in-depth interviews to dig deeper their perception about demotivational factors they perceived during learning English at college. The results show that lecturers' inappropriate teaching method, inadequate facilities, grammatically teaching material, lack of students' self-confidence, low score, little chance to practice and lack of students' awareness were the most demotivating factors for non-English major students. This information then can be used as a basic goal setting, method, strategy, and relevant learning materials with the needs of graduates. However, the lecturer is the most important key who can restore students' motivation in English language learning.

The purpose of this research is to find design variables effective on education integration with physical spaces of nursing homes in association with life expectancy of older people. Delphi technique was used to obtain the design variables by which the education integration with physical spaces of nursing homes can be achieved. Subsequently, in order to investigate the modifying effect of education integrated physical space on life expectancy of the elderly, questionnaires were sent to 50 local researchers and experts in the field of ageing. Results showed a significant and positive correlation between education integrated physical space and life expectancy indicators (p < .05). The results suggest that as per expert opinions, designing a physical space integrated with education could increase the life expectancy of older people.
