Indonesian Pharmacy Students' Motivations for Learning English: A Qualitative Case Study
Abstrak
Walaupun telah banyak penelitian yang membahas motivasi belajar, namun masih sedikit yang meneliti tentang motivasi mahasiswa farmasi dalam belajar bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, mayoritas penelitian sebelumnya mengenai motivasi menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Untuk menanggapi kesenjangan ini, penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus deskriptif untuk meneliti motivasi mahasiswa farmasi di salah satu perguruan tinggi di Indonesia. Untuk pengumpulan data, studi ini menggunakan wawancara mendalam. Dari analisis tematik, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motif mahasiswa farmasi belajar bahasa Inggris yaitu untuk tujuan akademis, budaya, profesi, interaksi global, dan kegemaran. Hasil ini menandakan bahwa kedua aspek motivasi baik integratif maupun instrumental ada pada temuan penelitian ini. Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian ini akan memberikan implikasi terhadap pemahaman motivasi mahasiswa farmasi dalam belajar bahasa Inggris yang dapat bermanfaat untuk referensi yang digunakan baik oleh mahasiswa, dosen, maupun pembuat kurikulum.
