The introduction contains the background, rationale, and/or urgency of the research, its relationship to the emergence of the research problem, a review of previous research or alternative solutions, and the solution chosen.... ( [1], 2017, p.6). The problems and objectives as well as the usefulness of the research are written narratively in paragraphs without special subtitles, and operational definitions, if needed, are also written narratively. Written with TNR-11 upright, with one space, each paragraph begins with a word indented 5-6 digits or about 1.2 cm from the left edge of each column.

Method: This section contains the type of research, time and place of the research, research targets or goals, research subjects, research procedures, instruments and data analysis techniques, as well as other components related to the research method. It may be organized into sub-subsections with sub-headings and subtitles, which should be written in lowercase letters with an initial capital letter, using Times New Roman 11 pt bold font, and aligned to the left.

The type of research is described by stating the approach used, such as qualitative or quantitative. The time and place of the research must also be clearly stated to provide contextual background. Furthermore, the section on research targets or subjects explains in detail who or what is being studied, including the method for selecting research subjects in qualitative research or the sampling techniques used in quantitative research.

The research procedure should be described according to the type of research conducted. For instance, in experimental studies, the procedure should include how data is to be obtained and the specific experimental design employed. The data, instruments, and techniques for data collection must be elaborated in a clear and structured manner, outlining the type of data gathered, the tools or instruments used, and the technical process of collecting data.

Lastly, the data analysis techniques explain how the collected data is interpreted in relation to the research problem and objectives. This section must provide clarity on the methods used to analyze the data, and the structure of the sub-subsections may vary depending on the research type or approach adopted.

Findings and Discussion: Title of findings and Discussion is written using capital letters [font Times New Roman 11 Pt, and bold]. This section contains the results containing research findings that must answer the questions as stated in the research objectives in the introduction. This section is presented systematically in the order in which the research questions were asked. If your research method is qualitative, the findings describe a description of the data obtained from the data analysis. If your research method is quantitative, then the findings reflect the results of statistical analysis. The research discussion is part of the analysis of the research findings. and compare the research results with the model or theory on which you have proposed. The research findings should be critically analyzed by the authors (not just a description of the data), and it is imperative to propose solutions. [Times New Roman, 11 pt, 1 Space, Normal]

Conclusions:  Title of Conclusion is written using capital letters [font Times New Roman 11 Pt, and bold]. must contain answers to research problems, which are based on research findings, theoretical significance/conceptual construction. Conclusions are not summaries, nor descriptions. [Times New Roman, 11 pt, 1 Space, Normal]

References: title of References is written using capital letters [font Times New Roman 12 Pt, and bold]. Sources referred to in the text of the article must be listed in the reference list and vice versa.
