INTRODUCTION

The introduction should explain the background and objectives of the research, supported by references. It should also outline arguments on the urgency and significance of the study. Authors should include the main theories used and analyze gaps in previous research to highlight the novelty of their work.

This section should describe various aspects such as research design, location and timing, population description, sampling techniques, data procedures, measurements and variables, and data analysis. It can be divided into three sub-sections:

  • Participants: This sub-section should describe the research design, location and period of the study, population description, sampling techniques, and the number of respondents involved.
  • Measurement: This part should explain the instruments used, including the operational definitions of each variable.
  • Analysis: This part should describe data collection methods and the analytical tools used for data processing. Any modeling based on the analysis tools should also be explained here.

RESULTS

The results should present and explain the research findings using tables, graphs, or images. Findings should present empirical results systematically and include a comprehensive discussion relevant to the research topic. Tables or figures should be embedded within the text using Word's built-in functions.

Table and figure captions should follow this format:

  • Table 1. Title should be brief and clear, only the first word capitalized (justify, before/after 0 pt).
  • Figure 1. Title should be brief and clear, located below the figure or graph, only the first word capitalized.

DISCUSSION

The discussion should demonstrate the relevance of the findings to the hypotheses, supported by references. Content from the "Results" section should not be repeated here. This section may also include comparisons with other relevant studies and mention any limitations of the research.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The conclusion should provide a concise response or key points of the research that can be understood by both researchers and general readers.

Recommendations should outline actions to be taken based on the research findings and may also address the study's limitations. They should preferably be presented as a numbered list.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (optional)

Acknowledgments should express gratitude to those who contributed significantly to the research (donors/sponsors, material contributors, research facilities).

REFERENCES

References should consist of at least 80% journal articles, listed alphabetically by the author's last name and year of publication. Reference management tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, or others may be used. References should follow APA 7th edition style.
