INTRODUCTION (Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt Spacing: 1.15 Min 1000 words)
The Introduction in a scientific article must be structured systematically and comprehensively, encompassing several main components, namely the background of the problem, which explains the urgency and context of the research, followed by a review of previous studies (state of the art) to demonstrate the research’s position within the current scientific developments. Next, the author needs to identify the research gap that has not been addressed by previous studies as an important basis for conducting this research. This section should also emphasize the novelty of the study, thereby providing a clear scientific contribution. At the end of the introduction, the research objectives should be presented specifically and in a targeted manner. All explanations in the introduction should be supported by up-to-date references, especially from scientific journals within the last seven years, to strengthen the theoretical foundation and relevance of the research.
RESEARCH METHOD (Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt, Line Spacing: 1.15, Minimum 500 words)
The research method section must be prepared in a detailed and systematic manner so that the study can be replicated by other researchers, including the research design (e.g., experiment, Classroom Action Research, or others), the subjects or research participants, as well as the research instruments used along with information regarding their validity and reliability. In addition, the research procedures should be explained clearly and in a structured way, as well as the data analysis techniques employed, including the types of statistical tests applied. If necessary, the explanations in the method section can be divided into several sub-sections to enhance clarity and readability.
RESULTS (Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt, Line Spacing: 1.15, Minimum 800 words)
The results section must present the findings in an objective and systematic manner without excessive interpretation, displaying the data in clear tables or graphs that are sequentially numbered. The presentation of results should focus directly on the main research findings so that they are easily understood by the readers. Example formats for writing can be shown as follows:
