Abstract

The abstract is written concisely in English. The abstract includes background, research objectives, research methods, research results and conclusions. Abstract written in 1 alenia, single spaced, using the font Times New Roman 11 pt, 100-200 words.

INTRODUCTION

The introduction contains background and must explain the latest issues that lead to the importance of the research conducted. References (relevant literature or research) also need to be included in this section, their relationship to the justification of research urgency, the emergence of research problems, alternative solutions, and the chosen solution.

Problems, research objectives, and references are written narratively in paragraphs, do not need to be given special subtitles. (TNR-12, space: 1.5).

RESEARCH METHODS

Contains the type of research, the time and place of research, targets / targets, research subjects, procedures, instruments and data analysis techniques as well as other matters related to the way of research.

Methods and statistical analysis must be explained in detail in this section so that it is possible for other researchers to develop similar research.

Subtitles do not need to be notated, but are written in lowercase letters with capital letters, Times New Roman bold, and left aligned.

Types of research

This type of research is related to the type of research used, described in accordance with the theory used by several experts (TNR-12, space: 1.5)

Time and Place of Research

Especially for qualitative research, the time and place of research need to be written clearly (for quantitative research, it is also necessary).

Research Targets / Subjects

Research targets / subjects (for qualitative research) or population-samples (for quantitative research) need to be clearly outlined in this section.

It is also necessary to write down the technique of obtaining the subject (qualitative research) and or the sampling technique (quantitative research).

Research procedure

Procedures need to be spelled out according to the type of research. How the research is carried out and the data will be obtained, needs to be described in this section.

For experimental research, the type of design (experimental design) used should be written in this section.

Data, Instruments and Data Collection Techniques

The types of data, how data is collected, with the instruments by which data are collected, and how the technical collection is, need to be clearly described in this section

Data analysis technique

How to interpret the data obtained, its relation to the problem and research objectives, needs to be clearly stated.

(Note: Sub-sections may differ according to the type or approach of research used. If there are procedures or steps that are sequential in nature, they can be given a notation (numbers or letters) according to their position).

RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results

The results of the study are presented in the form of graphs, tables, or descriptive. Analysis and interpretation of these results is needed before being discussed. The table is written in the middle or at the end of each study description text. Table title is written from the left, all words start with uppercase letters, except conjunctions. If more than one line is written in a single space (at least 12).
The results in the form of pictures, or data created by drawings / schemes / graphs / diagrams / the like, are also followed by the present regulation; the title or name of the image is placed below the image, from the left, and is given a space of 1 space (at least 12) from the image. If more than 1 line, between lines are given a single space, or at least 12.


Discussion

The discussion is focused on linking the data and results of the analysis with the problem or research objective and the broader theoretical context. It can also be an answer to the question why the facts of the data were found. The discussion is written attached to the data discussed. The discussion is made not separate from the data discussed.

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

Conclusion

Conclusions can be generalized findings according to research problems, can also be in the form of recommendations for the next step.

Implication

Suggestions can be input for subsequent researchers, can also be implicative recommendations from research findings.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (If Any)
