Article Length

The article's length should range from 4500 to 6500 words, including references.

Article Organization

The body of the article should follow the IMRaD structure (Introduction, Method, Result, and Discussion) as outlined below:

• » Abstract

• » Introduction

• » Method

• » Result

• » Discussion

• » Conclusion

• » References

• » Acknowledgement [optional]

ABSTRACT

The abstract contains the main objectives of the study, the methods used, research findings, and conclusions. The abstract should be written in both English and Bahasa Indonesia, using Garamond font size 10 pt, with single line spacing. The left indent should be 2.5 cm, and the right indent should be 0 cm. The length of the abstract should be between 150 to 250 words. Keywords should describe the problem under study and the main terms underlying the implementation of the study. Keywords can be single words or compound words. The number of keywords should be between 3 and 5 words. These keywords are needed for easy searching of research titles and abstracts.

INTRODUCTION

The content of the introduction should include: First, an overview of the main research or study topics; second, an overview of recent literature, citing recent research (from the last ten years) relevant to the article being studied; third, identification of gaps not filled by previous studies, inconsistencies, or controversies arising in the existing literature; fourth, it should contain the problem, the research or study objective, the context of the research or study, and the unit of analysis used; and fifth, it should outline what is discussed in the article structure.

METHOD

The methods section describes the steps taken in carrying out the research or study. Therefore, it is essential to show in detail why the chosen method is reliable and valid in presenting the research findings. This section should explain the research methods used, including the procedures followed, an explanation of the tools, materials, media, or instruments used, research design, population and sample (research targets), data collection techniques, instrument development, and data analysis techniques. Method subtitles should be written in paragraphs, not as bullet points or numbering. For qualitative research such as classroom action research, case studies, etc., it is necessary to add details about the researcher’s role, research subjects, informants, data collection methods, research location, duration, and descriptions of how the research results are validated.

RESULT

The main provisions for writing research or study findings are as follows: 1) Present the research or study findings concisely, while still providing enough detail to support conclusions; 2) Use tables or figures if needed, but do not repeat the same information. Provide a narrative under each table or figure so the reader can understand what is being presented. 3) Each research or study finding should be interpreted correctly, using proper spelling. Data analysis processes, such as statistical calculations or hypothesis testing, do not need to be presented, only the results of the analysis and hypothesis testing. Tables or graphs can be used to describe the results verbally, with a narrative or comments under the tables or graphs referring to previous research published in reputable scientific journals, both nationally and internationally.

DISCUSSION

The discussion section aims to: (1) answer the research or study questions; (2) show how the findings were obtained; (3) interpret the findings; (4) link the findings to established knowledge; and (5) propose new theories or modifications to existing theories by comparing the results of previous studies published in reputable journals. In answering the research questions, the results of the study should explicitly be compared to previous research. Interpretation of findings should use empirical logic based on existing theories or previous research published in reputable journals. The findings in the field should be integrated or linked to previous studies or theories. Authors are required to refer to international journals (Scopus) and national journals (Sinta).

CONCLUSION

The conclusion should summarize the results of the study and answer the research questions. The conclusion must be aligned with the research questions and objectives. If there is more than one conclusion, they should be written using numbered paragraphs, not bullet points. The author may also add potential development prospects for the results of the study and how further research can be done.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

If necessary, the author may include acknowledgments in this section.
