INTRODUCTION,(Contantia, size 12 pt).

Paragraph. General issue/case that contains problem research (dissertation or references from various articles). 1 paragraph

Paragraph. Specific issues/cases in accordance with the issues researched. Present the argumentation of the problem studied (research problem) from the issue / phenomenon that occurred, telling the phenomenon or case under study, social facts and what is crucial from the facts studied, which are supported by qualitative and quantitative data, the problem in writing the article is obtained by photographing the gap between das sein and das sollen. (accompanied by references from various articles).

Paragraph. Explaining the reasons why this study issue is important to be researched / written, this paragraph is to see the extent of its urgency and its implications and contributions. 1-2 paragraphs

Paragraph. Review of relevant literature/research that compares this article with the results of other similar studies, then explains the similarities and differences (show the position of novelty). 1 paragraph

Paragraph. Research questions or study objectives that will be answered in this article. 1 paragraph

Introduction is sufficient (Written in 5-6 paragraphs, Cambria, size 12 pt)

METHODS, (Contantia, size 12 pt), in describing research methods, the author is not allowed to use sub-chapters, but must be clearly narrated with paragraphs (the number of paragraphs is adjusted to the needs). The description of the method must be implementative, in accordance with what the researcher does in the field. The content component of the research method consists of research approach; subject and research location (if the article is the result of field research); primary and secondary data sources; data collection techniques; data validity checking (if the article is the result of field research); data analysis techniques.

Methods, types, approaches used, data sources and data analysis techniques, the content does not explain what the definition is. So that the description of the method is not a description of the notions of research method experts. The research does not explain what interviews, observations and documentation are, but explains how to obtain data (who is interviewed, why the person is the subject of research/interviewed; what is observed, how the observation process is carried out, why it needs to be observed; what documents are sought, how to get them and why they are important). What we have done to make this work a reality must be stated. Academic honesty: there were 2 informants but 1 could not be interviewed, refused to be interviewed and so on.

How the analysis was done (of course related to the theory used/written in the introduction). 2-3 paragraphs

RESEARCH RESULTS, (Contantia, size 12 pt), in the form of data from the field obtained from research, this is descriptive data. This is very necessary as a result of consideration between the results of research findings in the field with theories related to the discussion of research. The findings are presented as a summary of the data but carefully, not the detailed data, can use tables, graphs, then explained with narrative words. Why is it not in line, why is it in line, why is the practice like that, mention the source of the interview. Research findings/results consist of descriptive statistics, assumption test results, and hypothesis test results (if any and quantitative) or interview and observation data or other qualitative data (if qualitative) or literature review/critical review data, then critically analysed, and presented sequentially or integrated. The presentation of the results section contains the results of data analysis.

he results of this study are flexible, meaning that in one sub-chapter the results of this study can contain several research results if there are indeed many things to be revealed. If there are tables/charts/pictures/photos, they contain exposure to the results of analyses that are already meaningful and easy to understand their meaning quickly. Tables/charts/pictures/photos do not contain raw data that can or should still be processed.

DISCUSSION (Contantia, size 12 pt), discussion or analysis, namely the author focuses directly on answering the formulation of the problem or research objectives written in the background of the problem (introduction), which is written systematically, analysed using relevant theoretical studies that are strengthened by relevant previous research studies. The discussion here contains more details of problematic findings identified by the author related to the study being researched or written. In writing the discussion or analysis, it is preferable to use reference sources from scientific journals.

Related to tables or photos, it is written in the middle or at the end of each text description of research results/objectives. The discussion is written attached to the data discussed. The discussion of table contents should not be separated from the data discussed. The title of the table is written centre aligned, all words begin with uppercase letters, except conjunctions. If more than one line is written in single space.
