Introduction
This section should explain the urgency of the problem under investigation, describe the gaps or shortcomings in previous research, and present the novelty of this research. To support the argument, the author must provide sufficient references, both to previous research and to theories relevant to the research topic. The references used must be from journals, books, or academic publications that can be cited. In addition, the research objectives must be clearly and systematically explained so that the reader can understand the focus of the research and its contribution to the development of scholarship in the field under study. Appropriate citations can help to reinforce the urgency of the research and provide a clearer context for the issues discussed.
Research Methods
In this section, the author should explain in detail the type and design of research used and the reasons for choosing this type of research. The research design used must be clearly explained, e.g., experimental, descriptive, correlational, case study, or others, with the reasons for its selection. The author must also explain the subjects or respondents involved in the research, including their characteristics. This explanation is important to understand who the data sources are and how they were selected. Data collection techniques should also be explained in detail, whether they are interviews, observations, questionnaires, tests, or documentation, and the reasons for choosing these techniques in the context of the research. Finally, the author must explain the data analysis techniques used to process the data collected, whether statistical analysis, thematic analysis, or other techniques appropriate to the type of research. The description of this method must be clear and well-structured so that the reader can understand the research process and assess the validity of the results obtained.
Results and Discussion
The format of the research results and discussion is not separated.
This section presents the results of the research in accordance with the stated research objectives. The results should be presented clearly, using tables, graphs, or diagrams where appropriate. If the research is R&D, it is necessary to show images of the final product, especially the content related to the research title. The discussion interprets the results by comparing the research findings with previous research or relevant theories. The author should explain the implications of the findings for theory and practice and mention any limitations of the study, such as the sample or methodology used. Finally, make recommendations for future research based on the findings and limitations.
Conclusion
The conclusion section should clearly and concisely summarise the essence of the research. Firstly, the research aims should be restated in one concise sentence. Second, the main findings or results of the study should be presented briefly and concisely, reflecting the contribution of the study to the problem under study. Thirdly, the limitations of the study, such as limitations of the sample, methodology, or variables that may have affected the results of the study. Finally, this section should provide recommendations for future research, either in terms of theory development, methodology, or other aspects that need to be considered for further research. The conclusion should provide a clear picture of the contribution and direction of future research.
