   Introduction

Contains background, rationale, and or urgency research.

The way of writing sources in the text needs to clearly indicate the name of the author and the source citation, which is the published year and the page where the script is located. As an example is:........ The results showed that more than 70% of students were not able to recognize the authentic problem..... (Anton, dkk. 2021). The introduction was written with Times New Roman 12 upright, with space 1. Each paragraph begins with a word jutting into about 1 cm from the left edge of each column. The problems and objectives, as well as the usability of the research, are written narrative in paragraphs, no need to be given special subtitles. Similarly, the operational definition, if deemed necessary, is also a written narrative. The introduction also contains State of The Art (review of previous literature or research studies) with the intention of justifying/strengthening novelty statements or scientific contributions and originality of the article. The article reference in this journal is a maximum of the last 10 years originating from the primary source to reinforce the originality justification or contribution from the title of the study. Before writing the objective of the study, there must be a GAP Analysis or statement of the gap (originality) or a statement of novelty contribution clearly and explicitly, or what is the difference/unique this research compared to previous studies, also from the important side of this research is done after the new written purpose of research in this article is straightforward and clear.   

   Methods

Contains research type, time and place of research, target/target, research subject, procedures, instruments and data analysis techniques, and other things related to the way of research. Targets/objectives, research subjects, procedures, data and instruments, and data collection techniques, as well as data analysis techniques and other matters relating to the way the research can be written without sub-subchapters. Paragraph text stuffing on methods adapted to the type of research

   Results and Discussion

The data presented is not raw data but the data has been analyzed. The presentation of the research on the table and picture needs to be given explanation/review but not discuss in detail.

Conclusion can be generalized findings according to the research problem, which can also be a recommendation for the next step. Conclusions are written in paragraph form, not in the form of list/numbering items. Suggestions can be feedback for the next researcher, can also be the implications of the research findings.

   Bibliography

The number of referral sources is used as a list of scientific literature libraries (80% of the primary references such as journals, research reports, and proceedings papers and 20% of secondary references such as books, theses, theses, dissertations, and internet sources.
