The font size in Abstract is Garamond 11 pt and space is 1 pt. Keywords: must be specific words and must not be more than 5 words.

INTRODUCTION (12 pt; space 1,5)

The introduction must contain the following elements. (1) State of the Art. (2) Gap analysis. (3) The purpose of the study.

Fonts in the Garamond introduction, font size 12 pt, and spaces 1.5 pt.

RESEARCH METHOD (12 pt; space 1.5)

The method is made more detailed, mainly on the instruments used for collecting research data to the analysis. The method must be described in paragraph form (not points or subtitles). The method contains a description of (1) types of research, (2) research designs (specifically quasi-experimental research) or laboratory experiments), (3) the time and place of research, (4) population and sample, (5) techniques for collecting data and instruments used (more detail is strongly recommended), and research data analysis techniques. One paragraph must consist of at least 5 sentences and a maximum of 7 to 10 sentences. Fonts in Garamond's research method, font size 12 pt, and spaces 1.5 pt.

RESEARCH RESULTS (12 pt; space 1.5)

Conclusions must be conceptually formulated and oriented to the explanation of specific research findings and strengthened by the data of the research results. One paragraph must consist of at least 5 sentences and a maximum of 7 to 10 sentences. Fonts on Garamond’s conclusions and suggestions, 12 pt letter size, and 1.5 pt space.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (IF ANY) (12 pt; space 1.15)
