    ABSTRACT

    The abstract should include background context, research objectives, methodology, main findings, and key implications. It should be written as a single paragraph, clearly and concisely, without citations, tables, or figures. The abstract is written in the form of one paragraph; the length of the abstract is between 150-250 words. (TNR font, Font Size 10, spaced 1, justified).

    KEYWORDS

    Keywords consist of 3–5 terms that represent the core concepts of the study and should be separated by semicolons.

    A. INTRODUCTION (Bold, GEORGIA 12 pt, 1 spacing)

    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). This section presents the research background and context, identifies the research gap based on relevant literature, and clearly states the objectives and contribution of the study. The introduction should demonstrate the significance of the research and position within current scholarly discussions in the field of education. The introduction also must clearly articulate the research gap and explicitly state the academic and practical contributions of the study.

    B. METHOD (Bold, GEORGIA 12 pt, 1 spacing)

    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). This section describes the research design, participants or data sources, instruments, procedures, and data analysis techniques used in the study. The description should be sufficiently detailed to allow the study to be replicated and to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings. For studies involving human participants, ethical considerations such as informed consent and confidentiality should be clearly addressed.
    Conceptual papers or traditional library research without a systematic or structured review procedure are not prioritized. Literature-based studies must employ a clear and reproducible approach, such as a systematic literature review (SLR), scoping review, or other recognized review methodologies.

    C. RESULT AND DISCUSSION (Bold, GEORGIA 12 pt, 1 spacing)

    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). The Results and Discussion sections present the study’s findings and interpret their significance in relation to existing literature. While the Results report data objectively, the Discussion explains their meaning and contribution to the field. Authors should maintain consistency between the two sections, avoiding interpretation in the Results and the introduction of new data in the Discussion.

    Results
    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). This section presents the research findings objectively and systematically, supported by tables or figures where appropriate. 

    Tables must be cited in the text prior to their appearance (e.g., “As shown in Table 1…”). If a table is adapted from another source, proper acknowledgment must be provided in accordance with APA Style, 7th Edition.

    Discussion

    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). This section interprets the findings in relation to the research questions and relevant literature, highlighting their significance and implications.

    (Times New Roman, 12-point font, first-line indent 1.25 cm, 1.5 line spacing, justified alignment). This section summarizes the main findings of the study and highlights their contributions to the field of education. The conclusion may also present implications, recommendations for future research, and practical considerations, without introducing new data or extensive discussion.
