INTRODUCTION. The introduction is written in Arial Narrow Font 10, spaced 1.15, consisting of 4-7 paragraphs, background of the problem and issues related to the problem under study, a review of previous research conducted by other researchers that are relevant to the research being conducted, a statement regarding the research gate or gap with previous research to lead to a statement of the novelty of the research. At the end of the paragraph the author conveys the hypothesis or research objectives.

METHODS. The research method is discussed clearly and in detail consisting of: type of research and approach used, place and time of research, population and sample and sampling method, research stages, instruments used and data processing/analysis.

RESULTS. The results of this study describe the overall information obtained during the research process which can be organized based on the variables/research objectives coupled with information that the researcher finds during the research. The results of the study contain the results of interview quotes (qualitative research)/narrative content of tables/graphics/pictures of research results accompanied by table or figure numbers as information. The maximum number of tables and / or figures is 5 pieces, all of which are placed on the final sheet of the article.
