    • Copy, paste, and edit examples of Equation (1) in templates (very are suggested).
    • Manually enter the equation, via the MathType
    • Edit the number of equations.
    • Before you manually enter the equation or edit the number of equations please install the MathType.
  • Methods: it discusses the research design, data collection, data sources such as the population and sample, and data analysis. It is written with sentences in paragraphs, not in sequences using points.
  • Results: it contains the data and information that has been collected. The finding systematically must be supported by charts, tables, figures or informative illustrations.

  • Conclusion: it should clearly state the result of correlated objective (and may also possible with future direction).
  • Reference cited according to APA System numbered in accordance with the order of references in the research and in accordance with the author's name and year of publication.
