I. INTRODUCTION
A. Research Background
Research background contains reasons for doing research. Research background can be derived by the phenomenon on the field of study applied research and
based on research gap fundamental research. To reinforce the reasons for conducted research, the research background must be supported by adequate data.
It has to be ended by the affirmation of topics will be studied instead of the title of the study.
B. The Formulation of Research Problems
Problem formulation is the essence of the problem that will be solved by the study that will be conducted. The research problems are written in statement sentences
or interrogative sentence.
C. The Limitation of Research Problems
Research problem limitation limits the scope of the study so the research can be done precisely and focused.
D. Research Objectives
Research objectives contains the objectives goals that expected to be achieved through the study, such as; comparing the methods, evaluating a program system
method, and prove a theory.
E. Contribution of Research
Research contribution reaffirms what has been described in the research background. This part consists of theoretical contribution and applied
contribution. Theoretical contribution is the contribution for scientific development and the applied contribution is the contribution used to problem
solving of the research object.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW AND THE FORMULATION OF RESEARCH MODELS
A. Literature Review
This part elaborates the theories used as the basis of the study which is obtained from scientific literatures textbooks, scientific journals, documents, Internet, and
other sources that can be justified scientifically.
B. The Formulation of Research Model
The formulation of research model contains theories and the results of previous studies which are relevant as a basis for formulating hypotheses. If the research is
a comparative study, the formulation of the research model contains a comparison

between variables based on the theory or the results of previous studies. If the research is correlational and causal, the formulation contains correlation or causal
relationship between variables. If the research doesn’t use hypotheses, this part
only contains a review of the relevant theory to explain the problems to be solved through research.
III. RESEARCH METHOD AND DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE
A. Research Method
This part explains the approach to the instrument used. Research method includes the type of research, location of the study, the execution time of the study, the
object of study, population and sample if the research uses samples, data sources, data collection techniques, the conceptual and operational definition of
variables, and the research instrument used.
B. Data Analysis Technique
This part contains the steps in performing data analysis, both qualitative and quantitative, to test the hypotheses if the research uses hypotheses.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. General Description of the Study
This part contains a general description of the location of research conducted and the characteristics of the respondent if research uses survey.
B. Data Analysis and Discussion
Data analysis shows the results of the analysis to answer the research question proposed. The discussion provides a comparison of research results with the
theory and the results of previous research and discusses the differences or similarities occur that lead to the conclusion.
V. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
A. Conclusions
The conclusions should be a brief statement and accurately presented the results of the discussion, it contains the meaning that can be drawn from the research.
Conclusions should be the answer to the research problem and objectives.
B. Implications
Implications written based on the research conclusions, it consists of practical
implications that contains practical action to make improvements, and theoretical implications that contains the limitations encountered in the implementation of

research, experience and consideration of writers that are intended for researchers or others in similar fields who want to do further research.
C. The Final Part
