Abstract
The abstract should be written in a one-space paragraph, containing 250-300 words, and
written in Times New Roman Italic 10 pt. The abstract should be written in English. The
abstract should include the study aims, methods (participant characteristics, population,
sample, sampling methods, data collection, and data analysis), findings, and conclusions. If
necessary, a recommendation can be given at the end of paragraph. Following the abstract,
provide two to five keywords separated with comma (,). Choose keywords carefully that
enable search engine to locate your article. The keywords should be wwritten in alphabetical
order.

Keywords: lights, word recollection, mathematical concepts

RGB Lights and Word Recollection on Mathematical Concept among College Students

In the introduction section, the author must write the objective of the study at the end of
the section. Prior to writing the study’s objective, the author must write the background of the
study and review of previous literature (state of the art) as the baseline for “gap analysis,” and for
statements such as the novelty of the study, and hypothesis and/or research questions (if any).
The introduction is not more than 30% of the total article page.
In the introduction part, it is not allowed for a literature review to exist in a separated sub-
part. Write it down integrated with the background explanation of the study so that the literature
review could show the “state of the art” or the novelty of the study.
Introduction to bibliography is written in Times New Roman 12 and 1.15 spaces. The
paragraph alignment should be Justify with a page setup of 8.5” x 11” paper size, top margin 2.7
cm, bottom 2.7 cm, left and right 2.7 cm, and presented with 1 column layout. The length of each
draft should be consisting of 5000-12,000 words outside of titles, abstracts, and bibliography.
Each section does not need to be given a subtitle, but only marked with a paragraph shift.

Statement of the Problem

The contains the general objective of the study….
The statement of the problem aims to identify the following:
1. Question (a) ……
1.1 a
1.2 b
1.3 c
2. Question 2 ………
3. Question 3 ………

Hypothesis of the Study

1. Null hypothesis (a)
2. Null Hypothesis (b)

Methodology
The method part contains the explanation of the type or the design of the study. This part
explains the number of subjects and their characteristics accompanied by demographic data
(Azwar, 2007). In quantitative research, if the study employs specific measurement tools, it is
needed to be conveyed the name, number of items, reliability coefficient, and analytical method
used. In qualitative research, the qualitative perspective needs to be explained, up to the data
collection and the analysis method (Willig, 2008).

Research Design
Before designing a quantitative research study, you must decide whether it will be
descriptive or experimental because this will dictate how you gather, analyze, and interpret
the results. A descriptive study is governed by the following rules: subjects are generally
measured once; the intention is to only establish associations between variables; and, the
study may include a sample population of hundreds or thousands of subjects to ensure that
a valid estimate of a generalized relationship between variables has been obtained. An
experimental design includes subjects measured before and after a particular treatment, the
sample population may be very small and purposefully chosen, and it is intended to
establish causality between variables.

Participants
Write the characteristics of the targeted population in the research setting and why this
particular population is best suited for studying the research problem. It may include gender, age,
ethnicity, socio-economic aspects, demography, etc. State clearly the sampling method and
procedure that is used to select or identify participants.

Materials and Procedure

Write which methods you have used to collect data from the participants and describe it
for the readers to understand why you have used it for your study and not others. Structured and
unstructured interviews and questionnaires are common methods. Quantitative research is
objective and pre-determined and hence, structured interviews are used while qualitative research
is subjective and flexible and hence, unstructured interviews are used. Unstructured methods will
help to capture experiences, opinions, and perspectives and will provide thick descriptions. You
may use multiple methods to support or complement your data. In case of mixed methods
research, you may use multiple methods at various levels. If possible, describe the entry to the
field, data collection process, and the challenges faced during data collection.

Data Collection

Describe the tools and methods used to collect information and identify the
variables being measured; describe the methods used to obtain the data; and, note if the
data was pre-existing [i.e., government data] or you gathered it yourself. If you gathered it
yourself, describe what type of instrument you used and why. Note that no data set is
perfect--describe any limitations in methods of gathering data.

Data Analysis
Describe the procedures for processing and analyzing the data. If appropriate, describe
the specific instruments of analysis used to study each research objective, including
mathematical techniques and the type of computer software used to manipulate the data.
 LIGHTS AND WORD RECOLLECTION …6

Result and Discussion

The result and discussion part contain the data results of the study and the scientific
discussion. Write the scientific findings obtained from the study’s result, which has been done
and support the findings with adequate data. The scientific findings mentioned here is not the
data itself. Scientific findings mean that the data is explained scientifically, including what are
the scientific findings obtained? Why could those findings happen? Why the variable trend act
like that? All those questions must be explained scientifically, not only descriptive but also
supported by adequate empirical data. Moreover, the scientific findings need to be compared to
other results from other authors, which has a similar topic. The research results and findings
must answer the hypothesis and/or research question in the introduction part.
Tables and Graphs/pictures are placed within the text after that table or graphs cited.
Every graph/picture should be followed by an Arabic number according to its order and the title
of the graph on the bottom side. Every table should have a title and an order of Arabic number
on top of each table.
Pictures must be in high quality to make sure it will still hold the clarity when printed.
Font size, resolution, and line size need to take into consideration, ensuring a high-quality
picture. Pictures, tables, and diagrams are better to put on within the text column, or if it’s too
big, it can be placed central to the page. Tables should not contain vertical lines, but horizontal
lines are permitted for necessary separation only.

Correlation Between Variables
Family Support Aspects Stress at Work
r p
Emotional support 0.167 ………….
Recognition/appreciation support 0.255 .…………
Advice support 0.285 …………..
Instrumental support ………. ….……….

Note: Write down the p-value (not only p < .05 or p < .001), except if the results showed p =
.000 then write it as p < .001; if the result showed p = 1.000 then write it as p > .99. To make the
recognition of significance easier, the symbol ** can be implemented for p < .001 and * for p <
.05.
Images, diagrams, or schemes must be guaranteed to be printed clearly (font size,
resolution, and line size must be sure they are printed clearly). Images, diagrams, or schemes
should be placed in the column between groups of text or if they are too large, they should be
placed in the middle of the page. Each image, diagram, or scheme must be given the title of the
image, diagram, or scheme and numbered in Arabic numerals at the top left of the figure,
diagram, or scheme followed by the title of the image, diagram, or schematic.

Conclusion
The summary part is built with only one paragraph that describes and represents the
answer for hypothesis and/or the objective of the study, also for the obtained research findings.
The summary is not meant to repeat the result and discussion section, but it sums up the result
and findings of the study as it was expected from the study objective.
If necessary, in the last part of the summary, the author may write down his/her future
studies regarding the result of this study.

Recommendations
This part contains the future improvements and plans of your research findings.
