B. Manuscript Structure

The manuscript should be organized using the following structure:

1. Title

The title should be written in sentence case, clearly describing the content of the paper. Acronyms, abbreviations, and case-study titles should be avoided.

2. Abstract

The abstract must be written in English, presented in one paragraph with a length of 150–200 words. The abstract should include the primary research objective, research design and methodology, main findings and outcomes, and conclusions. Citations are not permitted in the abstract.

3. Introduction

The introduction should describe the research background, the urgency of the problem, and its relevance to the field of education. Authors must clearly explain the research gap and highlight the novelty of the study compared to existing research. The research objectives must be explicitly stated.

The introduction should be concise, written in a straightforward manner, and not exceed two pages. Tables and figures should not be included in this section. A review of relevant literature and hypothesis development (if applicable) may be incorporated. All citations must follow the author–year format and be managed using reference management software to ensure accuracy.

4. Method

This section applies to both empirical research articles and conceptual or study-based articles. For empirical research, the method should describe the research design, data collection techniques, number of participants or respondents, and data analysis procedures.

For non-empirical or study-based articles, the method may include the conceptual framework, flow of thought, data or information gathering procedures, analytical techniques (if applicable), and criteria or reference standards used for analysis. Formulas or equations should be accompanied by appropriate references.

5. Results and Discussion

The results and discussion must be presented as one integrated section and should not be separated into different chapters or subchapters.

This section should address:

  • What? Presentation of the research findings (not raw data).
  • Why? Scientific interpretation supported by relevant theories and concepts.
  • What else? Comparison with previous studies and discussion of theoretical and practical implications.

Only the final results of data analysis and hypothesis testing should be reported. Detailed statistical calculations or analysis procedures should not be included. Tables, figures, and graphs may be used to support the presentation of results. Each table or figure must be introduced narratively before being displayed and followed by discussion.

6. Conclusion

The conclusion should be written briefly and clearly in one paragraph, summarizing the main findings and directly addressing the research objectives. Emphasis should be placed on the novelty of the study. Suggestions for practical application or future research may be included briefly.

7. Acknowledgment

This section provides recognition to individuals or institutions that contributed to the research, including financial support, permissions, consultancy, or assistance in data collection.

8. References

References must appear at the end of the manuscript and follow APA Style (7th Edition). Authors must ensure that all cited works appear in the reference list and vice versa. Footnotes are not permitted. References cited as in press must have been formally accepted for publication.

A minimum of 15 references is required, with at least 75% from primary sources (peer-reviewed journals) published within the last 10 years.
