b. Methods

Provide a clear and detailed description of the research procedures, including the population, sample, instruments, materials, and analytical techniques. This section should enable replication and is typically written in past tense and passive voice, with subheadings as needed.

c. Results and Discussion

Results:
Present findings objectively, using tables and figures when appropriate. Figures should have captions below, while tables should have titles above. Use past tense.

Discussion:
Interpret findings, relate them to existing literature, highlight contributions, acknowledge limitations, and propose directions for future research.

d. Conclusion

Summarize the key outcomes of the study. Discuss how the findings support the research objectives, relate to previous work, and contribute to the broader body of knowledge.

4. References

Authors must provide at least 20 references, with a minimum of five sources published within the last ten years, unless older literature is required for foundational or historical purposes. All references must follow APA style.
