  6. Results and Discussion. This section explains the results of the study. It should be presented clearly and concisely. This section links the research findings with previous research findings and relevant theories, the contribution of the work to the education literature, research limitations and implications for practice and future research.
  7. Conclusion. This section concludes and provides policy implications, if any, of the study. The conclusion(s) should be in the same order with ones discussed in the body of the manuscript.
  8. Acknowledgement (if any).
  9. References. This section lists only the papers, books, or other types of publications referred to in the body of the manuscript (note: The manuscript is expected to involve approximately 15-25 primary and up-to-date references to assert high-quality contributions to knowledge development).
