Chapter I: Introduction

Fill in the subs of the introductory of chapter Isimilar with the contents of the corresponding parts of the proposal. Example: the sub-section of 1.1 the background of the first introductory chapter is the same with part 1 of the proposal background and so on.

Chapter II Theoretical Foundation

This chapter consists of several sub-chapters with varied numbers according to the terms and scopes of the investigated areas of scientific study. The sub- section is to be stated as follows:

 

1. Definition and restrictions as well as other explanations are considered necessary in the main study areas that are investigated. For example: the field of science studies examined is on The Listening Activity that Affects Students’ Understanding in English, so the sub-chapter should present the definition and limitation of The Listening Activity, The Listening Activity functions, and so on.
2. Definition and constraints of research variables theoretically with the explanation of the variables in detail.For example: If the research that is conducted is examining on variables of work motivation and job performance, it needs to be presented in sub-chapter about the understanding of work motivation, principles of motivation, types of motivation, understanding and constraints of work performance, the factors that affect job performance, and other details about the motivation and job performance.
3. Links between the studied variables either directly or indirectly theoretically. For example: the relationship of work performance with motivation, the role of material and non- material motivation to improve employee’s motivation, theory about the motive achievement by McClelland, Herberg motivation theory, and so on.

 

Chapter III: Data Presentation

This Chapter Contains data on:

 

1. General description of the object of study.It can be presented into sub chapters which essentially provide a general description of the object under study. For example: The history and development of the research object, the organizational structure of the research object, business and activities of research objects, and so on.
2. If the research is conducted using secondary data, the secondary data must be presented intothe sub-section corresponding to the number of variables examined. For example: Research is conducted using two variables, work motivation and job performance. It means that it needs to present data on work motivation and data on work performance.
3. If the research is conducted using primary data, it is necessary to present the primary data in the form of data ready for analysis after processing.

 

Chapter IV: Data Analysis

 

In this chapter there are two possible alternatives of analysis used, the alternative qualitative alone or a quantitative analysis and a qualitative analysis that are appropriate to the methods of analysis that have been specified in the methods of analysis in Chapter I.

When the first alternative is used, the presentation is not divided into sub-sections, but the contents of the sub-sections should be presented systematically based on the theoretical foundation which has been determined with the discussion completely that leads to the achievement of the research objectives.

 

Quantitative analysis testing is done through the following steps:

1. Describing the data to be analyzed based on the needs of analysis model used.
2. Using the model in the form of calculation orderly to obtain the coefficient value.
3. Consulting the coefficient valueswith the statistical valuesfor a statistical hypothesis testing (if it is used).
4. Explaining the meaning of the coefficient values ​​and its interpretation.
5. Providing the application of the interpretation of the relationship between the variables studied (implementation of interpretation).

 

Tests of qualitative analyses are conducted through the following steps:

1. to describe the conditions of the studied variables such as tendencies and or symptoms that occur on the object of the research in accordance with the data that have been presented in chapter III
2. to express the basic reviews of the theory based on the theoretical foundation of chapter II that becomes the reference in the analysis that shows the relationship directly or indirectly between studied variables.
3. to analyze the existing variables research condition on the object that has been designed.
4. to present the discussion of the analysis results and its implementation in accordance with the research objectives.

 

Chapter V: Conclusions and Recommendations

1. a) Conclusion
2. In the sub-section of the conclusions several pointsof conclusions that are essentially to meet the research objectives are presented.
3. The conclusions should be based on the analysis result and discussion in chapter IV.
4. The materials on conclusions are clearly and concisely formulated containing conditions of the study variables on the object of the research, the relationship between the study variables (the relationship, the influence, or the role), and a discussion of the results of hypothesis testing.

 

1. Suggestions
2. In the sub-section of suggestions some pointsof suggestions as alternative implementations for the benefit of both the object of the research and for the development of science are presented.
3. The suggestion should be based on the conclusions that have been formulated in the sub-section of conclusion chapter.
4. Suggestions materialsare formulated clearly and concisely as well as operational which contains alternative solutions on the object of the research.
