Introduction
The study is the activity of looking back. Means to conduct experiments by collecting data through observation first, then do the research so you can find or interpret the facts, theories, arguments that have been received. A researcher can’t be arbitrary conduct research. The study has several steps or procedures established.
Content
In conducting the study, the steps that must be done to be prepared. The first step if you want to do research is to find theories or references first. Then collect data or facts to be investigated. This is called a scientific publication.
Then the second step is to conduct observations. A researcher must approach in order to get to know what will be studied. Observations can be done by performing a series of activities, jot down things related to what will be studied, and others.
After making the observation, a researcher and then make a proposal that will be given to the party to be examined. The contents of the proposal in general is the title of the proposal, subtitle, problem formulation, theoritical review, methodology, data analysis, discussion, conclusion, and references.
After the proposal received a researcher then conducted case studies and study plans. Then develop an instrument that is to make a reference, create a concept map, choose the criteria of the instrument to be created, and developed the instrument.
After that, a researcher make teaching learning process. This includes the activities of teachers and students. Action eg teachers, student reflection, preparing teaching materials. After teaching learning process is done, a researcher can then analyze the data. From analysis of these data a researcher can make statements that can be published.
A researcher can publish it to the MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association). MLA style has been Widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and Instructors for over half a century. The association's guidelines are also used by over 1.100 scholarly and literary journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses. The MLA's guidelines are Followed throughout North America and in Brazil, China, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries around the world.
American Psychological Association (APA) Style is a set of rules when submitting That authors use papers for publications in APA journals. The APA states That They were developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences, for clarity of communication, and to "move the idea forward with a minimum of distraction and a maximum of precision. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association contains guidelines for every aspect of writing, especially in the social sciences, from determining authorship to constructing a table to avoiding plagiarism and constructing accurate reference citations.
Conclusion
In conducting the study, a researcher must conduct activities in accordance with the rules. A researcher must prepare scientific publication, make observations, make a proposal, the observer scheme, developing instruments, doing teaching-learning process, and analyze data that has been obtained. The results of the study may be published in the MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association).
