INTRODUCTION ← Garamond, 12, Bold, space 1.5
Garamond, 12, space 1.5 Schemata: Jurnal Pasca Sarjana IAIN Mataram (https://journal.uinmataram.ac.id/index.php/schemata/index) is a scientific, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal which publishes scholarly articles in the mathematics education field. The articles must be 10-20 pages including bibliography and appendix (if any). In a specific case, it could be more than 20 pages, for example, the article has over 5 pages of reference. The articles published can be research articles (first priority) and library research (limited number). The scope of the published articles will be as follows.
The introduction section must contain the background (background), gaps (gap analysis), and the purpose of service. The background can be sourced from actual problems that occur in certain research objects or phenomena that occur from observations in the field. This problem has never been explored (not in depth) by previous researchers, so that it creates a gap that requires solution action through research (research). The introduction must also write a review of the previous literature (state of the art) as the basis for the statement of scientific novelty of the article written. At the end of the introduction, the purpose of carrying out the research must be written in relation to the background and literature review that has been previously described. Citation sources (references) in this journal article use footnotes.
RESEARCH METHOD ← Garamond, 12, Bold, space 1.5
(Font: Garamond, 12, space 1.5) This part addresses the methods employed in the research. It includes types of research (classroom action research, design research, etc.), research subjects, research instruments (developed by the researcher/s or adapt the existing instrument), data sources, data collections, and data analysis. The author(s) must pay careful attention to the data analysis since it is not just a general step. For example, the author(s) state that the data was analyzed through four steps; reducing data, displaying data, making an inference, and verification. The four steps are required to be operationally elaborated referring to what the author(s) did in the research.
Figures, graphs, tables, and equation
The figures must be arranged as in the example below.
The figure is center alignment
Figure 1. Attached figure in article (Center alignment)
The graphs must be like the following format.
The graph is center alignment
Graph 1. Attached graph format (Center alignment)
The tables must be written in space 1 and 10,5 pts. The table format used in this journal article is as below

FINDING AND DISCUSSION ← Garamond, 12, Bold, space 1.5
(Font: Garamond, 12, space 1.5) This part includes three major points, i.e., representative or selected research data that support the findings, research findings, and the discussion or a dept-analysis of the findings. For example, if the research was about students’ problem solving of non-routine mathematics tasks then the authors should present selected data on students’ work, explain the findings drawn from the presented data, and following by a thorough analysis of the findings. Some questions to help to make the analysis are: Why are that the findings? How do the findings solve the identified research problems or answer the proposed research questions? How do the findings relate to prior studies or the body of knowledge? How do the findings imply Islamic teaching and learning theoretically or empirically? The discussion or analysis of the findings is not enough to just state that it relates to prior studies. This part ends with suggestions for further research.
CONCLUSION← Garamond, 12, Bold, space 1.5
(Font: Garamond, 12, space 1.5) The conclusion answers the research hypothesis or purposes.
