Abstract. This is the formatting for the abstract section.

1 INTRODUCTION

An example of the introduction section follows. This is Times New Roman, in 9 point with justified text and two column format. The page should be laid out as follows, with two columns of width 8.3cm and a spacing of 0.6cm. Page and margins of Left – 1.8cm, Right – 2.0cm, Top – 3.0cm, Bottom – 4.1cm.

Heading 1 Sub-Section Heading

First level sub headings should have font size 9 and bold type as shown above.

1.1.1 Lower Level Section Headings

Sub-sections can either be numbered (e.g. 1.1.1), or not, at the authors’ discretion. The sub-section heading should be in italics and point 9 times new roman type.

Further Low Level Section Headings

Should follow the format of the preceding section headings.

2 METHOD

The following is an example of a section with a figure. Note that the figure caption is 9 point Times New Roman, in bold and centred.

2.1 Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development

Piagets theory [4] states that cognitive development occurs in four stages, during which a child learns new concepts. Importantly, if a child is in one stage, the theory states that they cannot learn concepts from another, more advanced stage. The four stages are shown in Figure 1:

Publications should be referenced in the standard manner, as shown in the preceding paragraph and listed in the references section as shown below, in an ordered list.
