INTRODUCTION TO RECOGNIZE SECTION

In the Recognize stage, the structure and rhetorical patterns of scientific articles are analyzed. The main focus of this stage is to understand how academic papers are systematically organized through the use of rhetorical moves and steps that serve specific communicative purposes. By recognizing these patterns, the functions of each article section such as abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion, and conclusion. This understanding provides a strong foundation for producing scientific articles that meet the standards of reputable journals.

The learning process is initiated with a brainstorming activity, in which previous experiences in reading journal articles are recalled and common elements in each section are identified. Through this activity, the distinct purposes of article components, as well as the challenges often encountered in writing them, are recognized. In this way, both theoretical knowledge and prior learning experiences are drawn upon to build critical awareness of academic article structure.

To deepen understanding, published research articles are analyzed by identifying and marking rhetorical moves in each section. This practice sharpens the ability to recognize rhetorical structures while also introducing variations across articles, both in writing style and in strategies of argumentation. Through group discussion and comparison, similarities and differences are highlighted, along with their implications for article quality and acceptance in journals.

Finally, the Recognize stage emphasizes the application of this knowledge in the preparation of a research outline. An initial outline is drafted, including a title, background, research questions, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. By completing this process, the principles of academic writing based on rhetorical moves are internalized and used as a practical guide for developing scientific articles.
