<![CDATA[This study examined preliminary changes in emotion-regulation scores following a single classical guidance session using Pod-Cards Audio, a QR-code-based audio-drama medium developed around Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. The media combines audio storytelling, structured peer reflection, a four-quadrant emotion-mapping worksheet (Mood Radar), and a personal coping commitment sheet (My Action Plan). A one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design was used with 32 eighth-grade students from one laboratory junior high school in Malang, Indonesia. The mean score increased from 65.34 (SD = 5.60) at pretest to 79.47 (SD = 3.72) at posttest, a mean increase of 14.13 points. A paired-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference, t(31) = 11.56, p < .001. These results suggest a substantial short-term association between participation in the session and higher self-reported emotion-regulation scores. However, because the study had no control group and used a single post-intervention measurement, the results do not establish that the media alone caused the improvement. Details of the scale’s item count, response format, psychometric properties, and score-category cutoffs must be verified against the original instrument documentation before publication.]]>
