Measuring the Effectiveness of the PDREF Framework through Collaborative Writing Activities in Teaching Descriptive Essays
The ability to write descriptive essays is an essential competence for students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). However, many students still face difficulties in organizing ideas and producing systematic writing. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the PDREF framework (Planning, Drafting, Revising, Editing, and Final Draft) in teaching descriptive essay writing. PDREF was applied as a process-oriented instructional framework in teaching writing. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants of this study were 10 students from the English Education Department at Universitas Islam Balitar. The data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test through SPSS. The results of the analysis showed a significant improvement in students’ writing ability, with the mean score increasing from 65.40 in the pre-test to 82.70 in the post-test. The paired sample t-test result indicated a significance value of 0.000 (Sig. 2-tailed < 0.05), which means that there was a significant difference before and after the implementation of the PDREF framework. Therefore, the PDREF framework is found to be effective in improving EFL students’ descriptive essay writing skills, particularly in terms of idea organization and descriptive quality.

Gender dan Karakteristik Coping Trauma Pada Anak Pasca Bencana
Natural disasters are traumatic events that can have significant psychological effects on children, who are emotionally vulnerable and rely on various coping strategies to manage trauma. This study examines the characteristics of trauma coping strategies used by children following a disaster and explores gender differences in the selection of these strategies. Five coping domains are analyzed: problem-focused coping, positive cognitive restructuring, support-seeking strategies, distraction strategies, and avoidance strategies. A quantitative survey approach with accidental sampling was employed. The participants were 889 children aged 10-12 years from 21 elementary schools in the Ponorogo area who were affected by a disaster. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics through SPSS software. The findings reveal that positive cognitive restructuring is the most frequently used coping strategy among children after disasters. Gender differences were also identified, with girls use positive cognitive restructuring more often, while boys are more likely to employ distraction strategies to cope with psychological stress. These results highlight the importance of considering gender based coping patterns in post disaster psychological interventions. The study provides valuable insights for school and government agencies in developing effective coping strategy programs, particularly by strengthening positive cognitive restructuring skills to support children’s psychological recovery after disaster.

Analisis Kekuatan Struktur dengan Sambungan Las pada Structural Profile Penyangga Pipa Drainase di Grouting Tunnel Menggunakan Metode Finite Element Analysis
Welded joints are critical components in steel structures because they experience high stress concentrations and have the potential to cause structural failure. This study aimed to analyze the strength of welded joints on the structuraL Profile used as a drainage pipe support in a grouting tunnel using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The study employed a quantitative experimental approach through three-dimensional modeling and simulation using ANSYS software. The analysis focused on equivalent stress, total deformation, and safety factor under static loading conditions with variations in loading point distances of 17.5 cm, 35 cm, and 67.5 cm from the support point to evaluate the effect of load distribution on structural response. The results showed that the highest stress concentration occurred in the weld toe and weld root areas, which are critical regions susceptible to structural failure. Variations in loading position significantly affected the stress distribution and deformation of the structure, where greater loading distances from the support point tended to increase stress and deformation values. However, the structure still satisfied the minimum safety factor requirements based on AWS and AISC standards. The findings demonstrate that the FEA method is capable of effectively predicting structural behavior and providing recommendations for optimizing welded joint design in drainage pipe support structures.
