How can educators encourage adaptive attributions?

Educators can encourage adaptive attributions by fostering a growth mindset in their students. This involves teaching students that intelligence and abilities can be developed over time through effort and perseverance. By praising students for their hard work, perseverance, and strategies rather than solely on their innate talents or outcomes, educators can help students develop a belief in their own ability to improve and succeed. Encouraging reflection on past successes and failures, emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes, and providing opportunities for students to set and achieve realistic goals can also help cultivate adaptive attributions in students.
