Editor's Notes
In the event of a success or failure, a person is likely to attribute their outcome to internal or external factors. Most often, a person will attribute a failure to external causes they cannot control, like luck or environment, and a success to internal causes they can control, like skill and effort.
Attribution Training is the method for teaching students to attribute success to factors they can control. This has proved effective in schools in teaching…
To concentrate on a task rather than focusing on past failures.
To deal with frustration by determining mistakes or alternative procedures.
To attribute failure to lack of effort rather than lack in ability or external sources such as a boring textbook or bad teaching.
The purpose of attribution training is to help students learn to be accountable for their behavior by providing them with positive feedback about their effort and accomplishments.
