The experimental and control groups responded to the research tool questionnaires in three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The experimental group received 8 45-minute sessions of training. Follow-up answered Sinha and Singh's AISS (1993) academic adjustment questionnaire and Pekrun et al.'s AEQ (2002) academic emotions questionnaire Results: The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that mindfulness training has a significant effect on increasing academic adaptation and educational hope and reducing students' academic anxiety. Conclusion: It is concluded that having mindfulness in educational situations causes positive changes in education and educational environments at an optimal level. In relation to these results, it can be said that the training program has been effective because in this program, the participants' awareness and attention without judgment were improved and they faced challenges with self-acceptance and reduced reactivity. By considering this model, school counselors can affect the academic adaptation and educational hope and reduce the academic anxiety of students.
