The aim of this research is studing effectiveness of academic buoyancy training on academic meaning and academic performance of girl students. The population includes all third grade girl students at the first period of high school of Mashhad city in academic years 2015-16. In an experimental design 40 students after being matched based on gender and academic grade were selected by multi-step cluster random sampling method and randomly assigned to two equal groups. Experimental group educated 12 sessions that each session was 70 minutes by academic buoyancy method. Each two groups completed the questionnaires of academic meaning (Henderson–King and Smith, 2006) and academic performance (Salehi, 2013) as a pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance with repeated measure design. The findings showed that in the post-test and follow-up stages was a significant difference between experimental and control groups on the variables of academic meaning and academic performance of girl students. On the other words, in the post-test and follow-up stages academic buoyancy training led to increase academic meaning and academic performance of girl students (P<0/01). So we suggest using academic buoyancy training method to improve the characteristics of academic especially in academic meaning and academic performance.
