Academic self-confidence is essential for student success but often becomes a challenge in presentations and classroom interactions. This study evaluated a one-day psychoeducational intervention integrating growth mindset and cognitive restructuring to enhance students’ academic self-confidence. The intervention was implementes with 11 Communication Science students at Mercu Buana University, Yogyakarta, using lectures, group discussions, simulations, role-plays, and reflections. Effectiveness was assessed through pre- and post- tests. Results showed improved recognition of cognitive distortions, increased adoption of a growth mindset, and greater confidence in facing academic challenges, as indicated by higher post-test scores. The findings suggest that this programme offers a practical model for fostering non-cognitive skills and psychological resilience in higher education.
