The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The statistical population consisted of all male students in the second cycle of secondary education in District Two of Kerman City (N = 450). A multistage cluster random sampling method was used, and the sample included 60 students who were randomly assigned to an experimental group (30 participants) and a control group (30 participants). Data were collected using the Academic Integration Questionnaire developed by Terenzini and Pascarella (1980). Participants in the experimental group received the Choice Theory educational package over eight sessions, whereas the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance with SPSS software. The results indicated that the educational package developed based on Choice Theory had a significant effect on academic integration and its components at the posttest stage, and the continuity of this effect was also observed at the follow-up stage (p &lt; .01). Therefore, the educational package developed based on Choice Theory can be considered an effective method for increasing students’ academic integration.</p> https://www.journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/psychnexus/article/download/5516/9956
