Abstract
Active learning is a learning process that promotes learners’ engagement through hands-on experiences, which helps develop higher-order thinking skills and supports well-being across multiple dimensions. This design research aimed to (1) analyze problems in active learning practices related to well-being promotion, (2) develop design principles that support active learning for enhancing well-being, and (3) propose guidelines for activity development. The study was conducted in three phases: context analysis, design and development, and synthesis of recommendations. The informants consisted of six participants, including teachers, a nurse, and upper secondary school students. Data were collected through focus group discussions and analyzed using content analysis. The findings were then examined for appropriateness and coherence by three experts. The results revealed that (1) upper secondary school students experienced well-being problems in the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions; (2) design principles for activities to enhance teachers’ active learning management skills were developed, emphasizing learner analysis, the design of participatory learning activities, and the creation of learning environments that support well-being; and (3) these principles led to the development of two prototype activities: learner characteristic analysis and active learning management for promoting well-being, which can serve as effective guidelines for enhancing teachers’ competencies and promoting students’ well-being.
