Towards Digital Well-being Education in High-School

As technology becomes pervasive in our lives, particularly among young people, concerns about digital well-being are increasingly important. While self-regulatory approaches like digital self-control tools (DSCT) offer immediate solutions, their long-term effectiveness is not guaranteed. Though less explored, educational interventions may provide more profound changes in digital habits. Combining four co-design sessions with 74 high-school students and online questionnaires with 18 teachers, we investigated both students' and educators' preferences to develop innovative and acceptable solutions for digital well-being challenges. Analyzing the findings of these investigations, we provide 7 guidelines on modalities and approaches to enhance the design of digital well-being educational applications. Our findings advance the understanding of effective educational digital well-being interventions.
