impacting their learning environment. This research investigates: 1) The level and necessity of creating a learning environment that supports overweight students, and 2) guidelines to improve the learning environment for overweight students. Using a mixed-methods approach, for quantitative research, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted on 42 overweight students. The data were analyzed to determine frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. For the qualitative research, an interview form and an observation record form were used. Key informants were conducted for the 10 overweight students with the highest BMI values. The data were analyzed, summarized, and presented through a qualitative analysis. The findings of the study were as follows: 1) The level and necessity of creating a learning environment that supports overweight students in all aspects was high. 2) Guidelines to improve the learning environment for overweight students: Nutrition and weight management to improve health knowledge. Overweight conditions can lead to health issues and reduced self-confidence, making proper eating and sleeping habits crucial. Selecting nutritious foods and engaging in physical activities can enhance learning interest, efficiency, and social skills. Psychological support through Q&A sessions and cognitive development games fosters analytical thinking. Group activities and technology integration in teaching boost participation and relationship building, while expert counselors address psychological and emotional issues.
