MISMATCH BETWEEN CLASSROOM FURNITURE AND STUDENT BODY DIMENSIONS: CASE OF IZMIR

Öz:
The aim of the research is to determine the anthropometric measures of school children aged 12-13, who live in Izmir, Turkey, in order to propose anthropometrically appropriate school furniture (desk and chair), and to compare findings with the available classroom furniture produced according to Standards of Classroom Furniture, published by Republic Of Turkey General Directorate of Primary Education to determine potential mismatches. A total of twelve anthropometric data were collected by convenience sampling from 393 (207 male and 186 female) students. The data were analyzed with the aid of the SPSS v13 software on a desktop computer. Descriptive statistics for each anthropometric dimension are given as mean, standard deviation and 5th and 95th percentile values for male and female in mm. The obtained anthropometric data used for calculating classroom furniture dimensions, sitting height, seat depth, seat width, backrest height and desk height. Mismatches were found when the findings were compared with the Standards of Classroom Furniture, published by Republic Of Turkey General Directorate of Primary Education.

SINIF MOBİLYALARI VE ÖĞRENCİ VÜCUT ÖLÇÜLERİ ARASINDAKİ UYUMUN ARAŞTIRILMASI: İZMİR ÖRNEĞİ

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı İzmir ilinde okuyan 12-13 yaş arası öğrencilerin antropometrik verilerinin belirlenerek onlar için ergonomik uygunlukta okul sırası ve masası ölçülerinin saptanması ve standartları T.C. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nca belirlenerek okulların kullanımına tahsis edilmiş olan sınıf mobilyalarının öğrenciler için uygun olup olmadığının tespit edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda 393 (207 erkek ve 186 kadın) öğrenciden 12 farklı antropometrik ölçü toplanmıştır. Toplanan ölçüler SPSS v13 yazılımı yardımıyla analiz edilmiş, her ölçü için ortalama, %5 ve %95 olmak üzere betimsel istatistiki değerler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen antropometrik veriler uygun oturma yüksekliği, oturma genişliği, oturma derinliği, sırtlık yüksekliği ve masa yüksekliği ölçülerinin hesaplanmasında kullanılmış, ve mevcut sıra ve masa ölçüleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırma sonucu, T.C. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nca belirlenmiş sınıf mobilyası ölçülerinin İzmir ilinde okuyan öğrenciler için uygunluğunun tartışmalı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
