Abstract

Today, one of the main goals of contemporary education systems is to provide and prepare efficient educational spaces and equipment, in order to improve the educational status of students. One of the most important ways to gain this goal is by providing appropriate and efficient educational spaces and equipment in harmony with the educational system in the world. Carrying overly heavy school bags or backpacks is one of the most common problems that students face. The backpack in school plan is a solution for elementary students that is based on the policies of the Education Organization, but unfortunately in most schools in the country, due to the lack of proper physical infrastructure and lack of personal space for each student, practically the implementation of this plan has failed.  In this regard, it is required to study and create desirable equipments compatible with the educational system in order to prevent many problems such as negative effects on the students' mental and physical health. Therefore, classroom benches should be designed to reduce pressure on the body and support body weight, and the chair should be able to support reading and writing processes. For this purpose, after conducting field studies and research, we found out that upgrading educational furniture according to the interests and needs of the user is a suitable approach for implementing the research objectives. In this research, after studies and field research in the schools of Urmia city was conducted through a questionnaire to obtain the opinions of 60 girls and 60 boys. The obtained data were extracted as educational furniture design parameters, and then formulated and prioritized as design criteria, using standard evaluation principles to design factors. Then in the practical phase of the research, the designs were done based on the criteria and the superior design was finally selected, described and developed. The selected design with a weighting factor of 815 was upgraded considering the features desired by the users. Then, a simulated video sample was provided to the subjects to check and survey the success rate of the components implemented in the final product design and to check the satisfaction level of the users and to implement a semi-experimental plan (pre-test, post-test). The Grice House - Geisser test was used, which was significant at the p < 0.001 level. Finally, the comparison and interpretation of the data showed the pleasantness and satisfaction of the users with the final product design and the effectiveness of the output components and implementation in the final design.
