Abstract

This study is a part of an ongoing project aiming to evaluate the existing design of the classroom desk used in the basic education stage in Benghazi schools. This study represents the third phase of the project covering the sixth and the seventh grades. Anthropometric data was gathered for a total of 120 students (children of age 10–13 years old) from several schools in Benghazi. Selected body dimensions were measured for each student. The evaluation procedure involves the utilization of several equations relating body dimensions to desk dimensions. Each equation computes an acceptable range for each desk dimension based on the associated body dimension. Each desk dimension is compared to the range computed for the related body dimension for each student and percentages of matches/mismatches are determined accordingly. Results of the evaluation revealed considerable percentages of mismatches between the desk dimensions and students’ anthropometry.
