ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN BANGKU SEKOLAH UKURAN FIXED DAN ADJUSTABLE UNTUK ANAK SEKOLAH DASAR
Abstract: School bench
is one of
the facilities that
identified could cause
musculoskeletal pain in
school-age children. During class,
students often sit
with poor posture,
back and neck
bent in a
long time so
that musculoskeletal pain
often occur in a classroom. Based on research conducted by Ira Idawati,
school bench design needs to be different for each level of class
because children have
different anthropometric at
each grade level
elementary school-age. This
can be done
by designing school bench
with fixed or
adjustable size. If
school decides to
use fixed size
bench, it is
recommended to use several size of bench based on the level
of the class. But if school used with adjustable size, the school could only
buy one type and size of bench with a certain level of ergonomics. This study analyzed
the used of the fixed and adjustable school bench design
in elementary school
based on economically
and ergonomics. The
result from this
study shown that elementary student
who sit on
fixed size bench
had a larger
risk to the
body than adjustable
bench size from
REBA and RULA scores. This
suggests that adjustable bench was recommended for teaching and learning
process facilities for health and
to prevent injury
on child. From
economic terms, the value of
the Net Present
Value for fixed
size bench is
more economical than the adjustable one. From this two aspect, the
elementary school had references to make school bench type decision.
