Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.
Ergonomics can be use within my class work in the teaching of information computer when teaching the students about the proper setting of the computer lab and how to set it up. students will be asked to go on their web-quest and complete the assignments given this could be used as a critical part of my lesson. its important when the students who are doing the information technology course is inform about ergonomics because their alot of benefits when learning about it when it comes on to their health.
