Students are exposed to the first systematic tasks or activities that a human being carries out in his/her life while at school. In this workplace situation, school furniture is a key factor for the adoption of proper body posture.
The aim of this paper was to observe and determine the potential mismatch between school furniture dimensions and anthropometric characteristics of the students from the Valparaíso region of Chile.
The sample consisted of 3,078 volunteer participants from 18 schools (public, semi-public, private). Eight anthropometric measures were gathered, together with six furniture dimensions. Mismatch analyses were carried out by using pre-defined mismatch criteria.
Many different types of school furniture were presented at the schools. Also, a high level of mismatch was registered for seat height, desk height and seat-to-desk clearance. Finally, the analysis of all considered dimensions together showed that there was a high level of cumulative mismatch.
It can be concluded that there were high levels of mismatch between the school furniture and student anthropometric characteristics and that this mismatch varied within the difference types of schools. This situation may have occurred because furniture acquisition was made without considering any ergonomic criteria.
学生在学校时会接触到人类在其生命中进行的首批系统性任务或活动。在这种校园环境中，学校家具是采用正确身体姿势的关键因素。
本文旨在观察并确定智利瓦尔帕莱索地区学校家具尺寸与学生人体测量学特征之间可能存在的不匹配情况。
样本包括来自18所学校（公立、半公立、私立）的3078名志愿者参与者。收集了八项人体测量指标以及六项家具尺寸。使用预先定义的不匹配标准进行不匹配分析。
学校展示了许多不同类型的学校家具。此外，在座椅高度、书桌高度和座椅与书桌间距方面记录到高度不匹配。最后，对所有考虑的尺寸进行综合分析表明存在高度累积不匹配。
可以得出结论，学校家具与学生人体测量学特征之间存在高度不匹配，且这种不匹配在不同类型的学校中有所不同。这种情况可能是因为在购置家具时未考虑任何人体工程学标准。
