Microergonomics in Higher Education: A Synthesis Research Approach

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify the components and methods of microergonomics used in higher education in the studies conducted in this field by the method of synthesis. The methodological approach in this study was qualitative using synthesis research and content analysis method. Materials and Methods: Regardless of the time frame 105 articles were found by referring to the reliable article and scientific databases, in the field of microergonomics in higher education. Among these articles, 14 were selected as samples purposefully. Results The findings of his study revealed the most important indicators identified in the field of microergonomics research in higher education, which included the ergonomic design of teaching and learning equipment, supplies and tools, matching of the body dimensions and the dimensions of tables and chairs used, the ergonomic design of university spaces, ergonomics for order, discipline, cleaning, repairs and maintenance, special ergonomics for women and older people, ergonomics in performing tasks and determining workload, environmental ergonomics and atmospheric conditions and also general ergonomics education. Conclusion: Microergonomics is one of the most important sciences whose implementation is needed in higher education, and it plays a role in the health of academics and in making teaching and learning more effective.
