Abstract
This study explores the design and functionality of educational bags, focusing on their role in improving convenience, organization, and ergonomic support for students and educators. The research is grounded in a background study highlighting the increasing demands on students to carry diverse educational tools, including books, electronic devices, and stationery, necessitating a well-designed bag that balances practicality and comfort. The methodology involved surveys and structured questionnaires distributed among students, educators, and parents to understand their preferences, challenges, and needs regarding educational bags. Participants provided insights into features such as storage capacity, weight distribution, durability, and additional functionalities like laptop compartments or USB charging ports. The results indicate that most users prioritize ergonomics, durability, and organizational efficiency in bag design, with a notable preference for lightweight, multi-compartment models that accommodate modern educational tools. The findings also reveal concerns over back strain caused by heavy or poorly designed bags, especially among younger students. Based on these insights, the study concludes that educational bags play a crucial role in supporting academic activities by improving physical comfort and productivity. It recommends the adoption of innovative features and materials to address users' needs effectively. This research contributes to the design and development of educational bags, offering valuable input for manufacturers and policymakers focused on enhancing the learning experience through ergonomic and user-friendly solutions.
