A major change in school education in recent years has been that each student now utilizes a digital device to learn. Although the use of digital devices is expected to have positive effects on learning, there are also concerns about the negative effects of increased opportunities for children to utilize digital devices and the increased time spent using them. Therefore, it is necessary to consider children from an ergonomic perspective, such as improving the ease of use of digital devices and reducing the fatigue caused by their use.
