Toward designing new classrooms.

چکیده
This study is a work on analyzing the traditional shapes of classrooms. A model is presented that considers the rectangular classroom divided into five sections as a function of two factors: viewing distance and horizontal viewing angle. The reading time and number of errors are affected by both. This model is validated experimentally, and the shape of a trapezoid is suggested for new classrooms.
