Emphasizing : Limited workspace
A workshop may be a room or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods (derived from wikipedia). Workshops may also refer to short term courses or classes focusing on the development and improvement of specific skill sets such as communication leadership. In this post, my main focus will be on physical workshops and the importance of having an appropriate and ample work space.
I am currently studying in an art institution and working in a workshop is but a daily affair. Overcrowded workshops and a lack of available equipment are problems that students face on a daily basis. These problems affect the productivity of students and increase the chances of mishaps that could possibly occur. I strongly feel that having ample space and equipment to work with whilst working on a project in a workshop is of utmost importance. This ensures that users will have space to maneuver around and would lower the waiting time that students would otherwise spend whilst sharing equipment. With ample equipment and space provided, productivity will be increased, accidents will be cut down, work processes will be smoother and definitely, more enjoyable. There will hardly be need to share equipment and students will be generally less distracted and more focused on the task at hand. Another form of solution would definitely be to decrease our current class sizes. A smaller class will guarantee more space, smaller queues and generally, an increase in focus on the students from the teachers. This will increase a students learning capacity as their mistakes can be pointed out easily, extra attention can be given to students in need and not to mention, a general decrease in the number of mishaps.
The above mentioned are but just a few suggestions as to how the current situation in our school workshops could be improved. Proper workspaces will definitely ensure better production and increased productivity which would in turn result in optimal production and results from students.
