In this case, the ergonomic approach is to focus on the “human factor”, the full adaptation of the information-subject environment, the means of training to the activities of the subjects of the pedagogical process, and ensuring the functioning of the system “teacher - student - means of learning - educational subject environment” is the essence of the ergonomics approach.

It was found that the concept of the New Ukrainian School envisages the organization of classroom space in the form of eight educational units (educational and cognitive activity, variable thematic cells, games, artistic and creative activity, wildlife corner, recreation corner, children's classroom library, teacher's center), reflecting the educational needs and interests of children. Thus, an ergonomic approach provides complete security and is fully adapted to the educational environment of the school, classroom, teaching aids to the joint activities of the subjects of the pedagogical process.
