Results Recap

To gauge the level of impact on the learning experience, students and teachers were asked to rate the following areas before and after they received the "kit" of new furniture from the Ruckus research program:

  • Move "however I want"
  • Work comfortably with technology
  • Work in groups
  • Engagement/participation
  • Enjoyment/retention

The results showed increases between 30% and 60% within each area. That's an incredible impact!

Overall, the top driver in all age levels was the freedom to move. KI proudly manufactures furniture solutions that support this vital need and so much more. Specifically, the "kit" of new furniture that helped support the needs of the modern classroom included the Ruckus Collection, Pillar Tables, MyPlace Lounge Seating, Instruct Desks and Connection Zone Mobile Screens.
