Abstract—The purpose of this study is to explore the animation imagination rating scales and the learning mode, and the study objects are students from Vocational and Technological Colleges and Universities, using survey research methods during the study processing to develop the tool of imagination rating scales through animation, literature on the subject of imagination, and consulting with professional. The study objects consist of total 358 students, more than a dozen of classes, major in Study Area of Design, Departments of Animation, Television and Film, from the regions of North, Middle, South and East Taiwan.
