Abstract
Due to the rapid development of information technology, not only did people begin to think about the rapid development of wireless networks, but also the development of products in other fields through various tools and applications, including the rise of audio-visual platforms and the popularization of mobile applications. They have made mobile games and mobile payments closer to our daily life. In this way, technology education has been widely used in the educational environment, showing the increasing demand for technology products in education. This study aims to develop and verify the characteristics of people’s imagination of technology products. A total of 135 objects over the age of 18. Through exploratory factor analysis performed by principal component analysis of the varimax orthogonal rotation; item analysis uses comparisons of extreme groups so as to check item-total correlations and internal consistency; Confirmatory factor analysis compares the goodness of fit indices of the first-order model, the first-order four-factor model, and the second-order model. These analyses are conducted to determine and construct validity and reliability. A second-order model technology product imagination disposition scale is constructed, which contains 17 items in four facets, namely practical evaluation, positive preference, beyond reality and attitude, to measure people’s imagination of technology products and help teachers understand the characteristics of students.
