Abstract
One’s imaginative capability will influence his/her design idea and final product, therefore the imaginative capability is important to a designer. People always considered that the imaginative capability is natural endowment; however, the authors considered that it could be inspired by the family and school education. The purpose of this research was to find a feasible way to inspire students' imaginative capability, and investigate the relationship between the students' imaginative capability to their family education and school education respectively through a devised experimental teaching. For this purpose, some reasonable influential factors of imaginative capability were selected by references and experts’ suggestions, and then classified into three facets. The facets were personality, study atmosphere, and imaginational thinking respectively. The experimental teaching proved that the imaginative capability indeed can be raised by acquired education.
