In user requirements research, emotional design is a qualitative analysis of users' emotional needs, and in order to clarify the priority of emotional needs in design, it is necessary to introduce such an effective method of quantifying needs as the Kano model, which not only meets children's emotional needs, but also makes the design ideas clearer and more explicit. Taking the children's insect science education APP as an example, this study will first analyze the users' emotional needs based on the three levels of visceral, behavioral and reflective levels of emotional design, and then use the Kano model to categorize and sort the attributes of different emotional needs, so as to refine the key needs and guide the application of the corresponding children's insect science APP interface design. This study aims to provide new ideas for user needs analysis, and also hopes to provide practical references for the design of children's insect science APP.
