Design methods are tools created by designers to help them work efficiently and find good solutions. These methods need to be teachable and flexible. The challenge lies in teaching these methods effectively, as it involves more than just sharing information. The goal of this paper is to understand what characteristics a designer needs to create effective design methods and how these methods can be taught. The researchers focus on studying the development of design methods, the qualities of the designers who create them, and the process of developing these methods. The aim is to establish a suitable teaching concept for design methods.
