Randomized trial develops an information structure to enhance understanding of design methods, suggesting improvements for education.
This paper presents the development and validation of a new information structure for design methods for an enhanced repository of design methods to support design practice and pedagogy. The structure is based on features derived from challenges faced by design students, practitioners, and educators in understanding, using, and teaching design methods, and it is experimentally validated. Results show 81.2% of participants had no difficulty in understanding and using design methods based on the proposed information structure. Participants reported 8 improvements in the structure.
