Higher education encompasses a lack of a comprehensive approach to education regarding ethics topics. Educational interventions appear needed. Educational design research can be of assistance. The article describes theoretical backgrounds, as well as a suggestion for practical educational design research aimed at developing ethics education for higher education students. Next to theoretical backgrounds, applied practical advices on implementation of an educational intervention on assisting students self-development on ethics, including the role of the educator, are provided. Interventions based on educational design research appear crucial. These assist the theme of Education for Good, Truth, and Beauty as a Current Challenge (not only) for Contemporary Pedagogy, for instance within higher education on ethics, as well as to creating a better world.
