About
Oenardi Lawanto is a leading researcher in engineering education, whose work centers on understanding how students learn to design. His primary research areas include self-regulated learning (SRL), task interpretation, and the cognitive strategies students employ during complex engineering design projects. Lawanto’s major contribution lies in his pioneering exploration of how students from high school through college interpret design tasks and how this interpretation shapes their use of learning strategies. His most cited work, a 2013 study with 25 citations, provides critical insight into the differences in SRL patterns between high school students and college freshmen, revealing how novices approach open-ended problems. This research has practical implications for curriculum design, helping educators scaffold instruction to better support student metacognition. Lawanto’s earlier work, including a 2011 study on Grades 9–12, further established his focus on the critical link between task understanding and planning. Through these studies, he has significantly advanced the field’s understanding of how to cultivate effective, self-regulated learners in engineering, making his work essential reading for educators and researchers aiming to improve design education.
