Biography
Dr. Shanta Hattikudur is the program coordinator for the human development and community engagement program. Her research interests focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms of learning. She accomplishes this by using comparisons in mathematical learning as well as lesson design to improve how students learn concepts and procedures simultaneously. She seeks to understand not only the ways in which students learn how to solve a problem, but also why those solution procedures are successful. In 2015, she received the Undergraduate Teaching Award from the College of Education at Temple.
