Developing a Teaching Curriculum that Enhances Psychology Students’ Scientific Understanding through Engagement in Explanatory Modeling Activities
GLN Consulting offers a variety of services organized around the use of engagement in explanatory modeling activities to help students achieve a deeper understanding of the scientific study of psychological phenomena. Explanatory modeling is a form of model-based reasoning that involves the use of causal knowledge to construct explanations of phenomena, derive hypotheses from these explanations, and compare these hypotheses to relevant empirical evidence. We work with psychology teachers to help them develop a teaching curriculum that integrates student engagement in these activities with teaching methods and instructional resources in ways that enhance students’ scientific understanding in core topics (e.g. learning, development, neuroscience).
My name is Dr. George L. Newsome, III. Ten years ago, I founded a company designed to assist psychology teachers in a very specific area: using engagement in explanatory modeling activities to develop students’ higher-order thinking skills.
GLN Consulting was founded in 2003 by Dr. George L. Newsome, III to help teachers develop in their students the cognitive skills that are necessary to think critically about the subject matter of psychology.
Simply put, I make your job easier. My research in explanatory modeling activities is frankly invaluable, simply because of the time it can save you. I have already done the work. I have already done the research.
All our consulting is done online so we can offer services that are both convenient and inexpensive.
