http://www.lifescied.org/content/14/4/ar43.abstractWe define a new construct termed Instructor Talk that may be a key mechanism for effectively implementing active learning and that may contribute to minimizing student resistance and stereotype threat, while building instructor immediacy. We used a mixed-methods approach and analyzed more than 600 instructor quotes. Presented here is a novel framework revealing the emergent categories and subcategories of the framework as well as examples of Instructor Talk.
