摘要：Teaching Practice Inventory (TPI) was developed and used by Carl Wieman and hence named as Carl Wieman, evaluation model (Wieman & Gilbert, 2014) to assess the effectiveness of teaching practices of courses by faculty instructors. In TPI high scoring courses means that teaching practices may support students’ learning. It is also a response validated survey that allows individual faculty members to describe their teaching practices. This descriptive study aims to investigate faculty members’ teaching practices in undergraduate mathematics courses at King Saud University using the TPI. This TPI inventory was distributed to undergraduate teaching members who teach 15 courses. We received 78 responses: 40 from the mathematics department at the First Common year, and 38 from the Mathematics Department at the College of Science. The results indicate that faculty are adept at incorporating collaboration and in-class activities into their teaching; however, they are less skilled in other categories, including evaluation methods, diagnoses and training, and guiding teaching assistants. The results reveal that female instructors are statistically significantly (α ≤ 0.05) more skilled at collaboration. Based on these results, the researchers recommend designing professional development programs to help faculty members at King Saud University improve their teaching practices.
