Assessing the Impact of Teaching Learning Centers on Faculty Preparedness and Empowerment

Abstract

With the evolution of higher education, Teaching Learning Centers (TLCs) have emerged as vital resources for enhancing faculty preparedness, promoting pedagogical innovation, and empowering educators to elevate student learning experiences. This study evaluates the influence of TLCs on faculty teaching competencies and empowerment. Quantitative surveys with faculty members who have participated in TLC programs across diverse institutions. The quantitative analysis examines changes in teaching efficacy, pedagogical knowledge, and classroom practices after engagement with TLCs. The findings indicate that faculty members involved with TLCs experience notable improvements in their teaching skills, increased confidence in their instructional methods, and a heightened sense of community and support within their institutions. The study also highlights the role of TLCs in cultivating a culture of continuous improvement and innovation in teaching, ultimately leading to better student engagement and academic success.
