This study investigates whether students reported a better learning experience from faculty who participated in the 2009 Teaching Institute compared to those who did not. With a sample size of 669 students—368 studying under TI faculty and 301 under non-TI faculty—key assessments indicate significant positive outcomes in clarity of instruction, variety of assignments, and engagement through classroom activities. Statistical analysis shows strong correlations and evidence of increased satisfaction and learning, suggesting that faculty involvement in professional development positively influences student experiences.

Question Do students report a better learning experience from faculty that participated in the 2009 Teaching Institute than faculty who did not participate in the Teaching Institute?
Sample Size (N = 669) Students from 2009 TI faculty (n = 368) Students from non-TI faculty (n = 301)
The assessments in this course seem to get at the things that we were learning. t (667) = 5.98, p <.001, r = .23
My instructor was clear in his or her class presentations. t (667) = 7.17, p <.001, r = .27
The instructor used a variety of assignments to help me to learn the material. t (667) = 3.67, p <.001, r = .14
I found the assignments in this class to be particularly suited to the way I learn. t (667) = 4.37, p <.001, r = .17
My instructor was clear in the presentation of the class objectives. t (667) = 5.11, p <.001, r = .19
My instructor used classroom activities that helped me to engage with the material we were learning. t (667) = 7.87, p <.001, r = .29
Overall, I was satisfied with this class. t (667) = 4.82, p <.001, r = .18
Overall, I learned a lot in this class. t (667) = 1.86, p = .03, r = .07
