Based on social cognitive theory, this study explores the relationship between professional identity and teaching effectiveness among faculty in local undergraduate institutions. Faculty members from four local undergraduate institutions were selected as research participants, and the study employed the Teacher Professional Identity Scale and the Teaching Effectiveness Scale as research instruments to measure the relationship between the two variables. The results indicate that professional identity has a significant positive impact on teaching effectiveness among faculty in local undergraduate institutions. Furthermore, gender, years of teaching experience, and professional title serve as background variables that influence the relationship between professional identity and teaching effectiveness.
