Abstract

American liberal arts colleges are renowned for their high-quality teaching. Due to the combined impact of field, capital, and habitus, the level of teaching commitment among teachers in American Liberal Arts Colleges is relatively high. Liberal arts colleges and the field of teaching, as external factors, collectively limit teachers' investment in teaching. The behavioral logic of teachers' teaching investment involves the accumulation and transformation of cultural capital associated with teachers' teaching. The formation, maintenance, and externalization of teachers' teaching habitus are internal factors that influence teachers' commitment to teaching. To address the issue of inadequate faculty members' commitment to teaching, colleges and universities should prioritize the teaching aspect. This can be achieved by emphasizing the professional development of teachers, enhancing their teaching skills, and updating the teacher evaluation system. Teachers should exercise their teaching autonomy fully and establish a sound teaching concept.
