description University lecturers are both educators and facilitators to university students to enhance the dynamics and effectiveness of the educational process. Lecturers’ professional competence and their teaching environments are two factors that influence the students’ performance through effective classroom teaching practice. However, in a university the concept of classroom teaching practices is easily overlooked as it is generally believed that the university academics have acquired professional competence and the teaching environment is judged to be conducive. Recent research indicated that university lecturers lack adequate competencies in managing the classrooms, and this issue has not been adequately addressed. Thus, the main objective of this study is to examine the extent to which professional competence and teaching environment determine the classroom teaching practice among lecturers. A mixed method design was employed to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data using questionnaire were gathered from 800 lecturers while seven lecturers were interviewed for qualitative information at Al-Baha University, Saudi Arabia. Quantitative data were analysed using mean, percentage, Pearson correlation, one way Anova and multiple regressions.
