Abstract

Teacher performance is a key factor determining the quality of education in elementary schools. Pedagogical and professional competencies are believed to have a significant effect on teacher performance. Pedagogical competency includes the teacher’s ability to plan, implement, and evaluate learning effectively, while professional competency relates to mastery of subject matter, understanding of the curriculum, and continuous self-development. This study aims to analyze the influence of these competencies on the performance of teachers at SD Negeri 4 in Selat Penuguan. A quantitative survey method was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to all teachers and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that both pedagogical and professional competencies simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing these competencies to create more effective and professional teachers, thereby improving learning quality and student achievement. The study provides implications for teacher training programs and strategies to improve educational quality at the elementary school level.
