The Influence of Certification Policy and Lecturer Teaching Performance on the Quality of Education

The certification policy aims to enable lecturers to optimally implement the three pillars of higher education (Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi), thereby maximizing the quality of education. This study aims to determine the extent of the influence of certification policy and lecturer teaching performance on the quality of education. The research method employed is a survey method. The study's subjects consist of 80 lecturers randomly selected from Universitas Indraprasta PGRI Jakarta. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire instrument with a Likert scale. To ensure data validity, validity and reliability tests were conducted. The test results indicated that all data followed a normal distribution. The research findings reveal that the lecturer certification policy significantly influences the quality of education. Similarly, lecturer teaching performance also has a significant impact on the quality of education. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows that the certification policy and lecturer teaching performance have a moderate relationship with the quality of education. The implication of these findings is that the lecturer certification policy can encourage lecturers to conduct teaching activities more effectively, thereby improving the quality of education. Nevertheless, continuous efforts are still needed to further enhance the quality of education.
