Pengaruh Sertifikasi Guru, Kompetensi Profesional, dan Pengembangan Karir Terhadap Kinerja Guru

This study aims to determine the influence of teachers’ certification, professional competence, and career development on teachers’ performance at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. This study uses a quantitative approach, while the research technique is carried out by distributing questionnaires to research respondents, totaling 59 teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. The results showed that there was a positive and significant effect between teachers’ certification on teachers’ performance at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. This is evidenced by the value of the coefficient tcount < ttable, which is 2,951 > 1.672 at a significant value of 0.005 < 0.05. It is concluded that the research hypothesis H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. There is a positive but not significant effect among professional competence on teachers’ performance at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. This is evidenced by the value of the coefficient tcount > ttable, which is 0.206 < 1.672 at a significance level of 0.838 > 0.05. It is concluded that the research hypothesis H₀ is accepted and H2 is rejected. There is a positive and significant influence among career development on teachers’ performance at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. This is evidenced by the value of the coefficient tcount > ttable, which is 0.206 < 1.672 at a significance level of 0.838 > 0.05. It is concluded that the research hypothesis H₀ is rejected and H3 is accepted. There is a simultaneous positive influence between teachers’ certification, professional competence, and career development on teachers’ performance at SMP Negeri 1 Peureulak. Based on the results of the F test, it can be seen that the variables consisting of teachers’ certification (X1), professional competence (X2), career development (X3), have a significant value of 0.000 < 0.05 and the value of Fcount > Ftable (48.869 > 3.15). Thus the decision is obtained that H0 is rejected and H4 is accepted. In addition, the multiple linear regression models in this study are feasible to use because it has a positive value. The magnitude of the coefficient of determination (R Square) is R Square 0.727 or equal to 72.7%. This figure means that the variables of teachers’ certification, professional competence, career development, simultaneously (together) affect teachers’ performance by 72.7%. While the rest is 100% - 72.7% = 27.3%. This means that 27.3% is influenced by other variables outside the regression equation or the variables studied.
