For this reason, teachers as learning agents are required to carry out the learning process as well as possible within the framework of educational development.

Second, inferential statistics using regression analysis are used to test hypotheses. Finally, the t-test is used to analyze the difference between teacher competence and the performance of teachers who have not followed professional certification and those who have followed professional certification. The result is that competence influences teacher performance, which means the better the teacher's competence, the better the teacher's performance.
