The Influence of Learning Leadership Competency Model on Teacher Performance

Abstract

The introduction underscores the pivotal role of teachers in the Indonesian education system and acknowledges the challenges in achieving high-quality education. This study aims to assess the impact of the Learning Leadership Competency Model, Management Leadership, and Principal Decision-Making Ability on Pedagogical Competency and Teacher Performance, drawing insights from established leadership models and management functions to define the essential competencies for effective teaching. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) on a sample population for hypothesis testing. The section outlines the validity and reliability tests, including the R-Square test to gauge variable influence. Results emphasize the reliability of instruments and provide R-Square values for teacher performance and pedagogical competency. The study's population focuses on the impact of management leadership and principal decision-making ability on pedagogical competency and teacher performance, with a sample size of 100. Hypothesis testing indicates significant positive effects of management leadership, learning leadership competency, and pedagogical competency on teacher performance. The conclusion asserts that while decision-making ability doesn't directly impact teacher performance, it significantly influences pedagogical competency. Both management leadership and learning leadership competency exhibit positive effects on teacher performance and pedagogical competency. Notably, pedagogical competency emerges as a key factor influencing teacher performance.
