The Effect of Competence on Teacher Performance through the Ability to Use Technology

Abstract

It is possible to assess a teacher's effectiveness in the classroom by comparing their actual performance over a given time period to predetermined performance standards designed to bring about the desired educational outcomes. Performance criteria can be used for this sort of assessment and evaluation. The goal of this study is to analyze the effectiveness with which teachers at MTSN 1 Makassar use technology to determine the impact of competition on their performance. In addition, this study seeks to answer the question of whether or not modern technology can be used as a moderating factor. The 104 respondents were all students at Makassar's MTSN 1. Primary data were used for this study, meaning they were collected firsthand from people interested in the topic (in this case, educators at MTSN 1 Makassar) through the use of questionnaires. Test results suggest that teachers' effectiveness improves when they make effective use of classroom technology and other resources. Ability to utilize technology can serve as a go-between for a teacher's competence and effectiveness.
