Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze various factors influencing teacher performance in educational foundations in Surakarta as a basis for developing a model for improving teacher performance. Teacher performance is one of the main indicators of successful learning- however, in practice, it is influenced by various internal and external aspects. Therefore, this preliminary study focuses on exploring factors that contribute to teacher performance, particularly pedagogical competence, professional commitment, and other supporting factors within the educational environment.
This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with five teachers from educational foundations in Surakarta. The collected data were then analyzed descriptively through the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. This study is expected to provide an initial overview of the key factors influencing teacher performance.
