This study aims to analyze the effect of teacher competence on the academic achievement of elementary school students. Teacher competence is one of the important factors in determining the quality of education and student learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sample consisted of 100 students and 20 teachers from several elementary schools in [area name], which were selected randomly. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured teacher competence in pedagogical, personality, social, and professional aspects. In addition, student academic achievement was measured through report card grades and semester exam results. Data analysis was carried out using linear regression to determine the relationship between teacher competence variables and student academic achievement. The results showed that there was a significant positive effect between teacher competence and student academic achievement, with a p value <0.05. This shows that increasing teacher competence can contribute to improving student academic achievement. This study recommends that schools provide ongoing training and professional development for teachers to improve their competence, so that it can have a positive impact on student learning outcomes. Thus, teacher competence is one aspect that needs to be considered in efforts to improve the quality of education in elementary schools.
