<![CDATA[This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program in improving teachers’ professional competence, focusing on pedagogical, professional, social, and personality aspects. The research employed a quantitative approach using an evaluative survey design. A total of 250 teachers participating in the 2024 PPG program in the Greater Jakarta area were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, which demonstrated strong validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89). The results show that the PPG program contributed significantly to teachers’ competence development. Pedagogical competence experienced the highest improvement (87%), followed by professional competence (82%), social competence (78%), and personality competence (74%). In addition, 71% of respondents reported that the instructional methods implemented in the PPG program were highly relevant to classroom practice, while 68% indicated increased confidence in classroom management after completing the program. Overall, the findings confirm that the PPG program has a positive impact on teachers’ professional development. However, challenges remain in curriculum implementation and post-program mentoring. These results suggest that PPG should function not only as a certification program but also as a strategic instrument for improving the quality of teaching and learning. Strengthening curriculum design, mentoring systems, and collaboration between LPTKs and partner schools is therefore essential for sustainable teacher professional development.Keywords: Teacher Professional Education, Program Evaluation, Teacher Competence, Professionalism]]>
