<![CDATA[Teachers' pedagogical competence is a critical determinant of instructional quality, yet its development remains uneven across Indonesian elementary schools. This study investigates the influence of principal transformational leadership and the utilization of the Ruang GTK platform on teachers' pedagogical competence. A quantitative survey design was employed, involving 98 elementary school teachers in Karangrayung District, Grobogan Regency, selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaire instruments (Cronbach's α > 0.84) and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS. The results indicate that transformational leadership (β = 0.487, p < 0.001) and Ruang GTK platform utilization (β = 0.421, p < 0.001) each exerted significant positive influences on pedagogical competence. The combined model explained 50.0% of the variance in pedagogical competence (R² = 0.500, F(2, 95) = 47.83, p < 0.001). These findings establish that transformational leadership and digital platform utilization are functionally interdependent predictors of pedagogical competence, with leadership emerging as the stronger predictor. School principals and policymakers are encouraged to integrate transformational leadership practices with structured facilitation of Ruang GTK platform use—particularly its collaborative and performance management modules—to optimize teacher professional development.]]>
