Teacher pedagogical competence is one of the key factors in determining the quality of learning and educational success. Teachers with strong pedagogical competence are able to effectively plan, implement, and evaluate learning activities in accordance with students’ characteristics and needs. However, teacher pedagogical competence is influenced by various factors, including academic supervision, continuous professional development, and work motivation. These three factors play a strategic role in supporting the improvement of teacher performance and the achievement of educational goals. This study aimed to analyze the effects of academic supervision, continuous professional development, and work motivation on the pedagogical competence of public elementary school teachers in East Ungaran District, Semarang Regency, both partially and simultaneously. The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational design. The population consisted of 277 public elementary school teachers, with a sample of 164 teachers determined using the Slovin formula and selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through simple linear regression and multiple linear regression techniques. The results revealed that academic supervision had a positive and significant effect on teachers’ pedagogical competence, contributing 34.6%. Continuous professional development also had a positive and significant effect, contributing 31.6%. Work motivation showed a positive and significant effect with a contribution of 52.5%, making it the variable with the greatest contribution to teachers’ pedagogical competence. Simultaneously, academic supervision, continuous professional development, and work motivation had a positive and significant effect on teachers’ pedagogical competence, contributing 63.1%. The findings indicate that improving teachers’ pedagogical competence can be achieved through the optimization of academic supervision, the strengthening of continuous professional development, and the enhancement of teacher work motivation in an integrated manner.
