In the learning context, this process involves two main actors, namely teachers and Teachers have an important role in helping to form potential human resources in development.
Therefore, becoming a teacher requires high dedication and Education Achievment : Journal of Science and Research Volume 5 Issue 2 July 2024 Page 434-439 professionalism, as well as extensive knowledge of teaching materials and expertise in The teaching profession is not easy, because apart from having to have a deep understanding of teaching material, teachers also have to undergo teacher education.
However, there is often an imbalance between the number of individuals interested in becoming teachers and the number of individuals who have adequate professional Teachers who have professional competence must have broad and indepth knowledge of the field of study being taught, as well as skills in designing and implementing effective learning strategies.
In the learning context, teachers act as educators, mentors and trainers for They are responsible for creating a conducive learning environment, which allows students to learn actively, creatively and innovatively.
Apart from teachers, students also have an important role in the success of the learning process.
One of the key factors that can influence the success of learning is students' interest in the subject Interest can be explained as a person's preference or interest in something or activity naturally, without coercion from other parties.
In the learning context, interest plays an important role in increasing concentration, providing joy, strengthening memory skills, forming a positive learning attitude, and reducing boredom towards States that interest can originate from individual innate factors that are influenced by genetic factors or natural talents, as well as influenced by the environment and external drives such as parents or habits.
In the learning process, the expected goal is interest that arises naturally within students, so that they can learn more actively and effectively.
However, students often engage in learning because of coercion or obligation, without having a strong interest in the lesson.
Measuring interest in learning can be done through the four main indicators proposed by Slameto, namely interest in learning, attention to learning, motivation to learn, and knowledge.
Interest in learning reflects a person's enthusiasm for a lesson, where he or she will be diligent and enthusiastic in understanding the material being Attention in learning shows a person's level of concentration on learning, where students will focus on the material being studied.
Learning motivation is an internal drive that encourages someone to learn and achieve the desired learning goals.
Meanwhile, knowledge includes a deep understanding of the subject matter and an understanding of the benefits of learning in everyday life.
Students' interest in learning is an important factor that contributes to their academic success and personal development.
In the context of basic education, especially in Social Sciences (IPS) subjects, students' interest in learning is not only influenced by internal factors such as motivation and personal interest, but also by external factors, one of which is the quality of teaching provided by the teacher.
The Education Achievment : Journal of Science and Research Volume 5 Issue 2 July 2024 Page 434-439 quality of teaching is greatly influenced by the teacher's educational background and professional training.
Teacher educational background includes the level of formal education that has been completed, teaching experience, as well as training and workshops attended to improve professional competence.

In addition, continuous professional training helps teachers update their knowledge and skills according to the latest developments in the field of education.
This literature study aims to comprehensively examine the influence of teacher educational background on students' interest in learning social studies.
By reviewing various relevant studies and journals, this research seeks to identify key factors that can increase students' interest in learning through improving the quality of teacher This research is important to provide insight for educational policy makers, teacher training institutions, and educators themselves in efforts to improve the quality of education in Indonesia.
