RESEARCH METHOD
This research uses quantitative methods with a correlational descriptive approach.
This method was chosen because the research aims to analyze the relationship between pedagogical competence and the performance of certified teachers at SMA Negeri 8 Lubuk Linggau.
A correlational descriptive approach was used to determine the extent of the influence of pedagogical competence on teacher performance, using statistical analysis to interpret the data obtained.
The population in this study were all teachers who had teaching certification at SMA Negeri 8 Lubuk Linggau.
This population was chosen because certified teachers are deemed to have met the competency standards set by the government, including in the aspect of pedagogical competence.
Data collection in this research was carried out using three main techniques, namely questionnaires, observation and documentation.
Apart from questionnaires, observation is carried out as an additional data collection technique to directly observe how teachers apply their pedagogical competencies in the learning process.
Documentation is also used to obtain supporting data, such as a list of names of certified teachers, results of teacher performance evaluations from the school, as well as other documents relevant to this research.
This documentation data is used to strengthen the analysis results from questionnaires and observations, so that the research has a stronger and more valid database.
The research instruments used in this study were tested for validity and reliability before being used for data collection.
The validity test uses construct validity, namely by analyzing the correlation between items using the Pearson product-moment correlation Meanwhile, the reliability of the instrument was tested using Cronbach's Alpha, where an instrument is considered reliable if the Cronbach's Alpha value is greater than 0.
The collected data was analyzed using simple linear regression analysis techniques to determine the effect of pedagogical competence on the performance of certified teachers.
Before the regression analysis is carried out, the classical assumption test is first carried out, which includes the normality test, linearity test and heteroscedasticity test.
Hypothesis testing was carried out using the t-test to see the significance of the influence of pedagogical competence on teacher performance.
If the significance value .

is smaller than 0.
then HCA is rejected, which means there is a significant influence between pedagogical competence and teacher performance.
Conversely, if the significance value is greater than 05, then HCA is accepted, which means there is no significant influence between the two
