Keyword: Teacher Personality Competence. Learning Effectiveness. Teacher Personal Qualities INTRODUCTION Teacher Competence is a set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that must be possessed, experienced, and mastered by a teacher in carrying out his/her professional duties. In Indonesia, the government has established four essential competencies that teachers must possess, as outlined in the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 16 of 2007. These Copyright . 2024 EDUCATIONAL : Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan dan Pengajaran EDUCATIONAL : Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan dan Pengajaran Vol. 4 No. 4 November 2024 E-ISSN : 2775-2593 P-ISSN : 2775-2585 Online Journal System : https://jurnalp4i. com/index. php/educational competencies include pedagogical, professional, personality, and social competencies. These competencies are designed to help teachers effectively develop learning materials and improve their professionalism in carrying out their duties. A teacherAos personality competence not only reflects maturity, integrity, and wisdom but also positively influences the school environment and society. A teacher who demonstrates strong personality competence becomes a role model for students, inspiring them to emulate positive behaviors. Consequently, the way a teacher teaches directly impacts how students A teacher who is capable of delivering effective instruction not only enhances students' cognitive abilities but also contributes to the development of a smart, skilled, and characterdriven nation. Novi Riani . explains that teachersAo competence is used to plan, guide, and develop behavior and performance. This means that a teacher's competence must be integrated into every aspect of the teaching process, from planning to execution. Teachers must pay attention to what, when, and how to deliver materials in a way that matches the cognitive development level of their students. Therefore, personality competence is crucial in determining student success in the learning process. Hirlan Maulana . describes personality competence as the ability to remain steadfast, stable, mature, wise, and dignified, while also serving as a role model for students. According to the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 16 of 2007, a teacher's personality competence is assessed based on five indicators: . acting in accordance with religious, legal, social, and cultural norms of Indonesia. presenting oneself as an honest person with noble character and a role model for students and society. demonstrating stability, maturity, wisdom, and authority. showing work ethic, high responsibility, pride in being a teacher, and self-confidence. upholding the teacher's professional code of ethics. However, the reality of the initial research results shows that there are two indicators of teacher personality competence that have not been fully fulfilled, especially the second and fourth indicators, namely: Second Indicator: Demonstrating oneself as an honest person with noble character and serving as a good role model for students and society. Fourth Indicator: Demonstrating a strong work ethic, responsibility, pride in being a teacher, and self-confidence. This indicator emphasizes the importance of teachers being exemplary figures in terms of moral behavior and integrity. However, based on observations, the English teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Botomuzoi have not fully managed to discipline themselves, particularly in time This lack of time discipline affects their ability to be role models for students. For instance, if a teacher often arrives late or is inconsistent with their schedule, it sets a poor example for students, who should learn the importance of discipline from their teacher. Being a role model is a key aspect of shaping students' character. When a teacher displays honesty, a strong work ethic, and good moral values, students are more likely to follow that example. However, if the teacher struggles with time management and fails to consistently demonstrate expected behaviors, their positive influence on students diminishes. This challenge is important to address so that teachers can serve as effective models for students, helping them develop discipline and responsibility. This indicator relates to how a teacher demonstrates commitment and pride in their duties as an educator. Observations indicate that some English teachers have not fully reflected a strong work ethic, high responsibility, or pride in being a teacher. This can affect their motivation in teaching as well as how they are perceived by students and the community. For example, if a teacher does not show enthusiasm or pride in their profession, it can negatively impact the quality of their teaching and their relationships with students.

On the other hand, a lack of pride or commitment may lead to dissatisfaction in their work, ultimately affecting the teaching-learning process. Researchers hope that both indicators can be improved by improving teachers' personality competencies. Teachers need to pay more attention to time management, so that they can provide good examples of discipline for students. In addition, teachers also need to improve their work ethic, responsibility, and pride in their profession, because this not only affects personal performance but also shapes students' attitudes and behavior. To achieve this, support is needed from the school in the form of special training or mentoring for teachers. Improving these competencies will help create a more positive and productive learning environment in schools.

Therefore, teachers are required to possess adequate personality competency to foster character development effectively. Teachers as an important component in education have a great contribution to the process and achievement of student success. The teacher's task as a teacher and educator is not only to convey knowledge, but also as an active intermediary for noble and noble moral values and norms for the provision of community life. As an educator, he has a great responsibility in realizing what is the goal of education, in accordance with national education which aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings who believe and fear God Almighty, have noble morals, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and become democratic and responsible citizens. In carrying out his duties and obligations, a teacher, in addition to mastering knowledge, must also have other competencies that support the achievement of educational goals. One of these competencies is personality competency. Personality competency is the ability to have faith and piety, have noble morals, be wise and prudent, democratic, have a strong, steady and mature personality, be authoritative, honest, sporty, be a role model for students and the community, assess one's own performance objectively, and develop oneself independently and sustainably.

The teacher has the ability to believe and be pious which can be seen in the implementation of the learning process sincerely and in educating students according to religious teachings. Teachers also adapt to the school environment. Adaptation is the teacher's ability to position themselves in that environment. Teachers adapt in the classroom, in the teacher's room, in the school environment and among the entire school community. Through adaptation, teachers can show their role in the school environment. Brown . in Oktviana et al. divides it into several teacher roles, namely the main role model, leader, knowledgeable person, manager, counselor, mentor, and sometimes teachers must also be able to act as friends, confidants, and parents. Based on the results of the study. English teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Botomuzoi adapt to the environment.

Teachers are expected to be able to establish effective communication between fellow educators, parents, and students. One way that English teachers use to achieve good communication is for teachers to apply politeness and empathy towards others. The book . in Okarisma et al. , states that communication functions as a means of interacting with others and being able to convey messages to others. Furthermore, teachers always adapt to the school environment and learning developments. Based on the results of the researcher's interview, the researcher can conclude that English teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Botomuzoi have and apply personality competencies in teaching English. The Research Findings Implications The results of this study reveal implications for teacher competence. A teacher must be able to provide the best for his/her students. The success of the student learning process is largely determined by the teacher's competence. Teacher competence is the ability of teachers as part of society to communicate and interact effectively with students, fellow educators, education personnel, parents/guardians of students, and the surrounding community. This is because teachers are learning leaders, facilitators, and at the same time the center of learning Therefore, teachers must continue to develop their abilities. Because what the Copyright . 2024 EDUCATIONAL : Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan dan Pengajaran EDUCATIONAL : Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan dan Pengajaran Vol. 4 No. 4 November 2024 E-ISSN : 2775-2593 P-ISSN : 2775-2585 Online Journal System : https://jurnalp4i. com/index. php/educational teacher conveys becomes a guideline for increasing students' insight and abilities. Thus, the teacher's understanding of his/her role, both in the learning process in general, and his/her role in language learning, especially English, must be carried out properly. With the aim that learning objectives can be achieved properly as well. Because English in Indonesia is taught and studied as a foreign language, especially in the classroom, the role of the teacher becomes very important because the teacher is the main source and facilitator of knowledge and skills in the language. An English teacher is expected to be able to play two roles at once, namely teaching English and making the teaching and learning process as interesting as possible in order to involve students in learning. Teacher competence refers more to the teacher's ability to In carrying out their duties as educators, teachers will build effective communication relationships with fellow educators and also parents of students.
