Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan mengajar, pengetahuan profesional, dan efektivitas pengajaran mereka. Namun, banyak guru memiliki kompetensi rendah bahkan setelah mengikuti program pengembangan profesional guru. Skor kompetensi guru yang rendah dapat dilihat dari hasil tes kompetensi guru. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif untuk menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap kompetensi guru.
