Enhancing the Quality of Mathematics Learning through Strengthening Pedagogical Competencies, Effectiveness of Project Based Learning Creativity and Achievement Motivation

Abstract

The intensity of systemic linkages and synergy among teachers, students, curriculum, learning materials, media, facilities, and learning systems in producing optimal learning processes and outcomes in accordance with curricular demands defines the quality of learning. The quality of learning is a crucial element related to achieving educational goals. Various educational development reports indicate that the quality of mathematics learning at private vocational schools in Bogor Regency does not meet expectations, both in terms of educational goals and competency demands. Therefore, research is necessary to gather information on variables related to improving the quality of learning. The aim of this research is to implement strategies and methods to enhance the quality of learning by investigating the influence of variables such as pedagogical competence, effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL), creativity, achievement motivation, and learning quality. This research employs the path analysis method to determine the influence among the studied variables and the SITOREM method for indicator analysis to develop strategies and methods for improving the quality of learning.
