Abstract

Teachers have a role as professionals. This position demands the continuous improvement of skills and quality of teacher training. This research aims to describe the implementation of teacher certification policy in the Religious Affairs Office of the District Tegal. In addition, this study will look at what factors hinder the implementation of teacher certification policies, as well as the implementation of teacher certification policies towards improving teacher performance at the Religious Affairs Office of the District Tegal. This study uses qualitative descriptive methods. Data analysis techniques use interactive models. The results showed that the implementation of the teacher certification policy in the Religious Affairs Office of the District Tegal runned well.  Based on the Edward III policy implementation model consisting of four variables, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, only resources in the managing staff dimension have not been able to describe the instructions of the head of the section and bureaucratic structure on the dimensions of speed and accuracy of file delivery that still need to be improved. The inhibiting factor in the implementation of teacher certification policies in the Religious Affairs Office of the District Tegal is the tendency of managing staff to wait for orders and lack initiative. Through the teacher performance improvement program, especially against teacher certification programs, teachers are expected to be able to improve the mastery of competence as a learning agent including pedagogical competence, personality competence, social competence, and professional competence, all of which will have an impact on improving teacher performance.
