Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of teacher performance and school facilities on improving the quality of learning in public elementary schools in Sekayu. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population consisted of all public elementary school teachers in Sekayu, and samples were selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that teacher performance had a positive and significant effect on learning quality. Likewise, adequate school facilities also had a significant impact on improving learning quality. Simultaneously, teacher performance and school facilities contributed greatly to the improvement of learning quality in Sekayu public elementary schools. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing teacher professionalism and providing adequate learning facilities to achieve quality education.
