1 INTRODUCTION

Public Vocational High School is a formal education

institution that is aimed to implement education

program toward the supplying skill so as students

able to complete their studies and empowered in the

industrial works. Vocational High School consist of

economy, agriculture, maritime and technology

groups is a formal institution, which is aimed to

improve intelligence, knowledge, personality, noble

character, and skill for living independently and

participate in education (Republic of Indonesia’s

Government Regulation, 2005). Vocational high

education is aimed to prepare the students mainly to

for work in such field (The Laws of Republic of

Indonesia,2003). Well educated generation in this

institution will be professional technician

accordance with their skill that can be counted on to

support national development including the

development in Tomohon municipality.

In Vocational High School (SMK), the problem

of learning achievement is very important to play a

role in the work later or can continue to a further

education, but obviously them who graduation from

vocational high school with less ability in science

fields, as the results the adjustment against education

level experiences many problems, mainly related to

lesson adjustment.

The existing comprehension is that learning is

limited to get knowledge and skill, (such as reading,

writing, and others various skills). In fact, learning is

wider than those, so individual learns various habits,

attitudes, and values. Achievement can be seen

from indicators; (a) decision against all of

organization stated regulations, (b) can carry out his

assignments without any mistakes (or in lowest level

of mistakes), (c) Accuracy in doing assignments

(Simamora, 2000). Learning is a process of effort

carried out by someone to get a new behavior

change in a whole, as a result of his experiences in

the interaction with his environment (Slameto,

2010). In simply from learning definition as stated

by statement above, can be taken a comprehension

about the essence of learning activity is a change

that’s occurred inside the individual hisself.

Learning achievement is the output reached by a

student after carry out learning process. The output’s

reached then will get a space in the treasury of

student’s knowledge, and every comprehension will

influence the structure of the treasury itself totally

(Hamalik, 1992). Learning achievement is a level of

competency gaining that’s owned by students and

they receive the learning experiences in a certain

range of time (Sudirman and Felows, 1991).

Learning achievement is a prove of learning success

or student individual ability in carry out his learning

activity accordance with his achieving quality

(Winkel, 1996).

Learning achievement is every behavior owned

by student as the result of the learning process taking

off, covers all the result from all learning process in

the school both cognitive, affective, or psychomotor

(Sanjaya, 2008). Learning achievement is maturity

reached by one in thinking, feeling, and acting.

Learning achievement will be completed if fulfill the

the three aspects namely: cognitive, affective, and

psychomotor, otherwise it said that the achievement

unsatisfy if someone unable to fulfil the target in

those of three categories (Nasution, 2011).

Based on definition above, that learning

achievement is a humanity level owned by students

in receive, refuse, and assess the informations given

from teaching learning process. One’s learning

achievement is accordance with level of success of

thing in learning lesson material stated in form of

value or raport in each field of studies after

experiencing the teaching learning process. Students

learning achievement will be known after carried out

the evaluation. The results from evaluation can show

about high or low the students learning achievement

The definition of competency is a characteristic can

be proved by individual that make it possible the

work performance (Dessler, 2005). The

characteristics include knowledge and technical and

intrapersonal skills (Robbins, 2005). Competency as

a knowledge, skill, and quality from effective

manager/leader (Rudman, 2000). Further more it

said that competency is characteristic which is

underlying individual. It can be a motive, character,

skill, aspect from individual self image or social

role, or a group of knowledge that he’s used

(Rudman, 2000).

Competency is main component from

professional standard beside ethics code as

regulation of professional berhavior stated in certain

controlling procedure and system. Competency is

defined and interpreted as a set of effective behavior

related with exploration and investigation, analyze,

and thinking, also giving attention, apperception that

leads someone finding the ways to reach the certain

goals effectively and efficiently. The important

characteristics of competencies are: 1) Describe the

main skills that can result effective performance at

individual work level; 2) Giving the structure way to

describe behavior and giving to organization a

common comprehension; 3) As basic for selection

and development of staffs, giving job framework

and clear focus for worker withdrawal, valuation,

performance review, and training, and 4) Training is

preffered on later performance (Mulyasa, 2012).

Teacher competency in this research is expertise

owned by a teacher with specific characteristic based

on expertise competency which is taught or is given

to the students such as knowledge to manage

learning plan, learning process, and learning

evaluation, to carry out a thing so as can measure the

teacher competency influence against learning

achievement.

2 RESEARCH OUTPUT SESSION

From the calculation output of teacher competency

against student learning achievement the value of

Sig (2-tailed) is 0,001, evidently the probability

value is 0,05 bigger than probability value of Sig (2-

tailed) or 0,05 > 0,001, then Ho is rejected and Ha is

accepted means significant. The output calculation

of value R = 0.515 and determination coefficient is

0,265 shows that 26.50% is the variant occurred at

learning achievement of students SMK Negeri 1

Tomohon. Based on the output of hypothesis test,

shows that there is a significant influence of teacher

competency against student achievement. The result

of this research shows that teacher competency

contribution against student learning achievement is

26.50%. The output of hypothesis test proves that

there is an influence of teacher competency against

student learning achievement. Meant, high or low of

teacher competency will influence against high or

low the student learning achievement. The higher

competency of teacher, also the higher student

learning achievement. Otherwise, the lower

competency of teacher, also the lower student

learning achievement. This result is supported by

others researcher results and the theories that reveals

the existing of influence between teacher

competency against student learning achievement.

Among others are competency of teacher

characteristic has positive and significant influence

against student learning achievement through

student learning motivation, so it can be concluded

School-1 (SMK Negeri 1) Tomohon

that the higher teacher characteristic competency

through student learning motivation, then the higher

student learning achievement (Nur and Hadijah

2016). Then teacher competency has positive and

significant influence against student learning

achievement. Therefore, teacher as education

administrator must always develop himself

independently and not depend on the headmaster and

supervisor initiatives, so can result the students who

have living ability generally nor specifically

(Sutardi, 2016). Furthermore there is a significant

influence of teacher performance against learning

achievement of student vocational practice (Linda

and Sudira, 2015). The excellent teacher has five

components, namely (a) work with student

individually; (b) teaching plan and preparation; (c)

empowering teaching tool (d) involve the student in

various experiences; and (e) living leadership from

the teacher. So that can be said that competency

which is owned by every teacher shows the quality

of the teacher in carry out the lesson. The

competency is started from how the teacher’s ability

to arrange the lesson plan program and carry out that

lesson plan (Hasan, 2017). Teacher’s quality is key

element of academic success of the student (Richard

Buddin and Zamarro, 2009). Further the student

perception about teaching competency of the teacher

in mastering the materials is laid in good category;

student perception about teaching competency of the

teacher in managing class is laid in good category;

student perception about teaching competency of the

teacher in using teaching method is laid in good

category; student perception about teaching

competency of the teacher in using media of

learning is laid in very good category; student

perception about teaching competency of the teacher

in learning evaluation is laid in very good category;

student perception about teaching competency of the

teacher in mastering learning material is laid in good

category; and student perception about teaching

competency of the teacher in using learning media is

laid in good category (Marianus, 2015). Pedagogy

competency of teacher in drawing lesson of top

construction in the expertise program of Building

Drawing Technic at vocational high school in

Surabaya’s area is good enough. It’s shown with the

analysis output calculation is got the number of

110,8 means that based on normal distribution

calculation the number is included in high category.

Teacher pedagogy competency of drawing lesson of

top construction at the expertise program of Building

Drwaing Technic in vocational high school in

Surabaya’s region is good and able to give positive

contribution against the student, because that factor

is a determinant for the success in teaching learning

activity process (Luthfiyah, 2013).

This research design is quantitative research with

correlational research approach. While to analyse the

influence of one variable with other is used

regression equation. Regression analysis is used to

analyse the influence pattern between variables

which is aimed to know the direct influence or

indirect influence of a set independent variables

(exogen) against dependent variables (endogen).

3 CONCLUSION

According to research output, then can be concluded

that teacher competency gives significant influence

against learning achievement of the students of SMK

Negeri 1 Tomohon (Public Vocational High

Schoool-1 of Tomohon). Means that improving

teacher competency such knowledge to manage

learning plan, learning process, will improve student

learning achievement in this way in the level of

ability had been achieved by student after follows

the learning process in certain time such as the

change of behavior which is related to knowledge,

attitude and skill had been got along follows the

measured learning activity and put in the form of

value will be got through evaluation against learning

process. Or in improving the student learning

achievement must regard teacher competency in real

to give significant contribution.
