Pedagogical competency is the ability to manage student learning which includes understanding students, designing and implementing learning, evaluating learning outcomes, and developing students to actualize the various potentials they have. Professional competence is the ability to master learning material broadly and in depth which enables it to guide students to meet established competency standards. The importance of motivation in learning is determining the reinforcement of learning. Motivation can play a role in strengthening learning if a student who is studying is faced with a problem that requires a solution, and can only be solved thanks to the help of the things he has gone through.
