The activities of the Teacher Working Group (KKG) are expected to be
able to overcome the learning problems faced by teachers in the classroom so that
the learning process is more effective, quality, and can improve the quality of
national education. The government sets the minimum competency standard
(SKM) for UKG in 2017 to be 70.0. Kemdikbud data shows that the average
national UKG result is 53.02. This average shows that the competence of teachers
is still below the minimum competency standard (SKM) targeted by the
government. The activities of the Teacher Working Group and the 2017 UKG
results illustrate the performance of teachers in the field. This study aims to
identify: 1) the effect of teacher working group (KKG) activities on teacher
performance, 2) the effect of competency tests on teacher performance and 3) the
effect of teacher working group (KKG) activities and competency tests on the
performance of class VI elementary school teachers in Gumelar District. This

determination of the sample in this study was purposive sampling, in which the
determination of the sample was carried out through certain considerations,
namely that only grade VI teachers. The number of samples is 34 people. The
