Teachers' Personal Competence and Students' Achievement

A Correlational Study in the Context of English Language Education

Abstract

This study examined the correlation between teachers' personality qualities and students' academic achievement in English.  This quantitative study attempted to discover whether there is a correlation between these two variables. The study involved 3 English teachers from MGMP at Sorong and 55 students selected using simple random sampling. To collect data, the researchers employed questionnaires to assess the teachers' personality traits and document analysis to evaluate students' learning achievements. The Pearson Product Moment analysis technique examined the correlation between the two variables. The findings revealed a low correlation between English teachers' personality and students' learning achievements. Other factors may be more significant in determining student outcomes.
