Accordingly, as the educator, teachers are often seen as the main and first factors that determine the quality of learning. Teachers are required to have high motivation and adequate pedagogic competence in performing their duties. In fact, the fulfillment of qualifications and pedagogic competence of teachers is becoming the fundamental issues in education held at Madrasah.
