Abstract

Pedagogical competence is one of the competencies that every teacher must possess, consisting of the ability to understand the characteristics of students, design and implement educational learning, and conduct comprehensive learning evaluations. In elementary education, pedagogical competence is crucial for creating meaningful and student-centered learning experiences. In this context, enhancing teachers' pedagogical competence in elementary schools is a critical issue for improving the quality of education in Indonesia, given the strategic role teachers play in designing, implementing, and evaluating the learning process. This study aims to analyze strategies to improve the pedagogical competence of primary school teachers in Indonesia through a literature review. The method used is a systematic literature review, namely by analyzing 10 articles published in accredited national and international journals between 2015 and 2025. The parts reviewed include abstracts, backgrounds, research results, and conclusions on each article reviewed. Based on the results of the review, it can be concluded that some of the ways that can be done to improve teachers' pedagogical abilities are conducting structured and continuous supervision by school principals so that teachers are able to design Learning Implementation Plans (RPP), manage classroom learning well and implement better assessments. In addition, the implementation of innovative learning strategies is also able to optimize the learning process in the classroom by implementing lesson study learning strategies based on the results of observation and reflection. Teachers need to utilize technological advances in learning, collaborate between teachers and school stakeholders so as to improve their pedagogical competence and attend training that can improve teacher skills in teaching. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of strategies to improve teachers' pedagogical competencies directly in order to expand the scope of study in the field of elementary schools and inclusive schools, especially in disadvantaged areas, which will form the basis for policy formulation in efforts to improve teacher competencies in a sustainable manner in Indonesia.
