The results of the study show that the competence of the teacher greatly influences the learning process, this then has an impact on the low learning process, because it cannot stimulate children's development optimally, the media is not varied and the method is not in accordance with the characteristics of the child. In addition, teachers' understanding of learning design is still minimal which causes the learning process to be less interesting.
