INTRODUCTION
Education is a universal aspect that must always exist in human life.Without education, human life will not develop and be cultured.In addition, life will also become static without progress, and it may even experience decline and extinction.Therefore, it becomes an undeniable fact that education is important for human life.Along with the development of technology and the demands of the times, the teacher must have a better quality of human resources, hence the birth of a regulation called teacher certification, a measure in which teachers have been declared competent and professional educators.In the current era, teachers are required to have teaching competency standards that are programmed by the government in the form of teacher certification.Based on observations during pre-survey at Cikadut 1.3.5 Public Elementary School, Mandalajati District, Bandung City, it can be said that: 1.There has not been a significant difference between teachers who have received certification allowances and teachers who have not received certification allowance for improving teacher competencies 2. There are still teachers who ignore time discipline.
3. Although schools have conducted basic computer training, there are still many teachers who cannot use computers because they are not actively using computers.The focus that has been provided by the school is only used by a few teachers who really understand the way in which infokus works.4. Based on the pre-survey, there are still many teachers who do not understand the online learning system (www.edmodo.com)even though the Bandung City Government is incessantly implementing an online learning system (www.edmodo.com)for students so that students can utilize internet media true and effective especially for improving student learning achievement.5.There is no direct evaluation from the Central Government by going to schools to see the impact of providing certification benefits to students, teachers, schools and the surrounding community.
6. Certification allowances are mostly still used by teachers to meet personal needs and family welfare, while the allocation of funds for professional spending is not considered enough.7. Student learning achievement is focused on the cognitive value, because this aspect is often assessed by the teacher to see the mastery of knowledge as a measure of the achievement of student learning outcomes after learning.From the results of the pre-survey, most of the teachers stated that before and after the existence of certification allowances, student report cards did not experience a significant increase.Even though there is an increase, it is not too big and they consider the increase to be normal.Even though one of the objectives of c. Carry out duties as permanent teachers appointed by the Government, Regional Governments, or education units organized by the community and serve as teachers in education units that have operational permits from the Government or Regional Government.
d.Not bound as permanent workers in other agencies.e. Teach as subject teachers and / or classroom teachers in educational units that are in accordance with the designation of the educator certificate they have.
f. Registered with the department as a permanent teacher.
Teacher Certification according to the Directorate General of Quality Improvement of Teachers and Education Personnel (PMPTK) (Jalal, 2007), namely: "Teacher certification is the process of awarding educator certificates to teachers.Educator certificates are given to teachers who have met teacher professional standards.Professional teachers are an absolute requirement for creating quality education systems and practices." While the educator certificate according to Jalal (2007) is: "A certificate signed by the certification organizer's college as a formal proof of the professionalism of the teacher given to the teacher as a professional.The certification participants are teachers in positions who are civil servant teachers and not civil servants who have taught in education units, whether administered by the government or regional government, or the community that has operational permits from the local government." The National Commission on Education Services (NCES) provides a more general understanding of teacher certification (Mulyasa, 2007), namely: "Teacher certification is a procedure to determine whether a prospective teacher deserves permission and the authority to teach.This is necessary because graduates of teacher training institutions vary widely, both among state and private universities."Furthermore Mulyasa (2007), explaining about teacher certification is as follows: "Competency testing process for prospective teachers or teachers who want to obtain recognition and / or improve competence according to their chosen profession.Representation of meeting the competency standards that have been established in teacher certification is the certificate of educator competence.This certificate is evidence of recognition of the competence of teachers or prospective teachers who meet standards for doing teacher professional work on certain types and levels of education." Teacher competency is the ability, ability or skill to transfer knowledge and educate and guide students in the teaching and learning process.Professionals mean doing something as a main job as a profession and not as a filler of free time or as a mere hobby.A professional has the meaning of an expert with the knowledge he has in serving his work.Responsibility for his decisions both intellectual and attitude a sense of service upholds professional ethics in a dynamic organization.This can be seen from personal tasks that reflect a person (Syaiful Sagala, 2009) which consists of self-concept, self-idea, and reality or self reality.
The teacher as an educator (Syaiful Sagala, 2009) is the one who most interacts and interacts with students compared to other members of the school.The teacher is tasked with planning and implementing the learning process, assessing learning outcomes, conducting guidance and training, conducting research and assessment and opening communication with the community.
Professional ability (Buchari Alma, 2008) is the ability to master teaching material widely and in depth as well as appropriate teaching methods and techniques that are understood by students, easily captured, do not cause difficulties and doubts.
Teacher professional competence related to the field of study, according to Slameto (Syaiful Sagala, 2009) consists of sub competencies: 1. Understand subjects that have been prepared to teach.
2. Understanding the competency standards and the content standards of the subjects listed in the Ministerial Regulation and teaching materials in the education unit level curriculum.
3. Understanding the structure, concepts, and scientific methods that cover teaching material.(c) matters concerning behavior, skills and appearance (psychomotor).

METHOD
In this study using quantitative data type.Data obtained from data sources at SD Negeri Cikadut 1,3,5 Mandalajati District, Bandung City.The types of data in the study can be grouped into the main things namely quantitative data.Quantitative data is data in the form of numbers or qualitative data that is assumed, namely the analysis of data using statistical formulas namely the analysis of correlation coefficients and hypothesis testing.The use of numbers makes it easy to interpret results objectively.And the data source is primary, which is obtained directly from consumers who are used as respondents through questionnaires.Furthermore, to test the variables in this study using path analysis (path analysis).Path Analysis model is used to analyze the pattern of relationships between variables with the aim to determine the direct and indirect effects of a set of independent variables (exogenous) on the dependent variable (endogenous) (Sugiyono, 2015).
Primary Data Research was obtained from questionnaires (questionnaire).

Result
The variables in this study were certification allowance (X), teacher competence variable (Y) and student learning achievement variable (Z), the correlation coefficient among the three variables was calculated using the product moment correlation formula, using the help of SPSS Software program (Statistical Product and Service Solution ) version 21 with the following results: Based on the SPSS output table above, it is known that the correlation coefficient or R value obtained between the certification allowance (X) with the teacher's competence (Y) is 0.586.Positive correlation values included in the category are quite strong, with intervals (0.400 -0.599) which indicates that there is a fairly strong and positive relationship between the certification allowance and teacher competency, where the higher the certification allowance, the better the teacher's competence will be.
Then the relationship between teacher competency with student learning achievement of 0.708 is included in the strong category, with intervals (0.600 -0.799) which indicates that there is a strong and positive relationship between teacher competency and student learning achievement, where the better the teacher's competence, it will be followed by the better student achievement.

Discussion
From the available data after analyzing the validity and reliability, then a description analysis is carried out.The aim is to describe the research variables both independent variables (free / exogenous) and dependent (bound / endogenous).The results of the analysis can be explained as follows:

A. Variable Effect of Certification Allowances (X)
