Data collection methods included questionnaires and documentation. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression using SPSS. The results indicate that teacher competence, together with teacher discipline, significantly influences students' Aqidah Akhlak learning achievement. Hypothesis testing revealed a significance value for the simultaneous influence of teacher competence and discipline on student achievement with Fcount (28.831) > Ftable (4.46). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.892 indicates that 89.2% of the variation in student learning achievement can be explained by teacher competence and discipline, while 10.8% is explained by other factors.
