Abstract:
The purpose of this research to determine the relationship of the value of pedagogical
courses with the student’s teaching skills of economics education class of 2008 and 2009.
The method used in this research is using the Pearson product moment correlation and simple
linear regression. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship
between the value of pedagogical courses with the student’s teaching skills of Economic
Education 2008 and 2009 Faculty of teacher training and education science University of
Riau. Pearson product moment of reckoning with SPSS version 16 is r count (0.322) ≥ r
tables (0,316) or sig 0.04 < 0.05. It can be seen that the value of the variable course pedagogy
(X) has a positive and significant impact on student education teaching skills Economy class
of 2008 and 2009. From the calculated regression coefficient of determination (R2) is equal
to 10.4%, it can be seen that the value of the variable pedagogic courses jointly influence the
teaching skills with a contribution of 10.4%. Based on the F test shows that the F count > F
table value of 4.281 > 4.105 with a probability value (significance) of 0.046 for a significance
value 0.046 < 0.05, this means that the value of pedagogical courses are jointly significant
effect on teaching skills. Based on the test results which showed t count = 2.069, mean t
count > t table (2.069 > 1.687) and the probability value (significance) of 0.046 for a
significance value 0.046 < 0.05. This means that the value of Pedagogy Course significant
effect on teaching skills. So that the student Economics Education Riau University class of
