The adequate teaching experience is the time that has been passed by the teachers in doing their job. It will support learning achievement so that the learning goals can be reached well. Teaching experience is one of the most important things to focus in determining teacher’s performance. The teachers’ motivation in school can be said as both simple and complex problems. To give motivation for an employee is usually said as the complex problem since the motivation involves the individual factors and organizational factors. The high or low motivation will influence their performance. This research aims to know the influences of teaching experience and teachers’ motivation in teachers’ performance in SMP Negeri 2 Rokan IV Koto Rokan Hulu Regency. The total of sample is 17 teachers, by using the questionnaire as the research instrument. In processing data found, the researcher used Chi Square. The research finding showed that there is no influence of teaching experience in teacher’s performance. It is expected can be caused by some factors; the teachers is not skilled enough in preparing lesson plan, tend to copy the original material of lesson plan from related sources, only focus on the text books, and they don’t want to upgrade their teaching skills. Indeed, the teachers’ motivations are supposed to give influence to the teachers’ performance. Hence, the teachers should increase their motivation in order to increase their performance as well. Furthermore, the headmaster should motivate them in doing their jobs by giving appreciation and promotion to them.en-USTeaching ExperienceMotivationTeacher PerformanceArticle
