The subject of this study involved a sample of 6th grade teachers in Blitar City, totaling 55 teachers consisting of 14 male teachers and 41 female teachers with an age range of 26 - 59 years.

There are 4 teachers with less than five years of teaching experience, 18 teachers with five to ten years of teaching experience, 10 teachers of eleven to fifteen years of teaching experience and 23 teachers who teach more than fifteen years. Data collection is done by filling out the Google form. Data analysis was carried out simultaneously and integrated descriptively.
