This research is motivated by the important role of teachers in advancing education, but there are still various problems with teacher competence that have an impact on the quality of learning. The purpose of this study is to examine trends, dominant topics, active researchers, and potential renewable issues regarding teacher competence during the period 2010-2025. The approach used is quantitative with bibliometric research method. The main data source comes from 500 publications in the Google Scholar database extracted using the Publish or Perish application and visualized with VOSviewer. The research was conducted in April 2025 and analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques. The results showed that the publication trend increased since 2010, peaked in 2020, and decreased dramatically in 2025. The dominant source of publication is e-journals as many as 386 sources (80%), and the most productive researchers come from Padang State University as many as 4 people including Fivia Eliza, Rahmat Hidayat, Dwiprima Elvanny Myori, and Doni Tri Putra with each producing 2 publications (a total of 6 publications). Dominant topics include PMM, professional competence, and teacher performance. The conclusions indicate the need to strengthen teacher competencies through more in-depth research. Limitations of this study include the non-use of international scale data and limited visualization. Further recommendations include the use of the Scopus database and a broader exploration of the dynamics of teacher competence globally.
