Knowledge and skills in various aspects of teaching are essential to improving teachers’ confidence in school.

The data from the questionnaires were analyzed descriptively and inferred. This method was chosen because there were many advantages and it was in line with this study. Among its benefits according to (Mok, 2010) is a survey method suitable for measuring opinions, achievements and sample attitudes.

There are 18 PPIA branches in Singapore with more teachers less than 80 people.

Based on the table of determinants of the sample, the appropriate number of samples was 66 people because the total population of teachers had approached 80 people. The items of job satisfaction were modified from the questionnaires used by Mat (1997).
