The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of teachers of SMAN 3 Selong so that the performance criteria of teachers who teach well and are good enough can be known. To help the process of analyzing teacher performance accurately, a method of data mining is needed by applying a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). Based on the results of the experiments conducted using the PSO-based SVM (support vector machine) method (particle swarm optimization), by training 55 data records, 29 teachers were expected to be good performing teachers, 25 teachers with fairly good performance and 1 teacher It is estimated that it is quite good but has a good performance, with an accuracy of 98.33%.DOI : 10.29408/jit.v2i2.144
