The act of teaching is not a simple force but rather a complicated process infused with a variety of competencies, maxims, principles, and methods. This greatly enhances a teacher educator's ability to effectively carry out the teaching process, which in turn facilitates the attainment of pedagogical goals related to content mastery, conceptualization, and praxis. Therefore, we can conclude that a teacher educator's competency in teaching encompasses not just abilities, competences, concepts, maxims, and ways of teaching. It has been discovered that various characteristics, including marital status, age, teaching experience, educational credentials, geographic location, subject matter taught, and management style, all play a role in shaping teachers' levels of competence. Competencies such as these have been found to have an effect on teaching competency: pedagogical expertise, research expertise, curriculum expertise, lifelong competence, computer literacy, cultural awareness, interpersonal skills, and emotional intelligence. Therefore, the teaching ability of women teacher educators is determined by the sum of all these competences.
