Academic Supervision In Improving The Quality Of Education Through Teacher Competency And Performance Intervention At Junior School Level In Bireuen District

Abstract

Academic supervision is one of the main duties and responsibilities of the school principal. This research aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation of school principal supervision to improve the quality of education. The research was carried out in Bireuen Regency by distributing questionnaires to school principals and teachers in two selected schools. The research method used in the research is descriptive with a mixed-method approach. The research results show that the principal of the SMPN studied has carried out academic supervision duties. Of all the tasks, the task of motivating teachers to utilize information technology in learning in each subject is the task that has the highest accomplishment. On the other hand, the task with the least success is guiding teachers to prepare the syllabus for each subject following the applicable curriculum. Thus, the implementation of academic supervision by school principals in several areas still needs to be improved.
