Abstract

This study investigates the academic supervision practices implemented by the principals of SMP Negeri 1 Manggeng and SMP Negeri 1 Setia, focusing on the essential elements of planning, execution, follow-up, and the overcoming of challenges to improve the quality of learning. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis to understand the multifaceted nature of academic supervision and its critical role in fostering educational excellence. The findings highlight the importance of collaborative planning between principals, vice principals, and teachers to establish clear supervision goals, schedules, and objectives. Such collaboration ensures that academic supervision aligns with educational goals and addresses the specific needs of teachers, significantly contributing to their preparedness and responsiveness. Effective implementation of academic supervision is identified as crucial for realizing planned objectives, employing strategies like classroom visits, observations, and individual discussions to assess and enhance teachers' instructional practices. However, challenges such as scheduling conflicts and the principals' workload highlight the need for adaptability and strategic delegation to maintain momentum in supervision activities. The study further reveals the significance of follow-up actions in translating the insights gained from supervision into tangible improvements in teaching and learning. Constructive feedback, guidance, and recognition of teachers' efforts by principals are essential in promoting a culture of continuous professional development. Addressing the challenges encountered during academic supervision necessitates flexibility, improved communication, and a commitment to providing professional development opportunities for teachers. The research concludes that academic supervision by school principals is integral to enhancing the quality of learning. Through strategic planning, effective implementation, and constructive follow-up, principals can lead their schools toward achieving higher educational standards, despite the challenges of academic supervision. This study underscores the central role of leadership in academic supervision and offers recommendations for educational policy and practice to support effective supervision processes.

Abstract

The Continuous Professional Development (PKB) Program for teachers is a systematic process of activities that teachers undertake to examine, assess, or reflect on their teaching practices after conducting teaching and learning activities to improve their professional competence. The purpose of this study is to determine the management, implementation, and obstacles of the Continuous Professional Development (PKB) Program through Teacher Working Groups (KKG) in Public Elementary Schools in Babahrot District. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with descriptive research. The research subjects are 15 classroom teachers, consisting of 7 classroom teachers who are members of the Teacher Working Group (KKG) at the elementary school level in Babahrot District, Southwest Aceh Regency, 7 school principals, and 1 school supervisor. Data collection techniques used by the researcher are observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that 1) The management of the Continuous Professional Development (PKB) Program through Teacher Working Groups (KKG) in Public Elementary Schools in Babahrot District has not been fully implemented. The planning and organization indicators are good, but the program accountability, which includes KKG activity reports, does not meet the criteria. The evaluation and follow-up indicators have been implemented well. 2) The implementation of the Continuous Professional Development (PKB) Program through Teacher Working Groups (KKG) in Public Elementary Schools in Babahrot District has not been fully optimal. The limited facilities and infrastructure, internet access, and skills in using technology hinder teacher participation in KKG activities. 3) The obstacles in implementing the PKB Program in Public Elementary Schools in Babahrot District are coordinating KKG schedules, limited funding or resources, difficulties in implementing KKG learning into the classroom, and limited internet access or technology skills.
