Abstract

Academic supervision has a significant impact on teachers' abilities in developing learning processes, including planning, implementation, and assessment of learning. This study aims to identify and analyze efforts to enhance teacher competence, as well as the inhibiting and supporting factors in the use of learning media through academic supervision at SDN 020 Penajam. The method used is descriptive qualitative, utilizing interview techniques with teacher informants at SDN 020 Penajam. Data analysis techniques employ the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results show that the role of the school principal as an academic supervisor is substantial and helps teachers improve their competence in using learning media in the classroom. Despite technical obstacles such as limited network access, the enthusiasm and commitment of the supervisor in guiding and motivating teachers are supportive factors in efforts to enhance teacher competence in using learning media at SDN 020 Penajam.

Abstract

This is a qualitative research study seeking to determine how leadership in schools can help in motivating teachers as well as improve on students’ performance. A prospective quantitative study is carried out in Penajam to compare the two research questions on how participatory and transformational leadership affects teacher engagement and its relation to the students’ outcomes. Conducting interviews with the teachers, the work confirms that-being receptive and open to all, the leaders undoubtedly enhance the motivation level of teachers and as a result – the levels of classroom activity, the creativity in approaching the tasks, and the achievements of students are also raised. On the other hand, autocratic leadership and other similar leadership practices were seen to have negative impacts on the motivation of the teachers and thus the students’ performance. The study brings into focus that teacher motivation, backed up by good leadership improves school climate, reduces lumpenism and enhances academic performance. Of particular relevance in the study is the need to maintain leadership support, proper resource provision and organizational support to keep the teachers motivated as well as to support long-term students’ outcomes. The findings of this study may be useful for school leaders as well as policymakers to pay timely attention towards the necessity of better leadership approach in order to improve education.
