Abstract

The quality of learning in schools is an important factor in educating the nation's life. Academic supervision by school principals is an effort made to improve the quality of learning. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of the academic supervision program by school principals in improving the quality of learning in public primary schools in Babahrot District, Southwest Aceh Regency. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach, using interviews, observations, and documentation studies as data collection techniques. The results showed that: (1) The academic supervision program is prepared at the beginning of the semester in teacher meetings, adjusted to the actual situation in each school, with a focus on planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning; (2) The implementation of the program involves three stages: pre-observation meetings, classroom observations, and post-observation meetings, using a collaborative approach and individual and group techniques; (3) Principals conduct follow-up by analyzing and evaluating the results of observations on an ongoing basis; (4) Obstacles include many other activities that interfere with the supervision schedule, lack of interest and motivation to become a supervisor, and lack of knowledge and skills related to academic supervision. Lack of commitment from principals and teachers is also an obstacle in supporting the implementation of academic supervision.

Abstract

The concept of quality management has developed significantly in both the industrial and educational sectors. In education, one of the quality management concepts is School-Based Management (SBM). The purpose of this study is to determine: (1) The implementation of programs for autonomy, partnerships, participation, transparency, and accountability; (2) Support and obstacles in the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM); and (3) Internal/external interventions in the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM) at Tunas Bangsa Exemplary Public Senior High School and 1st Public Senior High School in Aceh Barat Daya District. Data collection techniques include: observation, interviews, and documentary studies. The research subjects include school principals, educators, education personnel, and school committees. Data analysis uses a quantitative approach to draw conclusions from the percentage results of the research and a qualitative approach starting from data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study are: (1) The implementation of the School-Based Management (SBM) program at Tunas Bangsa Exemplary Public Senior High School and 1st Public Senior High School in Aceh Barat Daya District has been carried out well, but efforts are still being made to further improve the quality of education. There are five basic principles implemented in School-Based Management: autonomy, partnerships, participation, transparency, and accountability. (2) Factors supporting the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM) at Tunas Bangsa Exemplary Public Senior High School and 1st Public Senior High School in Aceh Barat Daya District are the leadership of the principal that is capable, effective, and efficient, support from parents and the community, the performance of teachers and school staff, and government support. The inhibiting factors are the still limited understanding of school members and related parties regarding the implementation of SBM as well as communication and coordination that still need to be built. (3) There are no internal or external interventions in the implementation of SBM at Tunas Bangsa Exemplary Public Senior High School and 1st Public Senior High School in Aceh Barat Daya District. Efforts that can be made by the principal to minimize interventions include more frequent socialization of community participation in education, and deepening management knowledge by sending teachers to attend trainings.

Abstract

Elementary schools need personnel (school principals, teachers, administrative staff, security guards, and librarians), facilities (textbooks, teacher manuals, library books, teaching aids, office supplies, and furniture), infrastructure (land, buildings, libraries, and sports fields), and costs (school operational costs, building procurement costs, educational equipment costs, and book procurement costs). This study aims to determine: (1) Planning, procurement, utilization, maintenance, and elimination of educational facilities in Setia District Elementary Schools. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentary studies. The results show the importance of educational facility and infrastructure management as support for learning activities. Detailed planning is required for the procurement of facilities and infrastructure that are in line with needs and field conditions. Educational facilities and infrastructure should be utilized effectively and efficiently to support the education process. Maintenance of facilities and infrastructure should also be done regularly to keep them in good condition. Damaged items should be reported to be replaced promptly with new ones.

Abstract

This study examines the role of academic supervision by supervisors in improving the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers in Setia District, Southwest Aceh Regency. The research focuses on four key aspects: planning, implementation, follow-up, and challenges faced during the academic supervision process. The study employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. Techniques for ensuring data validity included persistent observation and triangulation. The subjects consisted of two supervisors, two principals, and four teachers from two elementary schools in the district. The key findings were: (1) Academic supervision planning by supervisors to enhance teachers' pedagogical competence was conducted at the beginning of the academic year, involving supervisors, principals, and teachers. The planning stage began with developing an academic supervision semester program through meetings with the teacher council, which was then conveyed directly by the principal. (2) In implementing academic supervision, supervisors strongly emphasized the importance of teachers' mastery of the subject matter. Therefore, supervisors paid close attention to teachers' efforts to improve their performance in carrying out their duties to achieve the goal of improving pedagogical competence. (3) Follow-up activities were part of the supervision conducted by the principals. Thus, supervisors needed tools to objectively assess and record teachers' strengths and weaknesses, which could subsequently guide individual and group coaching efforts. (4) Challenges faced included limited supervision time allocated by supervisors, lack of senior or peer teachers with the required knowledge and abilities to serve as supervisors, uneven competence levels among supervisors, and perceived subjectivity from principals.
