SMK PGRI 2 Palembang Introduction Academic supervision is an important strategy for improving teacher performance. the context of education, supervision serves not only as a monitoring tool but also as a means of developing teachersAo professionalism. Through effective supervision, it is hoped that a better learning environment can be created that meets studentsAo needs. Education plays a crucial role in creating quality human resources. However, survey results indicate that educator performance in Indonesia remains low, with only 47. 9% of teacher performance in public elementary schools influenced by supervision. Academic supervision by school principals has proven to enhance teacher performance, as shown in various studies. For example, the correlation coefficient between preschool principal supervision and teacher performance indicates a significant positive relationship (Hasanah dan Kristiawan 2. PPSDP International Journal of Education Volume 5 . 2026, 216-238 E-ISSN 2829-5196. P-ISSN 2830-3229 As educational leaders, madrasah principals are expected to implement academic supervision effectively to improve teacher performance. Previous research has identified that supervision significantly contributes to teachersAo pedagogical competencies and the successful execution of teaching tasks. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of academic supervision by madrasah principals on teacher performance at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Tabek, with the hope of providing deeper insights into effective supervision practices and their impact on educational quality. The quality of education at the elementary school level greatly depends on the presence of qualified teachers and professional school principals. However, many teachers view teaching as a routine, neglecting variation in teaching methods. This can lead to lowquality learning processes, ultimately affecting the competitiveness and well-being of the nation. Therefore, academic supervision is needed as a means to continuously improve teacher quality (Zulfakar. Lian, dan Fitria 2. Academic supervision, conducted by school principals, aims to enhance teachersAo motivation, knowledge, and teaching quality. Principals play the roles of educators, managers, and motivators, and must carry out supervision continuously to improve the teaching and learning With effective supervision, it is expected that teacher performance will improve, leading to enhanced classroom learning quality. However, many principals face difficulties in implementing supervision, particularly through classroom visits and This study aims to explore the effectiveness of academic supervision by school principals in improving teacher performance at SD Negeri 16 Gelumbang, as well as its impact on the quality of the resulting learning process. The research is expected to provide insights and recommendations for more effective supervision practices in the context of elementary education. Education plays a crucial role in enlightening the life of the nation and shaping individual character, in accordance with the objectives mandated by Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System. Teachers, as professional educators, have a significant responsibility in guiding and developing the potential of students. Therefore, good teacher performance is essential to achieve quality educational goals. Performance is an indicator of a teacherAos success in carrying out their duties, which includes clarity of tasks, expected outcomes, and completion time. Supervision or oversight by the school principal is important to ensure that the learning process runs effectively and efficiently. The purpose of supervision is to help teachers develop their skills, enhance their commitment, and motivation, which in turn will positively impact the quality of learning. The importance of academic supervision is also reinforced by the need for professional teachers who possess adequate intellectual, moral, and managerial capacities. In this context, the research of (Leniwati dan Arafat 2. focuses on SMA Negeri 1 Sembawa, a school that was newly established in 2012, with many young teachers who still require guidance in the learning process. The study aims to PPSDP International Journal of Education Volume 5 . 2026, 216-238 E-ISSN 2829-5196. P-ISSN 2830-3229 explore the effectiveness of supervision in improving teacher performance at the school, providing recommendations for better educational practices. In the context of development in Indonesia, education is the main key that plays a significant role for the nation and state, in accordance with Law No. 20 of 2003. Education aims to develop the potential of students into individuals who are devout, noble, and responsible. The role of teachers as educators is strategic in shaping the character and competencies of students, and teachers are expected to have four main competencies as stipulated in Law No. 14 of 2005. Academic supervision is an important tool for enhancing teachersAo abilities to manage the learning process. Through supervision, teachers can develop their competencies optimally, which impacts the quality of learning. The school principal acts as a manager in providing guidance and motivation to teachers, thus improving their performance. An example of the implementation of academic supervision can be seen at the Integrated Islamic Elementary School Ya Bunayya Pujon, which strives to enhance teacher professionalism to achieve quality educational goals (Nur Intan Anggriani et al. Education in Indonesia plays a vital role in development, with the aim of developing studentsAo potential into individuals who are devout, noble, and responsible, as outlined in Law No. 20 of 2003. However, many teachers face challenges of low performance due to a lack of competencies in the fields of science and technology. School principals have a significant influence on improving student learning outcomes by optimizing teacher performance through academic supervision. Academic supervision, which includes planning, implementation, and assessment of learning, is a crucial strategy for enhancing the quality of education. School principals must possess managerial and innovative competencies to create effective programs. According to the Minister of EducationAos regulations, school principals are required to have five competencies, including supervision, to motivate teachers and enhance education quality. A lack of planning in academic supervision can result in low effectiveness, thereby affecting teacher performance. Therefore, the research of (Indriani. Sudrajat, dan Karyana 2. aims to explore the impact of academic supervision by school principals on teacher performance at UPTD SDN 8 Nagrikaler, as a step to improve the quality of learning in Education in Indonesia aims to enlighten the life of the nation and improve the quality of humanity, as mandated in the 1945 Constitution. Teachers play an important role in the educational process, responsible for the development of character and competencies in students. Optimal teacher performance is key to achieving national educational goals, including preparing learning materials and applying effective methods. The head of the madrasah has a strategic role as a driver of resources in educational institutions. The functions of the head of the madrasah include educator, manager, and supervisor.

Private Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MIS) Singkarak, under the leadership of an accomplished head, shows satisfactory learning outcomes. Nevertheless, the importance of academic supervision at MIS Singkarak needs to be emphasized further to enhance the quality of teachers and the overall quality of education. This study aims to explore the impact of academic supervision on teacher performance at the madrasah as an effort to achieve higher quality education. Education plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals and the nation, with a primary focus on improving quality to produce competitive human resources at national and international levels. However, a UNESCO survey shows that educator performance in Indonesia remains low, ranking last among 14 developing This reflects the urgent need for serious attention to educator performance, which is expected to implement the teaching and learning process optimally. Educators function as agents of change and mediators in the learning process, making their quality critical to educational outcomes. Despite having the potential for innovation, many educators are hindered by various factors that obstruct their development. Therefore, academic supervision by school principals becomes essential as an effort to nurture and enhance educator capabilities. Academic supervision not only focuses on observation but also includes systematic planning, implementation, and follow-up to support professional development for educators. By improving educatorsAo competencies, motivation, and work commitment, it is hoped that the quality of learning can be The study of (Ayubi. Syahmuntaqy, dan Prayoga 2. aims to explore the effectiveness of academic supervision by school principals in improving educator performance at the vocational school level. Teacher performance is a key factor in determining the quality of education, especially in the context of Thematic Learning. Law No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers emphasizes that teachersAo obligations include planning, implementing, and evaluating learning effectively. However, many teachers have not met these demands, often getting stuck in routine material delivery without paying attention to student This can lead to suboptimal learning outcomes. Academic supervision becomes an important solution to enhance teacher performance. With effective supervision, school principals can help teachers identify weaknesses and provide necessary guidance. Structured performance assessments serve not only for evaluation but also for development and motivation of teachers. Through academic supervision, it is hoped that teachers can manage Thematic Learning more effectively, improve teaching methods, and enhance student participation. The study of (Priyanto 2. aims to explore how academic supervision can improve teacher performance in Thematic PPSDP International Journal of Education Volume 5 . 2026, 216-238 E-ISSN 2829-5196. P-ISSN 2830-3229 Learning. By focusing on the implementation of cooperative and democratic supervision, this research will provide insights into the role of school principals in advancing education quality. Thus, it is expected that the results of this study can provide recommendations for more effective supervisory practices, leading to continuous improvement in teacher performance and learning quality. Teacher performance is a key factor that determines the quality of education and the output of educational institutions. However, in Indonesia, many teachers have not met the expected professionalism standards, with many lacking adequate academic qualifications or professional certifications. Low teacher performance negatively affects the quality of education and the ability of madrasahs to produce excellent and competitive graduates on a global scale. Therefore, improving teacher performance through academic supervision is crucial. Academic supervision, conducted by the head of the madrasah, serves to nurture teachers in enhancing learning quality. The head of the madrasah is expected to act as a consultant and facilitator, motivating teachers to be more creative and innovative in the teaching and learning process. However, supervisory practices often get caught up in administrative responsibilities, failing to achieve the primary goal of improving the learning process. The research of (Fauziah et 2. focused on MTs NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah, which implements TauhidBased Education. In this context, the head of the madrasah conducts supervision using collaborative and familial approaches, which are expected to enhance teacher By understanding the effective implementation of academic supervision, this study aims to provide insights and recommendations for better educational practices, ensuring continuous improvement in learning quality. The improvement of education quality in schools heavily relies on the effective implementation of oversight and academic supervision. Academic supervision serves as a form of guidance for teachers and educators, aimed at developing professionalism, improving performance, and achieving established learning objectives. The school principal, as the leader and manager of the educational unit, has the primary responsibility for implementing academic supervision in accordance with applicable SMP Global Madani in Bandar Lampung, which is only nine years old and has achieved accreditation with an A grade, is the focus of this research. This private school faces challenges in maintaining education quality and competing with other schools, especially in the context of higher teacher turnover compared to public schools. The performance of both senior and junior teachers needs to be effectively monitored by the school principal to ensure the success of the learning process. The study of (Praditia. Berliana, dan Hasan 2. aims to evaluate the effectiveness of academic supervision implementation at SMP Global Madani, analyze differences in supervisory outcomes between senior and junior teachers, and identify other factors that support the implementation of academic supervision. By understanding these aspects, it is hoped PPSDP International Journal of Education Volume 5 . 2026, 216-238 E-ISSN 2829-5196. P-ISSN 2830-3229 that better strategies can be found to enhance teacher performance and education quality in the school.
