Madrasah principals still do not take it seriously in using their authority in planning academic supervision programs. The heads of the madrassas in carrying out the obligations of implementing the academic supervision program are still not in accordance with the applicable technical instructions. The power of the heads of madrassas in carrying out innovations in academic supervision programs has not been utilized properly to improve teacher performance. These findings can be recommended to the head of the Regency/City Ministry of Religious Affairs Office and madrasa supervisors to carry out programmatic guidance and training for madrasa principals on the implementation of academic supervision in Madrassa.

The role of academic supervision in improving teacher professionalism

The role of academic supervision is very important to be held by an educational institution in improving the quality of teacher teaching and to achieve the goals that have been set. The quality of teacher teaching greatly affects the quality of a child's achievement. The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of academic supervision as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors of academic supervision activities. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of academic supervision is carried out in three stages, namely: Conducting class visits every lesson hour conducted by each supervisor who has a supervision schedule, coaching teachers who have problems in teaching, evaluating the results of the supervisor's report. Supporting factors in the implementation of academic supervision are the role of the principal in motivating teachers who have problems in teaching, and facilities in the form of supervisor files. The large number of classes and the minimal number of supervisors make this academic supervision activity less than optimal. Because the supervisors themselves experience problems in visiting the classes to be supervised.

The research methodology employed is a qualitative method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Observation, interviews, and documentation studies were used as data gathering methods. Also, a qualitative analysis was performed while the activities of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-making were in progress. The findings of this investigation suggest that school principals as supervisors have attempted to develop the potential and competence of teachers through teacher certification program activities which are attended by most teachers. The coaching program carried out by school principals for teachers consists of academic supervision activities, training (education and training), workshops, work meetings, PKG (teacher performance assessment), PKB (continuous professional assessment), technical guidance, and seminars. The outcomes of the teacher academic supervision activities carried out by the school principal show that the teacher development program activities through academic supervision activities have been progressing well. The problem preventing the principal's academic supervision from being put into effect is the learning method which is still teacher-centered so that it is monotonous and students become passive. The principal's strategy for achieving effective academic supervision is to conduct class observations and assign assignments to the teacher so that the teacher's academic abilities can be seen.
