Proses Supervisi oleh Kepala Sekolah di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Kecamatan Payakumbuh Utara

Abstract

This study aims to determine how well the supervision process is conducted in public junior high schools in the North Payakumbuh District through four main indicators, namely supervision planning, supervision implementation, supervision evaluation, and follow-up on supervision results. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. A sample of 54 teachers was determined using the Proportional Random Sampling technique from a population of 106 teachers in three schools. The instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire, assessed for validity and reliability using SPSS version 31. The results of the study show that the supervision process falls into the good category, with an average score of 4.32 and a respondent achievement level of 86.42%. The highest indicator is in the aspect of supervision planning, while the lowest indicator is in the aspect of follow-up on supervision results. These findings indicate that principal supervision has been fairly effective, particularly in the aspects of clear planning  and instrument-based evaluation; however, there is still a need for strengthening the follow-up aspect so that the results of supervision have a greater impact on improving the quality of learning.
