Academic supervision is a supervision activity aimed at improving various obstacles in learning activities as an effort to improve the quality of learning through efforts to motivate, guide, foster, and direct teachers related to academic activities that have an impact on improving teacher professionalism.
First: Basic Concept of Academic Supervision, In PP Mendikbud RI No. 15 of 2018, it is stated that the function of educational supervision lies with the School Supervisor and Principal. Based on the PP, the principal has managerial responsibility in implementing academic supervision. In the context of developing teacher professionalism, "the implementation of academic supervision does not only focus on improving teacher knowledge and teaching skills, but also on renewing teacher commitment, willingness, and motivation.
Second: Academic Supervision Model, Putri Handayani, et al. in her Journal classifies academic supervision models into 3 models, including: (a) Conventional or Traditional Model; is a model that is carried out in the implementation of educational supervision because it is based on the conditions of society in an authoritarian and feudalistic atmosphere of power. (b) Scientific Model; is carried out based on data that has been collected previously objectively, for example data from observations of the learning process in the classroom, data on student learning achievement results, data on teacher personal performance, and so on. (c) Clinical Model; is a supervision model that is focused on improving the quality of the learning process through routine, systematic, and planned cycles with observation, analysis, and follow-up evaluation.
Third: Functions, Duties and Techniques of Supervision Academic, According to the Regulation of the Minister of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2007 concerning the standards of school/madrasah supervisors, academic supervision is one of the competencies that must be possessed by school/madrasah supervisors. Sulastri (2021) stated that one of the duties of the madrasah principal as an implementation of his duties as a supervisor is to supervise teachers. Winarti (2020) stated that in general, supervision activities can be divided into two types, namely: general supervision and academic supervision. To carry out academic supervision effectively, conceptual, interpersonal and technical skills are required. Therefore, every school/madrasah principal must have and master the concept of academic supervision which includes: understanding, objectives and functions, principles, and dimensions of the substance of academic supervision. (Widana, 2020).
Fourth: Stage of implementation of Academic Supervision/supervision, the implementation of managerial supervision activities is intended to improve and enhance the quality of learning through improving and enhancing teacher professionalism. Improving teacher competence or professionalism is an important thing to do along with the increasing demands of society as stakeholders for higher quality education. The development of science and technology which is so fast requires teachers to be able to follow and adapt to this development. Asmendri (Halimahturrafiah, et al.), there are three stages of supervision implementation, namely planning, implementation, and assessment: academic supervision planning, implementation of academic supervision, follow-up of Academic Supervision Results.
Lastly: Academic supervision is a supervision activity aimed at improving various obstacles in learning activities as an effort to improve the quality of learning through efforts to motivate, guide, foster, and direct teachers related to academic activities that have an impact on increasing teacher professionalism, there are three stages of supervision implementation, namely planning, implementation, and assessment: Academic Supervision Planning, Implementation of Academic Supervision, Follow-up of Academic Supervision Results, Academic supervision is one of the competencies that must be possessed by school or madrasah supervisors.
