PENGUATAN KOMPETENSI GURU SEKOLAH DASAR: MENGUASAI PENGETAHUAN KONSEPTUAL DAN PRAKTIS DALAM PENGAWASAN DAN PENGENDALIAN PENDIDIKAN

Abstract

The success of elementary schools depends on the teachers' ability to supervise and control education. The purpose of this research is to evaluate how well elementary school teachers understand the concepts and practices of monitoring and controlling learning, as well as to identify the factors that support and hinder its implementation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The research subjects are elementary school teachers in the Tanggamus region who were purposively selected. Direct observation of learning practices, in-depth interviews, and analysis of supervision documents are the data collection methods. The research results show that most teachers understand the concepts of supervision and control well, but they still face challenges in applying them consistently in the field. It has been proven that the main supporting factors include the support of the school principal, ongoing professional training, and teacher learning communities (KKG). However, the main constraints include time limitations, administrative responsibilities, and the inability to obtain relevant training. This research shows that teacher professional development programs should be strengthened with a practical focus on academic supervision and classroom management. In addition, school policies that support a good learning environment are also necessary. With the overall improvement in competencies, teachers are expected to perform their supervisory and control roles better to enhance the quality of basic education.
