Academic Supervision Based on Coaching in Improving the Quality of Learning at State Junior High School 4 Geyer, Grobogan Regency

Abstract

The quality of education plays a crucial role in creating a competitive and capable generation. However, educational challenges, including disparities in learning quality between schools, continue to emerge. Issues such as low student interest in reading, teacher quality disparities, and limited school facilities contribute to these challenges. The study aims to investigate the application of academic supervision based on coaching to improve the quality of learning at SMP Negeri 4 Geyer, Grobogan.

The research objectives are to examine the planning, implementation, and evaluation of this supervisory approach. Using qualitative methods, data was collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis.

The study found that academic supervision based on coaching has significantly enhanced teacher performance by focusing on collaboration, self-awareness, and constructive feedback. The application of coaching techniques in supervision helped teachers recognize their weaknesses and transform them into strengths, which led to an improved learning environment. Furthermore, the findings indicate that this approach has contributed to a measurable improvement in the quality of education, as reflected in the 11.12-point increase in the school’s quality learning score between 2023 and 2024. The research underscores the importance of coaching-based supervision in enhancing teacher competencies and fostering a positive learning atmosphere for students.
