Management of Supervision of Madrasah Principals in Improving the Quality of the Learning Process

(Research Studies at MTs Madinnatun Najah Cirebon)

Abstract

Madrasah heads have a strategic role in improving the quality of education in the institutions they lead. The head of the madrasa not only acts as a learning leader, but more than that he is the leader of all leadership functions in a madrasa such as planning, career development, coordination and evaluation. Moreover, in this era of decentralization, the leadership of educational institutions is run autonomously which gives flexibility to madrasa heads to manage the institutions they lead in accordance with the vision of their leadership. The madrasa head as a wise supervisor must be able to plan what to do as an alternative solution to the problems that occur among the teachers he leads cooperatively and cooperate with each other in adjusting plans and new situations that arise. This research is a qualitative type. The implementation of the supervision of the madrasah head in improving the quality of the teaching and learning process in these two MTs has been carried out well by the way the madrasah head provides an assessment of teachers through pre-class visit activities, carrying out class visits and post-class visits. Then the madrasah head creates a supervision team who is given the task of setting supervision goals and making a supervision schedule. although there is still a feeling of discomfort between the two parties, this feeling may arise due to differences in teaching experience, age, perceptions of the implementation of supervision.
