Basic Concept Of Supervision

BASIC CONCEPT OF SUPERVISION A. Supervision Supervision, if viewed etymologically, can be understood as an activity or activity to assess or review the activities or performance of members carried out by a leader or superior in an agency or organization. In Carter Good's Dictionary of Education, supervision is written as all efforts of school officials in leading teachers and other educational personnel as an effort to improve teaching including stimulating, selecting the growth and development of teacher positions, selecting, and revising educational goals, teaching materials and teaching methods as well as conducting teaching evaluations. Supervision itself in the world of education is a very important thing to implement because it will affect the performance of teachers which in the end will indirectly affect the learning outcomes in the classroom. There are several basic things in supervision that are implemented in learning including curriculum development, where with the development of the curriculum, educators will also be required to develop in order to be in accordance with the current curriculum. The curriculum itself will always develop in accordance with the times. Indonesia itself is a country that often changes the curriculum with the aim of adapting to the development of the times and the development of generations. The curriculum must be adjusted to the educational needs of the current generation in order to be able to bring the country to be more advanced. Historically, the curriculum is defined as a tool that brings people from start to finish. The definition of this curriculum itself continues to develop with the development of educational theory and practice. With the development of the curriculum, it is hoped that graduates will also follow the development of the times, one of the aspects that influences in determining it is the quality of teachers or educators. In its implementation, educational supervision in schools is carried out by the principal who is called a supervisor, where this supervisor acts as a supervisor and controller of teacher performance. This supervision and control are carried out so that in carrying out their duties, teachers do not deviate as a teacher or educator. Teachers are required to always be able to improve their performance and creativity in teaching, but to improve or develop this, there are several obstacles that teachers must face. Therefore, supervision is very necessary to be given to teachers so that teacher performance becomes even better so that it can have an impact on education. B. Types of Supervision Supervision itself in its implementation is divided into several types which include: 1. General supervision and teaching supervision. Teaching supervision is a supervision activity aimed at improving conditions that allow for the creation of better learning implementation, while general supervision is not directly related to efforts to improve the quality of learning. 2. Clinical supervision Clinical supervision is an effort to improve teaching carried out through a systematic cycle of planning stages, observation, and intensive intellectual analysis of teaching performance. 3. Inherent supervision and functional supervision Inherent supervision is an administrative and management activity carried out by the head of the work unit to prevent mismanagement and increase work efficiency and effectiveness in accordance with government policy. Supervision can be interpreted as a coaching activity that has been planned to help teachers and employees and other school staff in carrying out their work effectively so as to obtain good results. Supervision is assistance from school leaders which is given with the intention of developing the leadership and professionalism of teachers and employees and other school staff in achieving educational goals. Supervision is the supervision of the implementation of technical educational activities in schools, not just physical supervision of physical materials. In its application or implementation, supervision does not only supervise teachers and employees and other staff, but also supervises whether the work carried out has gone well and in accordance with the provisions or not and also provides solutions and seeks ways together to improve its work towards a better direction and in accordance with the provisions that have been set.
