ABSTRACT

Academic supervision is one of several activities carried out to ensure the quality of a teaching process in a classroom. However, the implementation of academic supervision faces some problems, such as the principal's and teachers' lack of competencies. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of the collaborative academic supervision model of a principal and senior teacher to improve teachers' academic supervision competence. The collaboration includes several activities, such as training and practice of academic supervision. The research belongs to experimental research with a pre-experimental design using one group pretest-posttest design. The data were taken using a questionnaire, observation, and a series of tests. They were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, as well as the descriptive statistic technique. The results show that the collaborative supervision model improves the junior teachers' academic supervision competence. It is evident in the higher score obtained in the posttest, compared to the pretest. The mean score posttest is 82.50, which increases significantly from the pretest mean score, 59.00. The findings prove that the collaboration between principal and senior teachers in conducting academic supervision helps the junior teachers to improve their competence. The research recommended the necessity of collaborative supervision between the principal and the senior teachers to enhance academic supervisory competencies.
