Academic Supervision by School Principals for Improving Teacher Performance

Abstract

Academic supervision is performed by school principals to assist teachers and employees in carrying out their work while also motivating and helping them to develop and improve their abilities in the teaching and learning processes. Many teacher learning tools are incomplete, and facilities are lacking. Teachers do not set a precise scenario in the learning process, so the classroom atmosphere is not conducive. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of academic supervision by principals on teacher performance. A systematic literature review was conducted, and data were collected by documenting and reviewing articles related to academic supervision and published between 2015 and 2021. In total, 25 articles from national and international journals were obtained from Google Scholar, DOAJ, and lens.org. It was found that academic supervision by school principals not only improved teacher performance but also encouraged their development and individual approaches and provided them with the required training and motivation.
