Implementation of Scientific Supervision in Improving Teacher Professionalism Competence

Abstract

Improving teacher professionalism in Islamic educational institutions remains a central challenge as learning quality is strongly influenced by teachers’ pedagogical and professional capabilities. Strengthening these competencies requires a systematic and measurable supervision model. This study aims to describe the implementation of scientific supervision in enhancing teacher professional competence at MTsN 2 Kota Blitar. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the principal and subject coordinators, as well as documentation of supervision instruments. The findings indicate that scientific supervision is implemented through structured planning, objective classroom observations, reflective evaluation, and continuous follow-up supported by digital training through the Ministry of Religious Affairs Smart MOOC platform. This supervision model contributes to strengthening learning innovation, reflective awareness, and the role of principals as learning leaders. The study concludes that scientific supervision serves as an effective managerial strategy for enhancing teacher professionalism and improving the culture of quality in Islamic education. The research contributes by offering an empirical model of data-driven supervision that integrates Islamic work ethics and modern management principles.
