Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principal's academic supervision in developing learning quality at MTs Aisyiyah Sungguminasa, Gowa Regency, focusing on planning, execution, and evaluation with follow-up actions. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from the principal, teachers, and relevant documents through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while trustworthiness was verified through source, technique, and time triangulation. Results indicate that: (1) Academic supervision planning is conducted by formulating programs encompassing objectives, target teachers, schedules, and instruments; (2) Execution involves classroom visits, learning observations, and administrative inspections; (3) Evaluation and follow-up are implemented continuously via feedback, coaching, and instructional material assistance. The study implies that systematic, continuous academic supervision enhances learning quality. Consequently, the principal should strengthen participatory planning, enhance teacher coaching, and optimize evaluation processes to deliver a meaningful impact on educational quality at the madrasah.
