Abstract

Educational supervision plays a strategic role in improving teacher performance, particularly in the learning process at school. This study aims to describe the role of educational supervision in optimizing teacher performance in the learning process at SMA Negeri 10, Jambi City, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, vice principal for curriculum, and teachers. The results indicate that educational supervision plays a role in improving teacher pedagogical, professional, and disciplinary competence through ongoing coaching, constructive feedback, and learning support. Supporting factors for supervision include school leadership commitment, teacher collaboration, and a conducive academic culture. While inhibiting factors include time constraints, teacher administrative burdens, and teacher perceptions of supervision. This study concludes that educational supervision, implemented systematically and humanely, can optimize teacher performance and improve the quality of learning.
