| dc.description.abstract | One of the essential roles of the school principal is academic supervision. Academic supervision is the
coaching and development of teachers to improve the quality of learning and guidance in schools. This
study aimed to analyze and describe the implementation of academic supervision by the principals in
several senior high schools in East Borneo. It used a survey method and collected the data using a
questionnaire. The participants in this study were 86 principals of the senior high school. The data were
analyzed using descriptive and statistical techniques. The result shows that the distribution of
implementing task management and academic supervision function among principals is as follows by
categories: very good – 21%, good – 44%, sufficient – 23%, moderate – 6%, and fewer – 6%. We also
found that female school principals have a significantly higher supervision ability than male school ones
(p < 0.05). The results showed that the principal implemented the management and academic supervision
task well. Furthermore, gender might be a primary factor in implementing the task management and
academic supervision function. | en_US |
