This study aims to analyse the relationship between educational supervision, teacher performance, and pedagogical skills at SMPN 1 and 4 Sangatta Utara. The method used is a quantitative approach with Chi-Square testing to analyse data collected from questionnaires distributed to 50 teachers as a sample, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results indicate that the majority of respondents assessed the educational supervision as being in the moderate category (54%), with most teachers also rating their performance and pedagogical skills as good (82%). The Chi-Square analysis shows a significant relationship between educational supervision and teacher performance (p-value = 0.000) as well as pedagogical skills (p-value = 0.000). This indicates that effective educational supervision contributes to the improvement of teacher performance and pedagogical skills. In conclusion, improving the quality of educational supervision plays a crucial role in enhancing teacher performance and pedagogical skills, and school principals should pay attention to this aspect to support the ongoing professional development of teachers.
