Supervisi Akademik Dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam

This study examines the implementation of academic supervision in efforts to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) instruction. Academic supervision serves not merely as a monitoring mechanism but as a form of guidance that helps teachers improve the quality of the teaching process. The main focus of this study includes the implementation of academic supervision in IRE, its contribution to improving the quality of instruction, as well as the determining factors and obstacles in its implementation. This research employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were sourced from various relevant literature on academic supervision, PAI instruction, educator professionalism, and previous research findings. Data analysis was conducted by examining, categorizing, comparing, and integrating various findings in accordance with the study’s focus. The results of the study indicate that academic supervision is carried out systematically through the stages of planning, classroom observation, feedback, evaluation, and follow-up. This process helps teachers refine their lesson planning, selection of methods and media, classroom management, use of technology, and evaluation of learning outcomes. The implementation of supervision is supported by teachers’ openness, the active role of supervisors, program clarity, the availability of facilities, and collaboration among educators. Conversely, the school’s packed schedule poses a major obstacle..
