Upaya Kepala Madrasah dalam Meningkatkan Kompetensi Profesional Guru

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efforts made by madrasah principals in improving teachers' professional competence in the madrasah environment. The method used is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach, through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of madrasah principals and teachers in several madrasahs. The results showed that madrasah principals play an active role in developing teachers' competencies through various strategies, such as organising training and workshops, providing incentives, and implementing regular supervision and evaluation. In addition, madrasah principals also encourage collaboration among teachers and utilise technology as a medium for professional development. The findings show that the proactive and innovative leadership of madrasah principals has a positive effect on improving teacher competence, which in turn has an impact on improving the quality of learning in madrasah. Thus, the role of madrasah principals is crucial in creating a work environment that supports the continuous professional development of teachers
