B. Teaching Supervision
1. The Definition of Supervision
Good Carter in Sahertian 2000: 17 defines supervision as any attempts from the headmaster to lead the teachers and another staffs to improve the
teaching and learning process at school. These attempts include stimulating, selecting, and revising the goal of teaching learning process, the material,
methods, and conducting evaluation. Meanwhile, Boardman et al in Sahertian 2000: 17 defines supervision
from the democratic point of view. He states that supervision is an attempt of stimulating, coordinating, and guiding continuously towards the teachers at
school. Therefore, the teachers are able to stimulate their students so that the students can participate in the modern and democratic community.
On the other hand, Mc Nerney in Sahertian 2000: 17 views supervision as a procedure of giving direction and evaluating critically to the teaching and
learning process done at school. It means that by doing supervision, the supervisor

is aimed at helping the teacher to conduct a better teaching and learning process. At the end of supervision, the supervisor will evaluate the process of teaching and
learning conducted by the teacher and give feedback to him so that he can improve the quality of his teaching. Moreover, Pidarta 1981: 5 also describes
supervision as a process of guiding from the leader, headmaster, to the teachers and other staffs who handle the students’ learning to make the teaching and
learning process better, so that the students can study effectively and they reach good achievement.
From the definitions above, it can be summarized that supervision is an attempt of guiding, stimulating, and giving direction which is done by the
headmaster towards the teachers who involve in the teaching and learning process in order to create a good teaching and learning process so that the students can
learn effectively.
