Pedagogical Competence of Kindergarten Teachers in Trenggalek District: Reviewed from Clinical Supervision and School Culture

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of clinical supervision and school culture on the pedagogical competence of teachers in kindergartens throughout Trenggalek District. This research uses a quantitative approach with an ex post facto research model. The results of this study indicate that both partially and simultaneously, clinical supervision and school culture have a significant positive influence on the pedagogical competence of teachers in kindergartens throughout Trenggalek District. However, the contribution of clinical supervision to the pedagogical competence of teachers is still not optimal compared to school culture. This can be seen from the regression coefficient value of the clinical supervision variable (X1) of 0.165 and the regression coefficient of school culture (X2) of 0.478. These findings provide a new understanding of the importance of improving clinical supervision through scheduled and continuous supervision activities so as to improve the pedagogical competence of teachers, especially kindergartens in Trenggalek District.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh supervisi klinis dan budaya sekolah terhadap kompetensi pedagogik guru di TK se-Kecamatan Trenggalek. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan model penelitian yang bersifat expost facto. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa baik secara parsial maupun simultan, supervisi klinis dan budaya sekolah memiliki pengaruh positif yang signifikan terhadap kompetensi pedagogik guru di TK se-Kecamatan Trenggalek. Namun, kontribusi supervisi klinis terhadap kompetensi pedagogik guru masih belum optimal dibandingkan dengan budaya sekolah. Hal ini terlihat dari nilai koefisien regresi variabel supervisi klinis (X1) sebesar 0,165 dan koefisien regresi budaya sekolah (X2) sebesar 0, 478. Temuan ini memberikan pemahaman baru tentang pentingnya peningkatan supervisi klinis melalui kegiatan supervisi yang terjadwal dan dilakukan secara terus menerus sehingga meningkatkan kopetensi pedagogik guru, khususnya TK di Kecamatan Trenggalek.
