The Influence of School Head Academic Supervision on the Achievement of the National Standards of Middle School Education in Bima City

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of academic supervision by school principals on national education standards in the fulfillment of SNP achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of the contribution of the influence of academic supervision of school principals on the achievement of National Standards of Middle School Education in the City of Bima. The approach taken in this research is ex post facto in which the researcher does not give treatment to the research variables. But examine the facts that have happened. Then the facts are explored using a questionnaire that contains a number of questions that reflect various aspects of the research variable. The sample in this study was principals and junior high school teachers in Bima City. To determine the contribution of the influence of the implementation of academic supervision of school principals to the achievement of the National Education Standards performed using Canonical Correlation analysis. Canonical correlation analysis is a multivariate analysis technique that can be used to identify and measure linear relationships involving more than one independent variable and more than one dependent variable. In this study the canonical correlation analysis is used to analyze the relationship between the academic supervision of the principal and the achievement of the National Standards for Junior High School in the City of Bima. There are three criteria used to interpret canonical functions, namely canonical weights, canonical loads, and canonical cross-loads. The results of data analysis showed that two canonical functions were obtained. The interpretation of the first canonical function was chosen because it was judged to be more feasible based on the significance test of the canonical function together or individually. The results of the interpretation show that the principal's academic supervision and the achievement of national education standards have quite strong links. The biggest contribution made by the independent and dependent variables is planning academic supervision and assessment standards. The conclusions of this study are as follows: There is an influence of the principal's supervision on the achievement of the National Standards of Middle School Education in the City of Bima. Based on the results of this study it is recommended that the implementation of the principal's academic supervision be maintained because it has a positive effect on the achievement of the National Education Standards.
