Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh permasalahan pelaksanaan supervisi akademik yang selama ini cenderung hanya berorientasi pada pemenuhan kebutuhan administratif sekolah, tanpa memperhatikan sejauh mana supervisi tersebut berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan profesionalisme guru. Meskipun supervisi akademik berbasis coaching telah dikenal luas dalam dunia pendidikan sebagai salah satu pendekatan yang efektif dalam pengembangan kompetensi guru, implementasinya di lapangan masih belum optimal karena belum diterapkan secara konsisten oleh kepala sekolah maupun guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perencanaan, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, dan tindak lanjut supervisi akademik berbasis coaching yang dilakukan oleh kepala sekolah dalam meningkatkan profesionalisme guru di MAN 1 Aceh Besar dan MAS Al-Manar Aceh Besar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Informan penelitian berjumlah 12 orang yang terdiri atas kepala sekolah dan guru, yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling.Data dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak NVivo 15Hasil penelitian menunjukan: perencanaan supervisi akademik dilakukan melalui rapat bersama dewan guru dengan melibatkan guru senior dalam penyusunan program supervisi. Kepala sekolah menetapkan jadwal supervisi, melakukan pengecekan perangkat pembelajaran, serta menerapkan strategi kolaboratif dalam pelaksanaan supervisi. Pelaksanaan supervisi akademik dilakukan melalui tahapan pertemuan awal, observasi pembelajaran di kelas, dan sesi coaching reflektif setelah observasi. Evaluasi supervisi akademik dilakukan dengan menelaah berbagai aspek pembelajaran, meliputi penyusunan perangkat pembelajaran, penggunaan metode pembelajaran, pengelolaan kelas, dan interaksi guru dengan peserta didik. Tindak lanjut supervisi akademik dilakukan melalui penyampaian hasil supervisi kepada guru untuk dibahas bersama sebagai bahan refleksi terhadap proses pembelajaran yang telah dilaksanakanSecara keselurahan MAN 1 Aceh Besar dan MAS Al-Manar Aceh Besar telah menjalankan supervisi akademik dengan pendekatan coaching dengan baik, tidak hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan administratif, namun juga melihat perkembangan profesional guru. Namun untuk evaluasi masih perlu ditingkatkan lagi.

The problem that has motivated this study is that academic supervision tends to focus solely on schools' administrative needs without considering the extent to which it contributes to improving teachers' professionalism. Although coaching- based academic supervision is widely recognized in education as an effective approach to developing teacher competencies, its application in practice remains under-optimized, as school principals or teachers have not consistently adopted it. The purpose of this research is to analyze the planning, implementation, evaluation and follow-up of coaching-based academic supervision by school principals in improving teacher professionalism at State Islamic Senior High School (MAN) 1 Aceh Besar and Al-Manar Private Islamic Senior High School (MAS Al-Manar) Aceh Besar. The study employs a qualitative approach to data collection by using in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study was conducted on 12 participants (school principals and teachers) selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using NVivo 15 software. The study results showed that academic supervision planning was conducted through a joint meeting with the faculty council, and senior teachers were involved in preparing the supervision program. The principal determines the supervision schedule; instructional materials are reviewed; collaborative strategies are used in the supervision process. The various stages of academic supervision are: an initial meeting, classroom observation, and a reflective coaching session after the observation. In the evaluation of academic supervision, the different elements of learning were reviewed, such as the preparation of learning materials, the application of teaching methods, classroom management, and teacher-student relations. Follow-up on academic supervision is carried out by sharing supervision results with teachers for joint discussion as a basis for reflection on the entire learning process. MAN 1 Aceh Besar and MAS Al-Manar Aceh Besar have successfully done academic supervision with a coaching approach, not only to fulfil administrative needs but also to observe the professional development of teachers. However, the evaluation process still needs improvement. Keywords: Academic Supervision, Teacher Professionalism, Coaching Approach
