Kualitas mengajar guru merupakan salah satu faktor utama yang menentukan mutu pendidikan, namun pelaksanaan supervisi klinis oleh kepala sekolah di beberapa sekolah masih belum optimal, sehingga pembinaan guru belum terlaksana secara sistematis dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis program, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, dan tindak lanjut supervisi klinis kepala sekolah dalam meningkatkan kualitas mengajar guru di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri Kabupaten Aceh Besar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Penelitian dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri 1 Peukan Bada dan SMP Negeri 2 Darul Imarah pada tahun 2026. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 10 informan, yaitu dua kepala sekolah, enam guru, dan dua pengawas sekolah yang dipilih secara purposive. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi sumber, triangulasi teknik, dan member checking. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program supervisi klinis di SMP Negeri 1 Peukan Bada disusun secara sistematis dan berkelanjutan, sedangkan di SMP Negeri 2 Darul Imarah lebih bersifat fleksibel sesuai kebutuhan guru. Pelaksanaan supervisi klinis di kedua sekolah mampu meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik, profesionalisme, dan kualitas mengajar guru melalui observasi kelas, refleksi, umpan balik konstruktif, serta pembinaan kolaboratif. Evaluasi dilakukan berdasarkan bukti empiris sehingga menghasilkan penilaian yang objektif, sedangkan tindak lanjut diwujudkan melalui pendampingan, pelatihan, komunitas belajar, dan refleksi berkelanjutan. Kebaruan (novelty) penelitian ini terletak pada pengembangan model supervisi klinis yang mengintegrasikan program, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, dan tindak lanjut berbasis refleksi kolaboratif sebagai strategi peningkatan kualitas mengajar guru pada SMP Negeri di Kabupaten Aceh Besar.

Teachers' instructional quality is one of the primary determinants of educational quality. However, the implementation of clinical supervision by school principals in several schools has not been fully optimized, resulting in teacher professional development that is neither systematic nor sustainable. This study aimed to analyze the planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up of school principals' clinical supervision in enhancing teachers' instructional quality at state junior high schools in Aceh Besar Regency. A qualitative approach employing a case study design was adopted. The study was conducted at State Junior High School (SMPN) 1 Peukan Bada and State Junior High School (SMPN) 2 Darul Imarah in 2026. Ten purposively selected informants participated in the study, comprising two school principals, six teachers, and two school supervisors. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data trustworthiness was established through source triangulation, methodological triangulation, and member checking. The findings indicated that the clinical supervision program at SMPN 1 Peukan Bada was systematically planned and continuously implemented. In contrast, the program at SMPN 2 Darul Imarah was implemented more flexibly to accommodate teachers' professional needs. In both schools, clinical supervision enhanced teachers' pedagogical and professional competence, leading to improved instructional quality through classroom observations, reflective dialogue, constructive feedback, and collaborative professional support. Evaluation was conducted based on empirical evidence to ensure objectivity, while follow-up activities included mentoring, professional development programs, professional learning communities, and continuous reflective practice. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a clinical supervision model that integrates planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up through collaborative reflective practice, providing a comprehensive strategy for enhancing teachers' instructional quality in state junior high schools of Aceh Besar Regency.
