PEMANFAATAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI DALAM MODEL SUPERVISI JARAK JAUH UNTUK GURU DI DAERAH TERPENCIL

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of technology-based remote supervision in improving the quality of teacher training in remote areas. The method used is qualitative with a combination of library research and survey approaches. The research subjects consisted of 60 teachers and principals involved in technology-based supervision. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire to measure respondents' perceptions of the use of technology in educational supervision. The results of the study indicate that remote supervision has advantages in improving accessibility, time and cost efficiency, and more systematic supervision documentation. However, there are challenges such as limited technological infrastructure, variations in teachers' digital skills, and a lack of personal interaction compared to conventional supervision. The survey results showed an average response of 78.19 from teachers and school principals, indicating that the majority of respondents had a positive perception of the implementation of technology-based remote supervision. Therefore, supervision strategies that integrate remote methods need to be developed to optimize the effectiveness of educational supervision and enhance teacher professionalism, especially in areas with limited access.
