Strategies for Improving the Pedagogical Competence of School Teaching Staff

Abstract

[English]: The improvement of the learning quality of Islamic boarding schools is greatly influenced by the pedagogical competence of teaching staff. At the Zainul Hafidz At-Taufiq Islamic Boarding School, Buwun Mas, a number of obstacles are still found, such as limited use of learning media, lack of variety in teaching methods, and non-optimal learning evaluation, so that the learning process has not run optimally. This study aims to find out: (1) the strategies of pesantren managers in improving the pedagogical competence of teaching staff, (2) the types of training that have been implemented and programmed in an effort to improve pedagogical competence, and (3) success indicators and factors that affect the improvement of pedagogical competence of teaching staff in improving the quality of learning. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques are carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that improving pedagogical competence is carried out through mapping teacher needs, pedagogic training, academic mentoring and supervision, and teacher deliberation. Training in the preparation of lesson plans, active learning, the use of digital media, and classroom management has been proven to improve teachers' pedagogic skills. Success is characterized by increasing teachers' ability to design, implement, and evaluate learning. Supporting factors include leadership commitment and teacher motivation, while limited facilities and time are inhibiting factors.

Di Pondok Pesantren Zainul Hafidz At-Taufiq, Buwun Mas, masih ditemukan sejumlah kendala, seperti keterbatasan pemanfaatan media pembelajaran, minimnya variasi metode mengajar, serta evaluasi pembelajaran yang belum optimal, sehingga proses pembelajaran belum berjalan secara maksimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: (1) strategi pengelola pesantren dalam meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik tenaga pengajar, (2) jenis pelatihan yang telah dilaksanakan dan diprogramkan dalam upaya peningkatan kompetensi pedagogik, serta (3) indikator keberhasilan dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi peningkatan kompetensi pedagogik tenaga pengajar dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kompetensi pedagogik dilakukan melalui pemetaan kebutuhan guru, pelatihan pedagogik, pendampingan dan supervisi akademik, serta musyawarah guru. Pelatihan penyusunan RPP, pembelajaran aktif, penggunaan media digital, dan manajemen kelas terbukti meningkatkan kemampuan pedagogik guru. Keberhasilan ditandai dengan meningkatnya kemampuan guru dalam merancang, melaksanakan, dan mengevaluasi pembelajaran. Faktor pendukung meliputi komitmen pimpinan dan motivasi guru, sedangkan keterbatasan fasilitas dan waktu menjadi faktor penghambat.
