Exploring the Potential of Digital Agenda Application to Support Principal Supervision in Monitoring Teacher Attendance

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of digital agenda application in supporting the principal's supervision role in monitoring teacher attendance at SMAN 1 Pangalengan. The manual recording of teachers' learning agenda, the limited time and access of principals to real-time data on teachers' attendance in class indicate the need for a more effective and efficient system. Teacher absence can affect the smoothness of learning activities so that this application is designed to be able to support principals in responding to teacher attendance situations more responsively. Through a qualitative approach, data was obtained through field observations and in-depth interviews to identify specific needs related to monitoring teacher attendance. The results show that this application has the potential to support more responsive and effective principal supervision. This result was obtained because the digital application allows principals to monitor teacher attendance in real-time, thus speeding up responses to teacher absence or tardiness. The findings are expected to be the basis for further development in the application of digital applications to improve teacher performance at SMAN 1 Pangalengan.
