Emotional Intelligence and Supervision of Madrasah Heads on Teaching Competence and Its Implications for the Performance of Tangerang Regency Private Madrasah Aliyah Teachers

Abstract

The research was conducted to investigate the influence of emotional intelligence and supervision of Madrasah heads on teaching competence and its implications for the performance of private Madrasah Aliyah teachers. The research location is in Tangerang district, Banten Province. Quantitative research methods with a descriptive approach were used for research purposes. The sample used was 215 respondents. The results reveal that the higher a person's emotional intelligence affects the teaching competence and performance of Madrasah teachers. Likewise, the higher the supervision of the madrasa head, the higher the teaching competence and performance of madrasa teachers. Supervision of madrasah principals is the principal's effort to develop teachers so that they can improve the quality of their teaching by going through the stages of planning, implementing actual teaching, and making rational modifications to improve student learning outcomes. Teaching competency is also able to support the performance of madrasa teachers in implementing learning activities so that the performance of Tangerang Regency madrasa teachers increases. However, the supervision of madrasah principals cannot mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence and madrasah teacher performance. This is because emotional intelligence is something that a teacher must have to improve his performance, with or without teaching competency.  Meanwhile, teaching competency can mediate the relationship between the supervision of madrasa heads and the performance of madrasa teachers in the Tangerang Regency. This is because, through evaluation and supervision, the principal will encourage teachers to improve their teaching competence in designing and implementing learning evaluations with indications of sub-summative evaluation, summative evaluation, and formative evaluation.
