MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD ISLAMIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Abstract:  

The improvement of the quality of Early Childhood Islamic Education (ECIE/PIAUD) teachers in Indonesia is a complex and crucial issue in efforts to enhance the quality of early childhood education in this country. In this context, management plays a key role in achieving this goal. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, and the results of the research indicate the following: Firstly, regarding training, the necessary steps include identifying training needs, careful training planning, curriculum development for training, providing access to supporting resources, continuous training, training evaluation, collaboration among teachers, the use of educational technology, and recognition of teacher achievements. Secondly, effective supervision becomes a key element in ensuring that ECIE/PIAUD teachers meet the established quality standards. This involves setting teacher quality standards, developing evaluation instruments, conducting periodic evaluations, providing constructive feedback, developing improvement plans, and providing incentives or disciplinary actions as needed. Fair and constructive supervision helps teachers address weaknesses and continue to grow professionally. Thirdly, equitable human resource management is essential to ensure that all teachers have fair access to training and support. This includes mapping teacher qualifications, developing training programs, providing financial support, ensuring equitable supervision, evaluating the system, and recognizing and rewarding teachers who successfully improve their quality.
