Supervisi Akademik Berbasis Bukti: Tinjauan Filosofis Realisme Dalam Praktik Pengajaran

Academic supervision is a crucial pillar in ensuring the quality of education, which currently tends to be administrative and normative in nature, falling short of the professional idealism grounded in empirical evidence. This study aims to analyze the gap between the concept of evidence-based academic supervision and its actual implementation in the field, particularly in elementary schools in Sukolilo District, and to examine the relevance of the philosophical foundation of realism. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study employs library research and field studies through observation, interviews, and document analysis in 40 elementary schools in the Sukolilo District. The findings show that 80% of supervision in Sukolilo still focuses on administrative document checks without classroom observation or data-based pedagogical feedback, creating anxiety among teachers and hindering improvements in teaching quality.  .
