Abstract 
Supervisors carry out educational supervision to develop a better-quality learning environment, 
including vocational high schools (VHS). This research is qualitative research with a case study 
research design. The main target of the research is VHS supervisors in Padang City. This research is 
limited to describing the professionalism of supervisors qualitatively. The data sources of this 
research were crucial informants, who were determined purposively. Data collection techniques 
with interview and observation techniques. Data analysis by collecting data, coding, linking, and 
interpreting themes. The results showed that the professionalism of VHS supervisors in carrying out 
their duties is still not following the quality standards of supervisors. The conclusion is that the 
supervisor's low professionalism is indicated by the supervisor's low motivation, lack of pride in his 
profession as a supervisor, the supervisor is not independent, and the supervisor's verbal 
communication is not good.

Introduction  

Vocational High School (VHS) is a secondary education that prepares students especially to work in 
certain fields. VHS graduates are prepared for three things, namely: 1) VHS graduates are prepared to be able 
to work in the business and industrial fields. 2) VHS graduates are prepared to be able to continue their 
education to the next level through vocational education in order to increase expertise in certain fields. 3) 
VHS graduates are prepared for entrepreneurship (Hidayat, 2017a; Yulastri, & Hidayat, 2017; Yulastri et al., 
2018; Hidayat et al., 2018; Hidayat & Yuliana, 2018; Hidayat et al., 2019a). Preparing students to meet targets 
after graduation, namely Work, Continuing Education, and Entrepreneurship is the responsibility of all 
variables including curriculum, educators, and educational institutions (Yulastri et al., 2019; Hidayat et al., 
2019b; Ganefri et al. , 2020; Hidayat et al., 2020). VHS graduates are also prepared to have employability 
skills as a person's ability to actively adapt to a job. Vocational high schools as potential workers must 
provide a good education system, have good school governance, and other supporters to improve student 
competencies so that graduates have bargaining power (Hidayat, 2015). If this happens, the industry as a 
labor absorber will open up greater opportunities for employment of VHS graduates, because in principle the 
industry has qualified human resources. However, in fact, based on data from the Central Statistics Agency 
(BPS) as of February 2021, the graduates of Vocational High School (VHS) are still the highest compared to 
graduates of other education levels, namely 11.45 percent. This is very unfortunate considering that VHS 
graduates are prepared to be ready to work and become entrepreneurs, but empirical data shows the 
opposite, namely that most VHS graduates are unemployed. These constraints and problems, cannot be 
separated from the management and governance mechanisms of vocational high schools (Suchyadi et al., 
2019; Suharsongko, 2019; Rohendi, 2020; Tasrif et al., 2021), including the educational supervision activities 
carried out by supervisors in VHS (Tasrif, 2019). 

Teachers in VHS have an important role in determining the quality and success of a school's education 
(Ganefri et al., 2017). In addition, research finds that vocational teachers who teach effectively have an 
impact on student achievement (Hidayat, 2017b). Therefore, efforts are needed to ensure the quality of these

The Professionalism of Vocational High School Supervisors: A Study of Qualitative Analysis  

vocational teachers, and education supervision provides a function to guarantee the quality of learning, 
including the quality of vocational teachers (Ganefri et al., 2018). Education supervision seeks to ensure and 
develop teacher quality and performance (Prasetyono, Abdillah, & Fitria, 2018). Educational supervision aims 
to develop and improve the quality of education which will also contribute to better student achievement 
(Yang et al., 2018). Supervision is a process as long as teachers are still careers in the world of education (Aini, 
2019) and plays an important role in improving the learning process by fostering schools (Amiruddin, 2018; 
Brown et al., 2020), including teachers (Ayubi et al., 2020). The term supervision itself is equated with 
supervision, inspection (Chudzaifah, 2019). 

Judging from the object of supervision (Kristiawan et al., 2019), there are three types of educational 
supervision, namely (1) academic supervision, which is directly related to learning activities and functions to 
improve and improve the quality of teaching, (2) administrative supervision carried out on administration 
which supports learning activities, and (3) institutional or institutional supervision, with a broader scope of 
schools, including curriculum, personnel or employment, school administration or administration, 
infrastructure, school public relations, and other collaborations for school development (Suharto, 2018; 
Graham, & Edwards, 2018). As part of education supervision, academic supervision strives for self-
development and improvement of teacher quality which ultimately aims to improve the quality of education 
(Susilo, & Sutoyo, 2019; Djuhartono et al., 2021). Supervision does not aim to simply evaluate and look for 
deficiencies or mistakes of teachers, but rather to guide them and develop the teaching process that is their 
job (Eissa et al., 2020). There are several academic supervision techniques, both individual in nature, such as 
class visits, class observations, individual conversations or meetings, self-evaluation, clinical or group 
supervision, including orientation meetings, teacher meetings, study or group discussions between teachers, 
workshops or seminars, inter-school visits or comparative studies, supervision bulletin and learning resource 
centers (Haris et al., 2019). 

Educational supervision and academic supervision are carried out at all levels of education in Indonesia, 
including at VHS (Hanafy, Nursanga, & Hasbi, 2019). There is increasing interest and attention to the 
importance of VHS itself in Indonesia. The higher the participation of Indonesian people in VHS, even though 
there are differences in the level of participation of parents from different economic backgrounds (Hasan, 
Juandi, & Khoiriyah, 2018). VHS in Indonesia tries to face challenges to children's development in the domain 
of technology, cognitive skills, emotional maturity, communication as well as general knowledge. Supervision 
activities, both broadly on educational and specific services carried out on employees, including teachers, are 
planned and carried out routinely at VHS (Hasanah, & Kristiawan, 2019; Huang et al., 2020). Going well or not 
depends on the quality and professionalism of supervisors in carrying out supervision activities (Istianah, 
2019; Istiqomah, Ekosiswoyo, & Pramono, 2019). In addition, alarming data can be observed from the 
research of the Directorate of Education Personnel (2009), which was conducted in six districts/cities in 
Indonesia, namely Maros Regency, Makassar City, Probolinggo Regency, Surabaya City, Tanah Datar Regency, 
and Padang City. The results showed that the average attendance of school supervisors was only 30 minutes 
to one hour.

Such a short visit time is a clear indication of the inadequacy of the supervisory process, in other words, 
the supervisor only functions as an observer, not a supervisor. The supervisory process that is not optimal at 
the same time shows that the professionalism of supervisors is very bad. This apprehensive condition based

on the results of the Directorate of Manpower's research also shows the weakness of coordination between 
supervisors and school principals, resulting in suboptimal supervision. The unprofessionalism of school 
supervisors in optimizing their role in schools can be caused by a number of factors (Karyati, 2018; 
Lalupanda, 2019). So that with this condition it is very necessary to know and carry out an analysis of the 
professionalism of supervisors, especially in Vocational High Schools. 
 
Method 

This research is qualitative research design in the form of case study research (Selamet, 2017). The main 
target of the research is the supervisors of VHS in the Padang City by carefully investigating the program of 
supervision or supervision they carry out, supervision activities, and the supervision process, where the 
results will be described in a qualitative descriptive form. This study is limited to describing qualitatively the 
professionalism of Vocational High School Supervisors in the Padang City. The data sources of this research 
consisted of primary sources, namely sources that directly provided data to data collectors and primary 
sources obtained through document tracking. The main primary source is obtained through the main source 
or key informant, namely two vocational school supervisors (P1 and P2). In addition, to enrich information 
and to cross-check or triangulate data, two stakeholders from the elements of teachers and school principals 
(S1 and S2) were used. Determination of the sources was done purposively. Data collection techniques using 
interview and observation techniques. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out by collecting data. Data 
collection was carried out by researchers as a key instrument by going directly to the field. Doing data coding, 
namely, the code used in the form of a combination of letters and numbers, for example, WMD1P1 where W 
= interview, MD = Informant code (in this study there were four informants, namely MD, MJ, DM, and FZ), P = 
Supervisor, S = Stakeholder, while the numeric code (1, 2, 3 and so on) shows 'the process to .....Then the next 
stage of data analysis is connecting the themes and interpreting the themes. 

 
Results and Discussion 

The results of research from the professionalism of Vocational School Supervisors in the Padang City were 
obtained from the results of interviews, the results of participant observation, and the results of document 
studies. 

Results of Interview  

The results of interviews with informants related to the professionalism of VHS supervisors can be seen 
from what is disclosed by the following P1, 

(Currently, many school principals have expired their term of office, or may still be in office, 
but for some reason or another, they have been transferred to become supervisors. This shows 
that a person to become a supervisor is not due to personal desires or even dislikes this 
profession, but because of other interests, even though the person concerned actually still 
wants the position of principal of the school. As a result, the supervisor is not serious in carrying 
out his supervisory duties and is difficult to be moved-WMD2P1). 

Perception P1 reveals doubts about supervisors' attitudes, in particular with regard to their commitment 
and motivation. This doubt is related to their existence as supervisors because there is an element of their 
unwillingness to be appointed as supervisors so that when they are given their duties they cannot do it 
optimally. When P1's perception is cross-checked with P2's perception, it turns out that the meaning 
expressed by P2 can be said to be the same as what P1 says. In full, the following P2 expression can be seen, 

(Work ethic is important ... but in practice it is nil ... as an educated person, I am often 
disappointed because from a long time ago, the importance of improving quality is the essence 
of education. Basically, quality improvement is something that is easy to do, as long as carried 
out together ... in its implementation the discourse of improving quality is only limited to a 
hollow slogan because what happens is that what is said or planned is out of sync with what is 
being done, because what is impressed as a waste of funds project. Tiring work but not optimal 
results-WMJ2P2) 

 

Work ethic or literally stated as work spirit is one of the pillars of being a professional, but it is precisely 
this work ethic that is the weakness of school supervisors. What P2 says when juxtaposed with the 
characteristics of professional school supervisors as stated in the School Supervisory Workbook, it can be 
stated that what Vocational School supervisors in the Padang City have done so far are still not professional 
because they do not have a good work ethic.

The Professionalism of Vocational High School Supervisors: A Study of Qualitative Analysis  

Further triangulation of sources carried out on S1, can be underlined by the previous S1 statement which 
stated that "... the supervisor to the school just visited, looked around then filled in the data that he had 
visited the school ... then just left .. and they are 'outcasts' in their respective schools …” (WDMS1). Likewise, 
if the perception of S2, S2 states, "... the existing supervisors consist of people who are less 'valid', who are not 
productive, former staff, teachers who don't come in ... it's just that they have connections" (WFZS2), 
although this statement seems sarcastic, all sources agree on the perception that is not in favor of the 
supervisor. 

Many indicators can be marked from a person whether he is professional or not. Some of these indications 
can be seen, for example, from the inability of supervisors to get rid of dependence on other parties to 
improve their abilities, they are just waiting for training opportunities from the education office or other 
agencies to hone their skills, this is an indication that they are less independent. Another indication can also 
be seen from what is explained by P1, that the person concerned also often guides or mentors’ teachers in 
teaching subjects that are not in the field of supervisors concerned, how can a professional evaluate people 
who are not in his/her field. Quite sad data was obtained from P1 and strengthened by S2, namely about the 
existence of school supervisors who had a frontal fight with the teacher, this happened because the teacher 
could not accept and always felt blamed by the supervisor. This incident once again shows that the 
supervisor of the school is still not professional, because emotional control and how to communicate is an 
indicator of professionalism. 

Results of Participant Observation 

Observations made regarding the professionalism of school supervisors were carried out in the form of 
passive participation, in this case, the researcher looked directly at what was happening without getting 
involved in activities carried out by supervisors or stakeholders. Observations were made on P1 and P2 as 
well as other VHS supervisors randomly. Only one or two supervisors came to the school with a little 
provision, for example, several instruments, even those related to the fields that the supervisor himself had 
to complete. In other words, the provisions that are brought are part of the obligations that must be fulfilled 
by the supervisor concerned, such as teacher performance appraisal forms, or other assessment formats. 

Results of Document Study  

The document track records that can be observed related to the professionalism of VHS supervisors are 
generally obtained in the form of activity data collected in the supervisor's bio. In addition, data related to 
supervisory reports and a number of supervisory instrument documents were also obtained. However, the 
most basic part as a reference for professionalism is a planned and written work program, starting from the 
beginning of the year/semester, and this part is not found. If it is found, it is only a fragment of the program, 
not an integrated program. The supervisory program is just a scribble that is adjusted in such a way when 
writing a report. 

Discussion on the Professionalism of Vocational School Supervisors 

Based on the results of the study, it shows that the professionalism of Vocational School supervisors has 
not met expectations, especially in improving the quality of academic supervision (Mudjiono, 2018; Pamudji, 
2019; Marsellina, 2020). Obtaining data shows signs that are not very encouraging, several things that have 
emerged are (1) Low motivation of supervisors; (2) Absence of professional pride; (3) Acting not in 
accordance with the main tasks and functions; (4) Supervisors are less independent; (5) Serving outside the 
area of expertise; (6) limited academic ability; (7) low innovation; (8) Undertaking unplanned coaching; (9) 
Poor verbal communication; (10) Low work ethic; (11) Arrogant. 

The existence of supervisors in the world of education has a solid foundation and is stipulated by a 
number of Government Regulations and Ministerial Regulations (Marsalin, 2019). As professional school 
supervisors, they are assigned to carry out academic and managerial supervision activities as well as 
mentoring and professional training activities for teachers (Maryam, 2018; Messi et al., 2018; Morrison, & 
Lent, 2018; Pitkänen et al., 2018). Based on the School Supervisory Workbook, there are four main tasks of 
supervision that professional supervisors must have, (1) carefully observing school conditions, (2) analytical 
acuity and synthesis, (3) accuracy and creativity in providing the necessary treatment, (4) ability good 
communication with each individual in the school. 

Furthermore, the School Supervisors Workbook describes what characteristics these professional school 
supervisors must possess, including displaying abilities in the form of performance; have talents, interests, 
vocation, and idealism; carry out supervisory duties effectively and efficiently; provide excellent service to all 
stakeholders; have a commitment to improving the quality of education; developing supervisory work 
methods and strategies continuously; have the capacity to work independently; have professional

responsibilities; comply with the professional code of ethics; have a commitment and become a member of 
the school supervisory professional organization. 

Observing the results of the study, that the professionalism of vocational school supervisors when this 
research was conducted, has not met the expected standards (Putri, Burhanuddin, & Wiyono, 2021). 
Professionalism is not something that is easy to achieve, because professionalism requires the quality and 
loyalty of professional stakeholders to their profession, in this case, of course, how professional the 
supervisor is with their work. Rossiter (2008) states, a professional has an attitude that is always capable and 
can make changes, an innovator, and also a skilled executor. Some of the other characteristics of 
professionalism are having values and ethics (Carr, 2000), independent, knowledgeable, responsible (Robson, 
2006), able to control emotions (Lee, & Yin, 2011), expert, think analyst, competent in determining attitudes 
(Allen, & Velden, 2011), and a number of other indicators from many other experts. If the results of this study 
are juxtaposed with what is stated by the experts, it will further reinforce the belief that the current 
Vocational School supervisors are not yet professional. Thus, it becomes naive to talk about improving the 
quality of academic supervision by unprofessional school supervisors. Professionalism is not enough only 
with broad skills and knowledge, but professionalism is more about totality in attitude, working smart, 
working thoroughly, and working seriously in various dimensions. 

The results of research related to the professionalism of vocational school supervisors are still far from 
expectations as professional figures. This situation is inversely proportional to what is expected in research 
by Bessong and Ojong (2009), that in order to improve teaching, a supervisor is needed, because a supervisor 
or supervisor is a person who is considered to have competence in knowledge, commitment, and is wise 
enough to feel 'whatever is desired/questioned 'by the teacher. Besides that, the supervisor is able to provide 
suggestions and various appropriate solutions, and also the supervisor has the capability to evaluate the 
progress of the teaching program and the corrections that must be made in order to improve and improve the 
quality of teaching. All of the criteria put forward by Bessong and Ojong (2009) are characteristics of a 
person's professionalism. However, in this case, the opposite is the case, the supervisor is not strengthening 
the education process to make it better quality, but rather the part that must be upgraded. 

 
Conclusion 

The professionalism of Vocational High Schools supervisors in carrying out their duties is not in 
accordance with the reference in the Supervisory Quality Standard Book as required in the Supervisory 
Workbook and the Regulation of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform 
concerning the Functional Position of School Supervisors and their Credit Score which this Ministerial 
Regulation is a revision of the Regulation State Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform 
concerning Functional Position of School Supervisors and Credit Score. The low professionalism of the 
supervisor is indicated by the low motivation of the supervisor, the absence of pride in his profession as a 
supervisor, the supervisor is not independent, does unplanned coaching even outside his area of expertise, 
and the supervisor's verbal communication with the teacher is not good.
