The Leadership Management of the Principal of Madrasa in Improving Teacher Performance at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah of East Lampung Regency

Abstract

. One of the factors that heavily influence the improvement of teacher performance at madrasa is leadership management. The pre-surveys conducted at MIM Banarjoyo, MII Sumberrejo, and MI Ma'arif 5 Sekampung of East Lampung Regency in terms of planning, organizing, movement, supervision, and evaluation showed good results. However, the performances of the teachers at the three madrasas were in the moderate category which means that the teachers had not optimally performed their duties and functions. This study was a qualitative study that employed the phenomenological approach. The data collecting techniques employed were observation, interview, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, the principals of the madrasas had performed good leadership management in improving teacher performances through planning, organizing, movement, supervision, and evaluation. It was indicated by the good results of teacher performances at the three madrasas. Thus, the better the leadership management, the better the teacher performances.
