This study aims to determine the role of academic supervision in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi. Academic supervision is a strategic effort undertaken by the school to ensure the quality of learning runs according to established standards, and to help teachers develop their professional skills, particularly in the pedagogical aspect. Pedagogical competence itself includes teachers' abilities to plan, implement, and evaluate the learning process according to the needs of students. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with the principal, teachers, and supervisors to obtain a comprehensive overview of the implementation of supervision. Observations focused on teacher activities during learning, as well as teacher interactions with supervisors during supervision. Documentation was used to supplement data related to the academic supervision program, lesson implementation plans (RPP), and supervision evaluation notes. The results of the study indicate that academic supervision has a significant contribution in improving the quality of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning carried out by teachers. Through supervision, teachers are encouraged to be more creative and innovative in developing learning methods and media that are appropriate to student needs. In addition, supervision also provides constructive feedback so that teachers can reflect on their teaching practices and make continuous improvements. Academic supervision also encourages the creation of a collaborative atmosphere between teachers and supervisors, thus creating a working relationship that supports improving the quality of education. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of effective academic supervision plays a crucial role in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi.

This study aims to conduct a critical study of the teaching materials for Islamic Religious Education and Character Building (PABP), specifically on the material "Avoiding Backbiting and Carrying Out Tabayun" used in class VII of SMPIT Takhassus Al-Qur'an Ashabiq. The focus of the study in this study covers several important aspects, namely learning objectives, the material delivered, the learning methods and models applied, evaluation of learning outcomes, and sources and references for teaching materials used by teachers and students. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through document studies of teaching materials, observations of the learning process in the classroom, interviews with teachers and students, and data validation is carried out through expert audits to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The results show that the teaching materials used have referred to the principles of the Independent Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile, which emphasize the development of character and student competencies as a whole. However, several significant weaknesses were found, especially in terms of integration between learning objectives with learning activities and evaluations carried out. Learning materials are structured in a normative and idealistic manner, but they do not adequately accommodate students' real-life contexts, particularly in facing the challenges of today's digital era, which significantly impact how they understand and internalize religious values. Learning evaluation is still dominated by cognitive measures such as written tests and conceptual understanding, while the attitudinal and skill dimensions, which are crucial for character education, have not been optimally measured. Furthermore, the learning resources used are quite limited, relying solely on textbooks and student worksheets (LKS), without any support from contemporary literature or digital media that could enrich the learning process and make it more engaging and relevant to today's students.

Educational planning is an important aspect in developing an effective and efficient education system. In this era of globalization, an innovative approach is needed to meet the need for a qualified workforce. One method that can be used in educational planning is the Man Power Approach method. The Man Power Approach method is an approach that involves analyzing future workforce needs, competencies, and developing a curriculum that is relevant to the job market. By using the Man Power Approach method in educational planning, it is hoped that we can create an education system that is responsive to workforce needs and capable of producing quality graduates who are ready to face the challenges of the world of work.
