Description
Summary:This study aimed to explore communication techniques based on the information and communication technology (ICT) used in the implementation of instructional supervision to determine their effect on the teacher’s learning process and find effective techniques to improve the quality of the teacher’s learning process. This research was conducted in Blitar City with a sample of 60 teachers through a random sampling technique. The data collection technique used a rating scale, checklist, and open-form questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the data, while the Pearson product-moment correlation techniques and multiple regression were used to test the research hypotheses. The results show that the most widely used ICT-based communication techniques are WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom, Skype, and Google Forms. These are followed by email, video-recording, and audio-recording techniques. The use of ICT is still rare. There is a significant relationship between the use of ICT in instructional supervision and the quality of the teacher’s teaching-learning process, except when using telephones and televisions. ICT techniques are most commonly used for synchronous communication, followed by use for sharing information, and recording activities. The use of ICT in instructional supervision simultaneously affects the teacher’s instructional process.
