Introduction
The world is grappling with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of which
remains uncertain. It has been two years since the global community began navigating life
amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 virus. The consequences of this pandemic have
significantly affected various sectors, with education being one of the most profoundly
impacted areas (Lades et al., 2020; Lenzen et al., 2020; Nicola et al., 2020; Nurhayati et al., 2022;
Nurhayati, Hidayat, et al., 2023; Ratten, 2020; Suharyat et al., 2022).
The education sector has encountered multifaceted challenges that have reshaped the
traditional teaching and learning paradigms. The abrupt closure of schools to curb the spread
of the virus has disrupted the conventional methods of delivering education (Adedoyin &
Soykan, 2023; Al Lily et al., 2020; Khlaif et al., 2021; Maqsood et al., 2021; Musa et al., 2022;
Nurmalia et al., 2022). This closure interrupted the continuity of learning for millions of
students worldwide and posed challenges for educators, administrators, and parents.

One prominent challenge has been the swift transition from in-person to remote
learning, necessitating a paradigm shift in instructional strategies. The sudden adoption of
distance education exposed disparities in digital access among students, creating an uneven
playing field regarding technological resources. Students in resource-poor environments faced
difficulties accessing online classes, exacerbating educational inequalities (Barrot et al., 2021;
Joshi et al., 2020; Qudsi & Nurhayati, 2023).
Moreover, the shift to remote learning highlighted the importance of adapting
pedagogical approaches to suit virtual environments. Educators had to grapple with
reimagining lesson plans, incorporating digital tools, and ensuring that learning objectives
were effectively communicated through online platforms. This shift also underscored the
significance of teacher training in digital literacy to facilitate a smoother transition to virtual
classrooms (Aril Barnett, 2021; Ganguly, 2023; Marsegi et al., 2023; Nurhayati, 2021b; Ravi et
al., 2021; Winarti et al., 2022).
The closure of physical schools presented a unique set of challenges for parents who
found themselves thrust into supporting their children's education at home (Bagnall et al.,
2022; Buchanan et al., 2023; Flynn et al., 2021; Harmey & Moss, 2023; Latif et al., 2023;
Lismayanti et al., 2021; Nurhayati, Qudsi, et al., 2023; Suharyat et al., 2023). Balancing work
responsibilities with the newfound role of facilitating learning became a juggling act for many
parents, shedding light on the intricate relationship between home and school environments.
Furthermore, the closure of educational institutions impacted the holistic development
of students. Beyond academic education, schools play a vital role in fostering social
interactions, extracurricular activities, and emotional well-being. The absence of these aspects
in the virtual learning environment has raised concerns about the overall educational
experience and its long-term effects on students' social and emotional development.
The government of Indonesia responded to the crisis by issuing Circular Policy
Number 4 of 2020, which outlined educational policies for the COVID-19 emergency period.
Due to this directive, distance learning had to replace traditional in-person instruction,
necessitating the adoption of numerous strategies (Cahyadi et al., 2022; Ghofur & Nurhayati,
2023; Nuraeni & Nurhayati, 2023; Nurhadi et al., 2023; Wajdi et al., 2020).
In response to the imperative of distance learning, educational institutions swiftly
implemented various strategies to ensure the continued delivery of quality education despite
the challenges posed by the pandemic. Firstly, schools embraced online learning platforms like
Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Google Classroom, Moodle, and Microsoft Teams.
These platforms provided a centralized space for teachers to share resources, conduct virtual
classes, and engage with students in real-time (Abu Talib et al., 2021; Almpanis & JosephRichard, 2022; Hudri & Nurhayati, 2020; Noor et al., 2020).
Additionally, integrating video conferencing tools, including Zoom and Microsoft
Teams, became crucial to the distance learning landscape. These tools facilitated live virtual
classes, enabling teachers to interact with students synchronously, replicating aspects of
traditional in-person instruction. Real-time communication through video conferencing
enhanced teacher-student engagement and allowed for peer interactions, fostering a sense of
community among students (Andujar & Franco Rodriguez, 2019; Belt & Lowenthal, 2023;
Vlachopoulos & Makri, 2019).
Schools use asynchronous learning methods to cater to diverse learning needs. This
involved creating pre-recorded video lessons, interactive e-learning modules, and digital
assignments accessible through the platforms mentioned above. Asynchronous learning
offered flexibility, allowing students to engage with educational content at their own pace,
mitigating challenges associated with varying internet connectivity and time zone differences
(Lemke, 2022; Meng & Dan-Dan, 2022; Phillips, 2021).
Recognizing the importance of continuous assessment, schools leveraged online
assessment tools and platforms. These tools facilitated the creation, distribution, and grading
of quizzes and exams, ensuring a seamless evaluation process even in a virtual setting. Digital

assessments also provide valuable data for teachers to gauge students' progress and tailor their
instructional approaches accordingly.
To address the digital divide and ensure equitable access to education, schools
collaborated with telecommunication companies and local authorities to provide internet
connectivity and devices to needy students. This inclusive approach aimed to bridge the gap
in digital access, ensuring that all students could participate in remote learning activities.
As a result of the shift to remote learning, parents now bear greater responsibility for
supporting their children's at-home education. Parental involvement is crucial to achieving
the curriculum's educational goals because it fosters a cooperative relationship between
schools and parents that greatly aids in achieving these objectives.
Parents assume several crucial roles in supporting at-home education. They play a
pivotal role in establishing a conducive learning environment by designating a dedicated
study space, ensuring access to necessary learning materials, and minimizing distractions
during virtual classes. Additionally, parents provide essential technical assistance, aiding
students in navigating online platforms and digital tools to ensure seamless participation in
virtual classes and effective utilization of educational resources (Budhrani et al., 2021; Milyane
et al., 2023; Rousoulioti et al., 2022; Thomas et al., 2021).
Furthermore, parents assist in structuring their children's daily schedules, helping
them balance academic tasks with breaks and recreational activities. This guidance proves
instrumental in aiding students to manage their time effectively in a remote learning setting.
Regular communication between parents and teachers becomes essential in remote learning,
with parents acting as liaisons, conveying concerns or challenges faced by their children and
collaborating with educators to address specific learning needs.
Research indicates that face-to-face instruction is more effective than online instruction,
with a 90.5% effectiveness rate compared to online instruction's 70.6%. This discrepancy is
largely attributed to parental support and involvement. In traditional classrooms, parental
involvement extends to active participation in school-related activities, such as parent-teacher
conferences, volunteering, and extracurricular events, positively influencing students'
attitudes toward learning (Handayani & Utami, 2020; Musa & Nurhayati, 2020; Nurhayati,
2021a; Nursa’adah et al., 2022; Ratningsih et al., 2021; Rumsari & Nurhayati, 2020).
The implications for online instruction are significant. Replicating the level of parental
involvement seen in traditional settings becomes essential to enhance the effectiveness of
virtual education. This involves active participation in virtual parent-teacher meetings, online
workshops, and collaborative initiatives that bridge the gap between home and virtual
classrooms. Online educational platforms should incorporate features that facilitate seamless
communication between parents, teachers, and students, including real-time progress
tracking, virtual parent-teacher conferences, and accessible resources for parents to aid their
children's learning.
Furthermore, access to adequate facilities and infrastructure is a key factor in the
success of online education, so the quality of learning is closely related to the living conditions
of the students (Iskandar et al., 2023; Ramli et al., 2020). The quality of learning in an online
education setting is intricately tied to students' living conditions. Adequate facilities and
infrastructure encompass access to a reliable internet connection, suitable digital devices, and
a conducive learning environment. Students in well-equipped environments with high-speed
internet and modern devices are better positioned to engage with online content, participate
in virtual classes, and submit assignments promptly. Conversely, students facing challenges
such as poor internet connectivity or inadequate devices may experience disruptions in their
learning, hindering their ability to benefit from online education fully.
The way school principals manage supervision has changed due to the changes to
Indonesia's educational landscape. Previously conducted mostly in person, supervision is now
digitalized and based online. The shift to digitalized and online supervision has brought about
notable changes in the traditional supervision process. Previously conducted in person,

supervision now leverages digital tools and remote monitoring and evaluation platforms.
Principals can use video conferencing, observation tools, and data analytics to assess teaching
methods, provide feedback, and track teacher performance. Digitalization has increased the
efficiency of the supervision process by allowing for real-time interactions, reducing logistical
constraints, and providing a more comprehensive overview of educators' practices. This has
streamlined the supervision process, making it more adaptable to the dynamic nature of online
education (Suparman, 2021; Zuhairi et al., 2020).
This adaptation is crucial to ensure that students receive proper guidance from teachers
and the necessary support from parents, enabling them to meet predetermined educational
objectives. Predetermined educational objectives refer to specific learning outcomes and goals
set by educational institutions. Digital-based supervision contributes to achieving these
objectives by ensuring that teachers are aligned with the educational goals. Through digital
tools, principals can monitor whether instructional strategies align with the curriculum, assess
student progress, and provide targeted support where needed. This form of supervision
enables a more data-driven and individualized approach to education, helping to meet the
unique needs of each student and ensuring that overall educational objectives are met.
Digital-based supervision has been successfully implemented in several schools,
offering the flexibility of conducting supervisory activities anywhere and anytime, facilitating
smooth interactions and discussions between principals and teachers, all integrated with
technology (Habibi et al., 2020). Successful implementation of digital-based supervision
involves the integration of various technologies. Video conferencing platforms, observation
tools, and data analytics software are commonly used. These technologies allow principals to
conduct virtual classroom observations, provide real-time feedback, and analyze data on
teaching practices. Integration with technology has improved the supervision process by
increasing accessibility, providing flexibility in scheduling, and enabling more efficient data
collection and analysis. Technology has facilitated smoother interactions and discussions
between principals and teachers, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning
environment.
However, despite the advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, th
technology's equitable and efficient utilization remains a challenge. Issues include limited
facilities and infrastructure and a shortage of human resources proficient in technology.
Several challenges impede the equitable and efficient use of technology in education.
Limited facilities and infrastructure encompass inadequate internet access, insufficient
availability of digital devices, and outdated technological resources. A shortage of human
resources proficient in technology refers to the scarcity of educators and administrators wellversed in utilizing digital tools for effective teaching and management. To address these
challenges, local government bodies and relevant agencies can play a pivotal role. They can
allocate funds to improve technological infrastructure in educational institutions, provide
subsidies or incentives for students to access digital devices, and offer training programs for
educators and administrators to enhance their proficiency in technology. Additionally,
partnerships with technology companies and collaborations with educational experts can
contribute to overcoming these challenges.
Support from local government bodies and relevant agencies is crucial to sustaining
educational evaluations. Research has shown that supportive leadership significantly
enhances subordinates' performance (Wahida et al., 2020). Supportive leadership in the
context of digital-based education profoundly impacts the performance of educators and
administrators. It involves providing guidance, resources, and encouragement to navigate the
challenges of incorporating technology into teaching and administrative processes. Supportive
leaders foster a positive work environment, encouraging experimentation, innovation, and
continuous learning. This leadership style helps alleviate the fear of failure, enabling educators
and administrators to embrace new technologies confidently. Additionally, supportive leaders
facilitate professional development opportunities, ensuring the workforce has the necessary

by potentially leading to a less engaging learning experience for students. The learning
materials may not be optimized for online delivery, hindering student comprehension and
participation. Additionally, teachers may struggle to maintain an organized and efficient
online classroom environment, affecting the flow of lessons and communication with students.
Hence, it is imperative to provide gradual assistance, training, and education to
teachers, guiding them through these digital aspects. Supporting teachers in overcoming
digital challenges involves offering comprehensive assistance, training, and education.
Gradual assistance can include mentorship programs where experienced educators guide their
peers in adopting effective online teaching practices. Training sessions should cover digital
content creation tools, strategies for converting materials to online formats, and best practices
for file management. Educational programs should be designed to enhance teachers' digital
literacy, focusing on pedagogical strategies that align with online learning environments.
Providing ongoing support, access to resources, and opportunities for collaboration can
further empower teachers to navigate the digital landscape confidently.
This type of supervision is an integral part of what principals can achieve through
digital means (Beetham & Sharpe, 2019). Digital supervision supports teachers by providing
real-time feedback, monitoring online classrooms, and offering targeted guidance. Through
digital platforms, principals can observe online teaching sessions, assess the effectiveness of
digital content creation, and identify areas for improvement. They can leverage video
conferencing tools to conduct virtual meetings, address teachers' concerns, and provide timely
support. Digital supervision also enables the sharing of best practices, collaborative planning,
and dissemination of relevant resources. By utilizing technology, principals can efficiently
oversee the implementation of online teaching strategies and tailor their support to meet the
evolving needs of teachers in the digital learning environment.
In summary, while the perception of traditional classrooms as the sole venue for
learning persists among the public, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the education
sector's entry into the digital age. This transition has necessitated using technology, such as
mobile phones, laptops, and internet connectivity, for learning (Hertiavi, 2020; Sørensen &
Levinsen, 2015).
The perception of traditional classrooms has influenced the adoption of digital learning
tools by challenging the conventional notion of learning spaces. With the shift towards online
education, video conferencing platforms, interactive learning applications, and virtual
classrooms have become integral. The perception of classrooms has evolved to include virtual
environments where learning can occur seamlessly, fostering the integration of various digital
tools to enhance the educational experience.
As we embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technological advancements have
significantly impacted educational institutions, particularly teachers and students. As
educational policymakers, school principals are responsible for cultivating teachers'

involving principals and teachers, enhances shared commitment and innovation. Virtual faceto-face meetings are pivotal for effective communication, positively influencing subsequent
supervision stages. Thoughtfully defined objectives and criteria guide a purposeful approach,
leading to measurable improvements. Clear benchmarks facilitate systematic success
evaluation, contributing to overall supervision effectiveness. The adaptability of the planning
process and continuous improvement loops reinforce efficiency and positive outcomes. 2)
Supervision Implementation: School principals conduct the academic supervision process
following the meticulous planning phase. Within this stage, they systematically assess the
competencies and performance of teachers in delivering online education to young children.
This evaluation process involves the identification of both strengths and areas requiring
improvement. The resulting findings serve as a valuable reference point for providing
constructive feedback and formulating targeted solutions to enhance the educational
experience. The meticulous implementation stage, led by school principals, signifies a crucial
transition from planning to action. Principals systematically evaluate teacher competencies in
online education delivery, emphasizing identifying strengths and areas for improvement. The
resulting findings become a valuable reference for targeted solutions and constructive
feedback. This process shapes individual teacher development and enhances the overall
educational experience. 3) Data Analysis: After the implementation phase, the data collected
undergoes meticulous analysis. This pivotal stage is critical in guiding decision-making
processes and formulating tangible solutions to resolve issues identified during the academic
supervision process. The outcomes of this thorough analysis serve as an informed basis for
initiatives to enhance teacher competencies and, consequently, the overall effectiveness of the
educational endeavor. The critical stage of data analysis post-implementation is pivotal in
informing decision-making and devising tangible solutions. This analysis serves as a
foundation for initiatives aimed at improving teacher competencies and, subsequently,
enhancing the overall effectiveness of the educational endeavor. 4) Feedback and Follow-Up:
Subsequently, school principals engage in a feedback and follow-up stage of the academic
supervision process. Principals offer comprehensive feedback during this phase, providing
valuable comments and insightful observations. This feedback is thoughtfully communicated
through online platforms such as Zoom meetings, facilitating efficient and meaningful

exchanges. Furthermore, principals undertake a proactive follow-up process to ensure that the
insights and findings from the academic supervision contribute effectively to teacher
improvement. This follow-up also involves alignment with pertinent regulations to ensure
compliance and consistency in educational practices. The feedback and follow-up stage is
crucial to the academic supervision process, contributing significantly to teacher
improvement. Reporting: The concluding stage necessitates principals to compile
comprehensive reports detailing the academic supervision process. These reports serve as a
crucial mechanism for accountability, encompassing critical information. They comprise
observation instruments, the outcomes of teacher observations, learning materials crafted by
educators, and accompanying documentation, which may include screenshots of activities.
The act of reporting meticulously maintains transparency and instills a structured approach
in executing academic supervision, facilitating a well-documented record of the entire process.
Conclusion
This study highlights the limited effectiveness of digital-based supervision in
enhancing the competencies of early childhood educators. This inadequacy stems from
educators' lack of digital literacy, insufficient institutional preparedness, and suboptimal
digital communication channels between educators and school administrators. Based on these
findings, principals and administrators in early childhood education settings are strongly
recommended to prioritize digital literacy training for educators. Addressing the critical need
for essential facilities and infrastructure is imperative to support effective digital learning
initiatives. Moreover, principals and administrators should proactively establish continuous
communication channels and foster collaboration among early childhood educators, parents,
and young learners. Sustained engagement in these relationships can contribute to a more
supportive learning environment. In the realm of digital learning and monitoring within early
childhood education, adopting user-friendly, specialized applications accessible to all
stakeholders is deemed essential. This strategic move allows early childhood education to
harness the full potential of digital tools, ultimately enhancing educator competencies and
providing a more enriching learning experience for young children.
