Model Coaching SORONG-GROW Berbasis Kebutuhan Industri untuk Penguatan Kinerja Guru di SMKN 1 Kabupaten Sorong SORONG-GROW Coaching Model Based on Industry Needs for Strengthening Teacher Performance at SMKN 1 Kabupaten Sorong
Main Article Content
Abstract
Strengthening vocational high school teachers’ performance requires support that considers industry competency needs and gaps in school curricula. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the SORONG-GROW Coaching Model and analyze its contribution to strengthening teacher performance at SMK Negeri 1 in Sorong Regency. This model integrates the mapping of occupational requirements and industry competency needs through Scanning Occupational Requirement of the Market (SORO), school gap analysis through Navigating Gaps of Curriculum (NG), and support through the Goal, Reality, Options, and Will (GROW) stages. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, coaching worksheets, monitoring logbooks, school documents, and Collaborative Inquiry records. The evidence analyzed included NG mapping before and after the intervention, the implementation of two coaching cycles, and reflections by the principal and the development team. The results showed that the school’s alignment with industry needs increased from 28% on 6 May 2025 to 66% on 7 April 2026, while the gap decreased from 72% to 34%. Based on reflections from Cycle II, approximately 98% of teachers were reported to have delivered instruction as expected, while approximately 2% still required further support. These changes coincided with strengthened academic supervision, curriculum evaluation, industry-oriented instruction, and collaborative follow-up. These findings indicate the potential of coaching based on diagnosis, reflection, and monitoring to help principals guide teachers’ professional development in accordance with school and industry needs. However, the single-school case study design does not allow the observed changes to be attributed solely to the implementation of coaching.
