Abstract

This study examines how quarterly supervision (supervisi triwulan) at MI Al Makmur Sarangan functions as a substantive and recurring contextual invitation, and how this experience longitudinally reshapes parents' role construction and parental self-efficacy. Using a secondary analysis of qualitative data originally collected for Pradika's (2024) undergraduate thesis, the study applies Braun and Clarke's (2006, 2021) reflexive thematic analysis through the lens of the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (HDS) model of parental involvement. Data sources include 14 written parental recommendation documents, in-depth interview transcripts from 18 participants (parents, teachers, and the principal), and supervision records spanning two time points (2022/2023 and 2024). Five themes were identified: (1) quarterly supervision operates as a layered, substantive invitation sustained by a closed feedback loop; (2) parents' role construction shifts from domestic reporting toward pedagogical diagnostic partnership; (3) parental self-efficacy strengthens through visible impact, functioning as a mastery experience; (4) three design mechanisms—anonymization, cross-family interviewing, and implementation transparency—collapse the cultural power hierarchy between parents and teachers; and (5) these mechanisms cyclically reinforce positive child outcomes. The study's principal theoretical contribution is the concept of a leveling mechanism: a structural precondition for contextual invitations to function effectively within hierarchical cultural settings, extending the HDS model beyond its original formulation toward the ecology of inclusive, rural Islamic primary education in Indonesia.
