The sample, 108 teachers consisting of 75 female and 33 male teachers, were selected by using a proportional random sampling technique. The data were collected by using an online questionnaire which was arranged based on two indicators of content supervision of teacher professional improvement, namely commitment and the ability to think abstractly. The result shows that there are 16 contents of supervision related to commitment and abstraction needed by teachers for competency improvement and professional development.
