Education in Family and Society

Abstrak

The family is the smallest unit of society, consisting of the head of the family and several people who gather and live under one roof in interdependence. In a family, two or more persons join because of blood relations, marital relations, living in one household, interacting with each other and in their respective roles, and creating and maintaining a culture. Education in human life is very complex; this is evidenced by the large number of people who are not educated and whose social status is not paid attention to or is set aside. One example of work is becoming a village official or head of the village; education status is just one of the conditions for being accepted to work. This proves that education has a significant influence on the lives of people in general. Education can at least provide insight and knowledge by developing the potential of every human being, so that people’s lives can improve by using a qualitative research method with a type of narrative research. The result is that education in the family is the process of forming a child’s personality and development, carried out by parents. Family education is the basis of children’s education at school and in the community. The educational materials or curriculum taught in the family should be adjusted to the needs and goals of education. The educational materials that will be given to children should be based on religious foundations, philosophical foundations, psychological foundations, and social foundations. Religion-based education will help children have a strong faith in God Almighty, who will form a pious and noble person.
