PERAN KELUARGA SEBAGAI BASIS PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER ANAK: TELAAH PEMIKIRAN ABDURRAHMAN AN-NAHLAWI DAN KI HAJAR DEWANTARA

Abstract

Character education is a central issue in the modern era, where the family plays a fundamental role in forming akhlak al-karimah (noble character) as the primary goal of tarbiyah (Background). This study aims to examine the role of the family in children's character formation according to Abdurrahman An-Nahlawi and Ki Hajar Dewantara, and to find the point of convergence (synthesis) between Islamic and national education perspectives (Objective). The method used is qualitative (qualitative method) and library research with comparative analysis (comparative analysis) of the original works of both figures (Method). The main findings indicate that An-Nahlawi emphasizes the family as the main fortress with the roles of Religious Builder and Protector, while Dewantara places the family as the center of Budi Pekerti (moral character) through the roles of Guide/Teacher and Role Model (Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha). Both figures converge on Modeling (Keteladanan) as the core of success. In Conclusion, their thoughts are synergistic, where the Budi Pekerti framework can be filled with An-Nahlawi's spiritual substance. This success depends on warm interaction, parental modeling, and active partnership between the family and the school.
