Abstract

This article is to describe the implementation of character education in elementary schools and parents’ concern for the character education of elementary school students in lower-income families. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method that aims to describe the implementation of character education in elementary schools. The research instrument used observation, interviews with 26 informants who were determined purposively. The results showed that the implementation of character education at SDN Kadiresa, from 6 families with the implementation of 5 values of character education, had not been implemented properly. This is due to barriers to busy parents, economic factors. Even so, parents are still trying to improve the condition. Teachers participate in trying to instill character by integrating character values into learning tools such as learning outcomes, teaching modules, and during learning activities, besides that the implementation of character education is not only carried out in the classroom but also outside the classroom, such as ceremonial activities. Flags which are held every Monday, Scouting extracurricular activities, as well as morning cultural habituation and community service. However, from the several efforts that have been made, not all of them have run optimally. It can be concluded that the implementation of character education for elementary school students tends to get character education through parental example rather than parental advice or attention. This is due to the lack of parental knowledge of character education.
