ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil karakter courage anak usia dini pada kondisi
keluarga single parents dengan latar belakang bercerai. Karakter courage yang dimaksud
dalam penelitian ini adalah kekuatan emosional yang melibatkan pelaksanaan kehendak
untuk mencapai tujuan dalam menghadapi oposisi, baik itu tantangan eksternal maupun
tantangan internal. Karakter courage terdiri dari keberanian, kegigihan, integritas dan vitality
yang ada pada anak. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui studi fenomenologis, dengan melakukan
wawancara dan observasi kepada subjek penelitian, yaitu ibu single parents dan ayah single
parents. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di sekolah dan rumah subjek, di Kota Bandung. Melalui
analisis grounded theory, penelitian ini mendapatkan hasil bahwa profil karakter courage

anak usia dini pada single parents dipengaruhi oleh respon single parents terhadap anak,
kontrol single parents terhadap anak, nurturance dari orangtua yang terpisah, dan peran
significant other sebagai figur pengasuh pengganti. Permasalahan yang sering ditemui di
lapangan adalah, kesulitan dan keterbatasan single parents dalam menjalankan perannya
sebagai ayah, dan juga sebagai ibu. Biasanya kesulitan dan keterbatasan single parents akan
menghasilkan karakter yang cenderung berlawanan dengan karakter courage, seperti
pengecut, tidak percaya diri, kecemasan, kemalasan, menyerah, tidak mau mencoba,
berbohong, memaksakan kehendak sendiri kepada orang lain, kurang mampu bersosialisasi,
perilaku agresif, depresi, lamban, lesu, dan merasa tak bernyawa. Bagi orang tua single
parents diharapkan dapat melakukan pengasuhan yang tepat bagi anak dalam rangka
mengembangkan karakter courage pada anak. Selain itu, dibutuhkan penelitian selanjutnya di
lapangan untuk mengkaji lebih jauh terkait dengan pembentukan karakter courage anak pada
kondisi keluarga single parents.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate courage character profile of early childhood in family
condition of single parents in divorce situation. Courage character means the emotional
power which involves the desire implementation of achieving their goals in order to face
oppositions, both external and internal challenges. Courage character consists of bravery,
persistence, integrity, and vitality in their selves. This study was conducted through
phenomenology study by using interview and observation to the subject which were mothers
and fathers who take the role as single parent. This study was carried out in the subject school
and house, in Bandung. Through the analysis of grounded theory, the results showed that
courage character profile of early childhood in single parents are influenced by the response

and control of the single parents to their children, the nurturance from the parents who
divorce, and the role of significance other as the substitute caregiver figure. The problems
which often occurred in the field are the difficulties and limitations of single parents in their
role as a father, as well as the mother. Usually, the difficulties and limitations of single
parents will produce a character which tend to be contrary to the courage character such as
coward, insecure, anxiety, laziness, give up, unwilling to try, lied, impose their own will to
others, less able to socialize, aggressive behavior, depression, sluggish, lethargic, and feeling
lifeless. Thus, single parents are expected to undertake appropriate care for their children in
order to develop the courage character in their children. In addition, further research on this
field is needed to assess the study deeply related to the formation of the courage character
profile of early childhood in family condition of single parents.
