HARMONISASI PERAN PELAKU PENDIDlKAN SEBAGAI UPAYA UNTUK MENGOPTIMALISASlKAN FUNGSI PENDIDlKAN

Abstract

While education has broad and complex dimensions with each
having its own problems, the problem-solving should be
comprehensive. A disorder in the Indonesian educational world has
been caused by, among others, a disharmony among the roles of the
agents of education (i.e., the family, society, and school). Each
performs with no coordination with any other of the agents. The
result is that the education has not produced human individuals who
are intellectually, socially, and religiously mature. Rather,
oppositely, it has become counterproductive. A segregation of the
roles has to be mapped clearly to avoid role overlaps which can
make some important roles left unperformed.
The school, as a formal educational institution, is ideally the
instrument enabling the maturation of students' intellectuality, their
moral attitudes and behaviors, and their contextual skills so that
what they obtain from school could be implemented in the society
where they live. Society, as the environment where students
associate with others, is ideally to give them enough room of trust in
the course of motivating them for self-actualization, to restrain from
demanding too much of them, to take part in monitoring and
evaluating them, and to give material and non-material support. The
family is a very central place for students' education, where certain
other family members become role models and influence their
psychological growth. The family condition becomes a determining
factor of the success in their education at school and in society
