<![CDATA[ABSTRACTCharacter education must be carried out collectively and massively, including in the family environment. This study aims to describe the socialization of character values in single parent families in Bojonegoro. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, and takes place in Dusun Beton, Kedungadem District, Bojonegoro Regency. The research informants were single parents who were selected purposively. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and extracting secondary data, and were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model. The socialization of character education in single parent families in Bojonegoro is distinguished by the time of the divorce and the age of the child. In a single parent family, when the child's age of divorce is still small, it has an impact on the lack of character education. Divorce that occurs in parents gives value to the child's understanding to repeat and not to repeat it in the future. Children in single parent families get more understanding and examples of behavior as well as values and norms in high school. In addition, a child sees himself as a victim of his parents' behavior. While the social learning process is at the stage of imitation and modeling.Keywords: education, character, family, single parent AbstrakPendidikan karakter harus dilakukan secara kolektif dan masif, termasuk di lingkungan keluarga.

Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan penggalian data sekunder, serta dianalisis menggunakan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Sosialisasi pendidikan karakter pada keluarga single parent di Bojonegoro dibedakan berdasarkan waktu terjadinya perceraian dengan usia anak. Pada keluarga single parent yang waktu perceraiannya usia anak masih kecil berdampak minimnya pendidikan karakter. Peceraian yang terjadi pada orangtua memberikan nilai terhadap pemahaman anak untuk mengulang dan tidak mengulanginya di masa depan. Anak pada keluarga single parent lebih banyak mendapatan pemahaman dan contoh perilaku serta nilai dan norma di sekolah menengah. Selain itu, seorang anak menganggap dirinya sebagai korban terhadap perilaku orangtuanya. Sedangkan proses pembelajaran sosial berada pada tahap peniruan dan modeling.Kata Kunci: pendidikan, karakter, keluarga, orang tua tunggal]]>
