Abstract

Father involvement in children’s education is often still regarded as a secondary role, this condition creates an imbalance of roles within the family, which then encouraged the school, SDN Kertajaya Surabaya to initiate the Sekolah Bersama Ayah (SEBAYA) as an effort to increase fathers’ participation in the educational process. The study aims to analyze the implementation of the SEBAYA Program, identify its supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine the role of fathers within the program through the Qirā’ah Mubādalah framework (an interpretive approach emphasizing reciprocity and equal partnership between men and women in carrying out family functions). A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, participating fathers, and accompanying teachers, as well as direct observation of the activities. The findings indicate that the SEBAYA Program is implemented through father–child accompaniment activities on the first day of school as a way to strengthen the role of the father in the family. Supporting factors include government policies, teacher’s support, and the enthusiasm of the fathers. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors involve fathers’ limited working time, insufficient understanding of caregiving roles, and the condition of students who do not have a father. From the Qirā’ah Mubādalah perspective, this program aligns with the principles of reciprocity and justice within the family, emphasizing that childcare is not solely the responsibility of the mother but a shared duty between father and mother as a unified parental unit.


ABSTRACT INDONESIAN
Keterlibatan ayah dalam pendidikan anak seringkali dipandang sebagai peran sekunder, sehingga pengasuhan dan pendampingan belajar lebih banyak dibebankan kepada ibu. Kondisi ini menimbulkan ketimpangan peran dalam keluarga. Untuk menanggapi polemik ini, SDN Kertajaya Surabaya menginisiasi Program Sekolah Bersama Ayah (SEBAYA) sebagai upaya meningkatkan partisipasi ayah dalam proses pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pelaksanaan program SEBAYA, mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya, serta mengkaji peran ayah dengan perspektif Qiraah Mubādalah (sebuah pendekatan tafsir yang menekankan prinsip kesalingan dan kemitraan setara antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam menjalankan fungsi keluarga). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan kepala sekolah, ayah peserta program, dan guru pendamping, serta observasi langsung kegiatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Program SEBAYA dilaksanakan dengan kegiatan pendampingan ayah pada hari pertama sekolah sebagai penguatan peran keluarga. Faktor pendukung program meliputi kebijakan pemerintah, dukungan guru, serta antusiasme sebagian ayah. Adapun faktor penghambatnya mencakup keterbatasan waktu kerja ayah, kurangnya pemahaman terkait peran pengasuhan, dan kondisi siswa yang tidak memiliki ayah. Dalam perspektif qiraah mubadalah, program SEBAYA selaras dengan prinsip kesalingan dan keadilan dalam keluarga, yakni bahwa pengasuhan bukan hanya tanggung jawab ibu, tetapi merupakan tugas bersama ayah dan ibu sebagai satu kesatuan keluarga.
