Impact of Character Education on the Child Academy.
Perhaps many are wondering exactly what is the impact of character education on academic success......? Several studies have sprung up to answer this quest, showed an increase in the motivation of school students in achieving academic achievement in schools that applied character education. Classes that are comprehensively involved in character education show a drastic decline in student negative behavior that can hinder academic success. Character education is character education plus, which involves aspects of knowledge (cognitive), feeling (feeling), and action (action).
Without these three aspects of character education will not be effective, and its implementation must be systematic and sustainable. With character education , a child will be emotionally intelligent . Emotional intelligence is the most important provision for preparing children for the future, because with it someone will be able to succeed in the face of all kinds of challenges, Including the challenge to succeed academically. This is in accordance with Daniel Goleman's opinion of one's success in society, 80 percent influenced by emotional intelligence , and only 20 percent determined by brain intelligence (IQ ). Children who have problems. of preparing children for the future , because with it someone will be able to succeed in the face of all kinds of challenges , Including the challenge to succeed academically .
This is in accordance with Daniel Goleman's opinion of one's success in society, 80 percent influenced by emotional intelligence, and only 20 percent determined by brain intelligence (IQ ). Children who have problems of their emotional intelligence, will have difficulty learning, socializing and can't control his emotions. These troubled children can already be seen since the pre-school age, and if left untreated will carry over into adulthood . Conversely, adolescents that are characterized or have high emotional intelligence will avoid the common problems faced by teenagers such as misbehavior, brawl, drugs, alcohol, free sex behavior, and so forth. Character education in schools is necessary, although the basis of character education is in the family.
If a child gets a good character education from his family , the child will have good character next . But many parents are more concerned with aspects of brain intelligence than character education .
In addition , many parents that fail in educating the character of their children either because of busyness or because it is more concerned with the cognitive aspects of children. But this can all be corrected by providing character education at school . But the problem is , the education policy of Indonesia is also more concerned with aspects of brain intelligence , and only recently the importance of character education becomes the subject of a lot of talks .
Some say that the education curriculum in Indonesia is made only suitable to be given to 10-20 percent of the best brains . This means that most school children (80-90 percent ) can not follow the school curriculum . As a result from an early age, most children will feel " stupid " because of the difficulty adjusting to the existing curriculum . Coupled with the ranking system that has " convicted " children that do not enter the " top 10 ", as a less intelligent child. Such a system would have a negative effect on the effort to build characte, which from the very beginning the children would have been "killed" their self-confidence.
Prolonged sense of inadequacy that will form an unconfident person, will create prolonged stress . In adolescence usually this condition will encourage teenagers to behave negatively. So, do not be surprised if we see the behavior of our teens that love fighting , criminal involvement , dropping out of school, and decreasing the quality of junior and senior high school graduates .
Family Environment Influences Children's Character Education
Family environment is an important factor of instilling character education of children, beyond the educational factors in schools and social environment. This family environment, can be started from the situation in the family and the pattern of education undertaken . If the pattern of character education in the middle of the family has been awakened properly, by itself the child will be easier to receive character education in school.
Similarly , when children have to intersect with the social environment. Because the problem now plays today many people that are stressful and depressed due to complex life issues. In this situation how can parents be able to provide the required character education, "to instill a good character education of the family needs to be seen first the condition of the parents . Most importantly , He threw out the depression of both parents in the midst of an increasingly complex life problem .
Unfortunately, nowadays, parents often neglect and submit character education of children to school. New problems arise when the teachers (teachers ) who should be able to provide this character education also have brought stress from home . Coupled with the social environment of the child that is less supportive, be the problem of character education is stagnant. If it is complex no one is to blame for the failure to instill this character education, Family failure of instilling character education can indeed start from a small thing in the family . How parents send children diligently to the mosque but the parents themselves also rarely does it. Or parents that warned their children not to smoke but parents do while smoking.
CONCLUSION
Character education or character plus is an urgent thing to do . If we care to improve the quality of elementary , junior and senior high school graduates, then without character education is a futile venture . Widely, parents, family, teachers, educational environment and society are ideal ideals of children . By their children become the ideal figure or figure on the process of identification , assimilation and sublimation. When the 'figure' of the child reveals something that leads to disappointment , then the children - his meeting - will experience a split personality. In this situation character education as desired will be difficult to build .

Interesting read, you bring up a lot of good information. Children's minds are developing a lot and that is when they are easily molded and influenced by the world around them. Things such as where they grow up, family, and school life all play a critical role. Hopefully, character education is more widespread as it's benefits are far too great.
thanks @notoriousrebel, this is what we should be aware of because children grow rapidly, so the role of parents, teachers are very influential in terms of child character development. and how we manage to direct them from being radical and out of control, when they grow up.
