Konstruksi Orang Tua Laki-Laki Tentang Pendidikan Seksual Anak Perempuan Pada Keluarga Pekerja Migran Perempuan Di Kecamatan Babadan Kabupaten Ponorogo

Abstract

Sexual education is defined as a form of effort to teach, raise awareness and explain sexual problems to children. Socialization of sexual education is important as a form of effort to avoid deviations that are now increasingly prevalent and provide protection for children. One of them is the increasing number of early marriages in Ponorogo Regency in 2020. The increase in the number of early marriages is triggered by one of the factors, namely premarital pregnancy at an early age. In the families of female migrant workers, the male parents should play this role. The construction of male parents on sexual education which is still a taboo and sensitive issue makes sexual education not a priority. This study aims to analyze the process of social construction of parents of men and
women's sexual education in the families of migrant workers in Babadan District, Ponorogo Regency. This study uses qualitative research methods with the social construction perspective of Peter L. Berger. Research informants are male parents of female migrant worker families who have daughters aged 11–18 years. The results in this study indicate that there are different constructs  between each parent which are influenced by experience and information received. However, on the whole, parents understand and interpret that sexual education is not just teaching about sexual  relations. Parents also have the notion that education is teaching about ethics in getting along with the opposite sex, teaching about sex identity, teaching about the private body, to teaching  development and caring for the body. Parents get a new assumption about the construction of sexual education for girls, but at the internalization stage, male parents do not actualize their knowledge.
