Abstract

The Constitution states that everyone has the right to attain the highest level of education without exception. However, there are still many children who have dropped out of school, including the Dayak community in Balangan district. This problem certainly needs to receive attention from all parties. If this problem is ignored, there is a possibility that children in the remote areas such as Dayak people in Balangan Regency will always be lagging. Children who dropped out or even do not attend school is thought to be closely related to parents' understanding of education, including the understanding of the applied educational styles. Therefore, the education styles of Dayak children in Balangan regency needs to be deeply studied. The objectives of this research are to know: (1) parents understanding about children's education, (2) styles applied by parents in children's education, and (3) factors influencing children's education styles of Dayak people in Balangan Regency. Data collection was done by interview and documentation techniques. The data obtained were analyzed descriptive qualitative. The results of this study indicate that the understanding of Dayak parents in Halong sub-district is categorized as good. They generally understand that education is very important. This can be seen from the answers of all informants who said that basically, they want their children to go to school as high as possible. The education styles applied by most Dayak people are permissive parenting and democratic styles. Factors affecting the children's education styles are (1) family social-economic level, (2) parent's education level, (3) distance between school and residence, (4) age, and (5) number of children.
