Abstract

The coast surrounds areas geographically of the archipelago. Most of the fathers there work at sea, sail or go overseas. The business of sailing and going overseas makes the father figure far from home, even though one of the functions of father’s care is to support academic success. The purpose of this paper is to find out how father’s involvement in parenting, especially concerning academic success. This research data comes from observations and interviews with research participants’ families. The results showed that the father’s involvement in parenting can be done with co-parenting. Co-parenting is a figure who replaces the father’s role temporarily when the father is not at home. The study’s results found that children who were successful in academics but whose fathers were not at home had other figures such as grandparents or uncles, communicated intensely with their children and wives and took time during holidays to be involved with their children’s activities. Meanwhile, another child who did not have a figure tended to be weak, had less communication with the child, could not be close when he returned home and was less academically successful. He had problems with offenses and did not continue to higher levels. The author suggests the need for parental involvement. If no other options exist, it can be replaced with another figure who can direct and care for children.
