PARENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD BILINGUAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

Vania Hendra Gunawan

ABSTRACT

English is an international language around the world. Even in Indonesia, English is widely used by many people. That is why nowadays many parents send their children to a bilingual school to learn and speak in two languages. This study was conducted to investigate on parents’ attitudes toward bilingual education programs. Therefore, the question in this study is: “What were parents’ attitudes toward a bilingual education program?” One hundred participants were selected from four bilingual kindergartens in Salatiga. They were parents whose children were at the age of 5 to 6 years old. A questionnaire with fourteen closed-ended items and three open-ended items was used to collect the data. The researcher presented the data into three general themes based on Bernstein’s study (1991), the three components are (1) Cognitive Attitude: Parents’ opinion toward Bilingual Education Program, (2) Affective Attitude: Parents’ feeling toward Bilingual Education Program, and (3) Behavior Attitude: Parents’ behavior toward Bilingual Education Program. The results indicate that the majority of the parents have positive attitudes toward bilingual education program. They believed that by studying in a bilingual education program, their children will be more confident, fluent in two languages and have a better future.
