OPTIMIZATION OF THE SUPEREGO IN SIGMUND FREUD'S THEORY OF PSYCHOANALYSIS FOR THE CHARACTER EDUCATION OF LEARNERS (original) (raw)
The psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud is known for introducing the ego, superego and id in the human being. Although there is a lot of controversy over this theory, but in fact it is still used in the world of education. The superego and id are described as subconscious like an invisible part of an iceberg. Both are bigger than the egos that appear on the surface. The problem is that if id equals ego then superego equals zero. This means that the superego does not work. Thus immorality, and evil will more easily appear in human deeds. This paper aims to optimize the superego in the theory of Sigmund Freud in character education. If the superego is greater than the id then it is certain that the ego is the same as the superego. The approach used for the arguments of this paper is descriptive qualitative with a literature review approach. Studies that use literary sources related to psychoanalytic theory and its use in character education. The result is that the approach of Sigmund Freud's theory in character education with the optimization of the superego can prevent the potential of id from developing in the human being. The superego which consists of strengthening character, morals, love, and spirituality can restrain the development of id in a person to manifest in deeds (ego). This superego optimaslisation can be applied in basic education from an early age to strengthen character education in Indonesia.
