| dc.description.abstract | This research is motivated by phenomena that occur in society and are influenced
by culture that is constructed or formed by society. Hutarakyat Village is a village
that has a strong patriarchal system and the majority are Toba Batak ethnicity. The
patriarchal system that exists in Hutarakyat village can be seen in the phenomenon
of how Batak Toba parents decide on higher education for girls. For the Toba Batak
people, the tendency for children's education is the main thing and goal of Toba
Batak parents, but it cannot be denied that the phenomenon of patriarchal
reproduction still occurs which results in women being marginalized in determining
higher education. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach.
Data was collected using primary and secondary data collection techniques, such
as: observing in Hutarakyat Village, conducting interviews and documentation,
where there were 10 informants with the criteria of Batak Toba girls who did not
continue their tertiary education. Data analysis was taken based on data
interpretation using data reduction components (information collection), data
presentation, data verification and drawing conclusions by providing information
and explanations of the data found. The results of the research illustrate how the
consciences of women are marginalized in terms of pursuing higher education.
Feelings of disappointment, inferiority and lack of self-confidence to see their
contemporaries continuing their higher education. In addition, the responses of
Batak Toba women when they realized the inequality they experienced were put
into three categories, namely: resistance, permissiveness and reproductive
response. Despite experiencing inequality in continuing higher education, Toba
Batak women are not always in a feeling of disappointment and sadness but they
take the next step, such as working and some continue to fight for higher education
by taking college tests the following year. | en_US |
