 Bu araştırma erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocuklara sahip ebeveynlerin, ailede karakter gelişimine ve çocuğun karakter eğitimine yönelik görüşlerini derinlemesine incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında karakter eğitiminde ailenin rolü, dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar, önemli görülen değer ve beceriler, çocuğun karakter eğitimi konusunda başvurulan yöntem, materyal veya uygulamalar, karakter gelişimini etkileyen faktörler, karşılaşılan zorluklar, bu zorluklarla başa çıkma konusundaki görüş ve uygulamalar ve karakter eğitimi üzerinde aile dışı kaynakların desteği incelenmiştir. Olgubilim deseninde tasarlanan bu nitel araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocuklara sahip olan 14 ebeveyn oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre ebeveynler karakter eğitiminde ailenin rolünü önemli görmektedir. Bu açıdan ebeveynler karakter eğitiminde olumlu aile ortamı, sağlıklı iletişim gibi hususlara dikkat çekmekte; karakter kazandırma sürecinde çeşitli yöntem, materyal ve uygulamaları işe koşmakta; olumsuz davranışlar karşısında bazı önlemler almakta; aile içi faktörler, yakın çevre faktörü ve teknoloji faktörünün karakter eğitiminde etkili olduğunu düşünmekte; karakter eğitiminde karşılaştıkları birtakım zorluklar olduğunu belirtmekte ve çocuklarının karakter eğitimi konusunda başta Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığının açmış olduğu 4-6 yaş grubu Kuran Kursları olmak üzere çeşitli kanallardan destek almaktadır. Ebeveynler olumsuz çevre şartlarının ve özellikle de sosyal medyanın çocuğun karakterini olumsuz yönde etkilediğini düşünmektedir.
