TRANSFORMATION OF LEGAL LITERACY OF INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS THROUGH CONTINUING EDUCATION BASED ON LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)

Abstract

This Certification Program/Continuing Education (CE) using the Learning Management System (LMS) platform studies covering social and legal risks that not only include legal disputes in the country where migrant workers are located, but also disputes between migrant workers' families in the country where they work. Cases of human trafficking, drug networks, and the problem of low competence of migrant workers, illegal immigrants etc. One of the main causes of this is that immigrant workers do not understand the national and international laws (legal literacy) related to their activities. Currently, before starting work in the destination country, migrant workers are required to attend training programs in labor law, but legal knowledge is not highly valued. On the other hand, the legal ignorance of migrant workers remains a challenge. The purpose of this research is to provide a Continuing Education Program for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) to add insight and of course can be a protection for themselves, especially those related to law without having to take a Bachelor's Degree. This research uses positivist, interpretative, and critical techniques to analyze problems or topics that arise from research. the analysis used in this research is descriptive-prescriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that there are still many legal problems that arise caused by Indonesian Migrant Workers, both those that appear in the media and those that are hidden. Therefore, it is hoped that the academic world, especially the Universitas Terbuka, which is considered the most able to become a mainstay campus to become a pioneer in educating all the nation's children, must pay more attention to Migrant Workers so that there are no more legal problems caused by PMI abroad.
