This research aims to analyze the supervision of the presence of foreign workers by Commission II of the Bangka Tengah Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) and to formulate strategies for strengthening supervision in order to protect the rights of local workers. The background of this research is based on the increasing flow of foreign investment in Central Bangka, which encourages the entry of foreign workers into strategic sectors, particularly mining and processing. This condition has given rise to various challenges, ranging from overlapping authorities, weak verification of foreign workers' competencies, to the suboptimal implementation of knowledge transfer programs. The urgency of the research lies in the importance of the supervisory function of the DPRD as a legislative pillar in the trias politica system to ensure labor accountability and social justice. This research uses a socio-legal approach with qualitative methods through interviews, field observations, and document studies. The research results indicate that the supervision of foreign workers has not been optimal due to the absence of an integrated information system, weak inter-agency coordination, and irregularities in the validity periods of foreign workers permits. The novelty of this research lies in the empirical analysis of the role of the DPRD within the context of local institutions. This research concludes that an integrated technology-based monitoring system, competency verification SOPs, and the formation of cross-agency teams are needed as strategic recommendations to strengthen the supervisory function of the DPRD.
 
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengawasan terhadap keberadaan tenaga kerja asing (TKA) oleh Komisi II DPRD Bangka Tengah serta merumuskan strategi penguatan pengawasan dalam rangka melindungi hak tenaga kerja lokal. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada meningkatnya arus investasi asing di Bangka Tengah yang mendorong masuknya TKA ke sektor-sektor strategis, khususnya pertambangan dan pengolahan. Kondisi ini memunculkan berbagai tantangan, mulai dari tumpang tindih kewenangan, lemahnya verifikasi kompetensi TKA, hingga belum optimalnya program transfer pengetahuan. Urgensi penelitian terletak pada pentingnya fungsi pengawasan DPRD sebagai pilar legislatif dalam sistem trias politica untuk memastikan akuntabilitas ketenagakerjaan dan keadilan sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan socio-legal dengan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara, observasi lapangan, dan studi dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengawasan TKA belum berjalan optimal karena tidak adanya sistem informasi terpadu, lemahnya koordinasi antar lembaga, dan ketidakteraturan masa berlaku izin TKA. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis empirik peran DPRD dalam konteks kelembagaan lokal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dibutuhkan sistem pengawasan terpadu berbasis teknologi, SOP verifikasi kompetensi, serta pembentukan tim lintas lembaga sebagai rekomendasi strategis untuk memperkuat fungsi pengawasan DPRD.

This research trains the students’ ethnomedicine literacy by using project-based learning and augmented reality assistance and evaluating the learning effectiveness. The research method used was a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design, and a problem-based learning model was used as a control class. This research evaluates students' ethnomedicine literacy using descriptive statistical data analysis, n-gain scores, and ANCOVA tests. The research results showed differences in ethnomedicine literacy with an ANCOVA significance value of 0.08 between the experimental and control classes. Both classes showed increased ethnomedicine literacy, but the n-gain score for the experimental class was greater than that of the control class. Students' ethnomedicine literacy is higher in the experimental class because there are learning activities that empower ethnomedicine literacy, such as students are trained to be broad-minded, have positive attitudes and behavior related to ethnomedicine studies, working on simple manufacturing projects based on student research to get closer to the environment and society, and using AR as a simulation for testing the antibacterial power of medicinal plants. This research concludes that AR-assisted project-based ethnobotany learning is proven to be able to increase students' ethnomedicine literacy. This research can be helpful as a learning design reference to empower ethnomedicine or other literacy in biology.
