Abstract

Thermodynamics is part of an important concept in understanding the concept of physics and the results of preliminary studies conducted by research show that the ability of scientific communication in the category is very low. The purpose of this study was to develop a Massive Online Simulation (MOS) Integration system of Thermodynamics for Increasing Scientific Communication. FODEM was chosen in developing the MOS media consisting of three related components (1) needs analysis, (2) implementation, (3) formative evaluation. The results of the MOS research that have been developed on thermodynamic material are effectively used in physics learning media and are based on N-gain calculations with an increase of 0.67 (medium category). These results indicate that MOS has been successfully developed and is effective in improving students^ scientific communication on the concept of thermodynamics.
