Development of connected massive open online course (cMOOCs) based on multimedia for thermodynamics subject to improve students' self-directed learning outcomes

Abstract

This research aims to develop a connected Massive Open Online Course (cMOOCs) based on multimedia for thermodynamics subject to improve students' self-directed learning outcomes. Self-directed learning is for students to improve skill, gain achievement and knowledge, or self development and taken by self effort with any methods in any situation; ability to determine a learning goal, take an action to achieve that goal and evaluate learning effectivity of learning and learning outcomes. cMOOCs is an open online course that is free for many users to participate. This research subject is Thermodynamics related to heat and calor, temperature, thermodynamics laws, and energy exchange. This research method used ADDIE model with the following steps: Analyzing, Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating. Research was conducted in Physics education departement, State University of Jakarta for six months, started from October 2018 until April 2019. Students' self-directed learning outcomes improvement test was conducted by pre-test and post-test in two classes (class A and class B) with n-gain result of class A by 0.75 (high) and class B by 0.34 (medium). Results of validation test showed score 93.33% for material validation, 92.59% for media validation, and 92.60% for learning validation. It can be concluded that developed cMOOCs can improve students' self-directed learning outcomes.
