Abstract

Physics consists of concepts that are macroscopic and microscopic, physics concepts that are microscopic or Physics concepts that are invisible or unobservable. If the phenomenon that is microscopic can be understood then the macroscopic phenomenon will also be easy to understand. This research aims to produce a Massive Open Online Simulation (MOOS) online course on microscopic concepts that enhances creative thinking skills. The research method used was Embedded Experiment Design with research subjects being 60 high school students at one campus in the province of Jakarta, Indonesia. The results showed that the average normalized gain score <g> creative thinking skills increased by 0.54 with the medium category. These results indicate that MOOS on microscopic concepts increases students creative thinking skills.
