Abstract

Abstract. The reconstruction of thermodynamic learning aims to develop and innovate more active and student-centered learning, in addition to providing skills such as problem-solving and reflective thinking skills through collaborative problem-solving (CPS). Development of students ability to solve problems, effectively carried out in groups in which they are encouraged to exchange arguments, combine knowledge and skills in finding solutions. The reconstruction of thermodynamic learning is developed with the help of interactive simulations with the aim of understanding abstract concepts, cycles and graphs and derivatives games with the objective of assisting in the understanding of thermodynamic mathematics. Method used in this research was design and development research (DDR). DDR stages that had been done in this research were the design and development model which was the design of CPS based thermodynamic learning model and the development of learning tools including: syllabus, semester learning plan, learning activity, and learning experience.

Keywords: thermodynamic learning,collaborative problem-solving (CPS),interactive simulations, derivatives games
