The Effect of Hots Oriented Worksheets with Barcode Asistant in Online Learning to The Students’ Critical and Creative Thinking On Heat and The Kinetic Theory of Gases Learning Topic in Grade Xi 1st Harau District Senior High School

Abstract

This study aims to see the effect of hots oriented job sheets with barcode assistance in online learning to the students' critical and creative thinking on heat and the kinetic theory of gases learning topic in grade xi of 1st harau district senior high school. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a randomized only control group design. This study involved two classes, the first class as the experimental class using hots-oriented job sheets with barcode assistance and the second class as the control class.
