Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of contextual media with Arduino Uno-based media on students’ higher-order thinking skills on density material. The population of this research is class XII IPA MAN 1 Pontianak totaling six classes, with samples of class XII IPA A and class XII IPA B. This study is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest group design—sampling with a simple random technique to determine the experimental and control classes. The data collection technique used is a test in the form of pretest and post-test questions. The data analysis technique used is the one-party t-test based on the sig value and the normalized gain (N-gain). The results of research data analysis showed that contextual learning media with media based on Arduino Uno had a positive effect and improved students’ higher-order thinking skills than students who used conventional media. It is indicated by the results of the t-test with a value of sig. The post-test score is 0.001, and the results of the improvement test with the N-gain of the experimental class are in the medium category, higher than the control class category, namely low. So that learning physics using learning media based on Ardouno Uno has a positive effect and can improve students’ Higher Order Thinking skills.
