Comparison of learning media using teachers of Physics Senior High School in West Sumatra with curriculum demands

The revised 2013 edition of the curriculum requires daily context-based physics learning and the ability to solve problems. Learning as expected will be realized if supported by the right learning media. Research has been conducted to determine the compatibility between the learning media used by senior high school Physics teachers in West Sumatera and the demands of the curriculum. Applying survey research methods, using questionnaire instruments and observation sheet. A survey of 24 unit of senior high schools in West Sumatera was conducted. Information was obtained that almost teachers in the school observed using Power Point, less than half used experiment equipment and simulation programs such as PhET only for three competencies, the rest conventional learning only using Point Power. This shows that learning does not take place in accordance with the demands of the curriculum, because the curriculum requires students as subjects and centers of learning, while learning with both media used by the teachers does not facilitate students to do or work. From the observations obtained information that laboratory equipment available in schools is not used, because it is not in accordance with the demands of the curriculum. This information shows that senior high school physics learning requires learning media in accordance with the demands of the curriculum. One of the physics learning media that is in accordance with the demands of the curriculum and millennium is based-ICT. This is contextual physics-based learning videos. This media is more appropriate because it can involve all the senses of students in learning. Therefore it is necessary to develop Contextual-based learning media.
