In the education sector of South Solok distric, it is still lagging behind other regions, this can be seen from the results of the 2016 UN ranking which is ranked 16th out of 19 cities /distric in West Sumatra. Based on observations and discussions conducted on several teachers and principals, this is due to the learning that students are more likely to wait for what is conveyed by the teacher or the learning is still teacher-centered. Then in learning the teacher has not used a variety of learning media. The media used cannot accommodate the facts of students' daily conditions, although in reality there are many types and various facts around students that can be developed and utilized to support learning.
