Indonesia has been implementing a basically competencybased curriculum which provides a large room for local potentials to be incorporated into the curriculum. This paper aims at describing the process of developing and implementing local content-based science curriculum, by using the case of the embedment of salakpondoh into the Islamic middle school science curriculum. The development of the curriculum followed the 4-D model of the research based development, i.e. Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. The Define phase was conducted through a thorough analysis of the national curriculum, local potentials as well as the characteristics of students and school environment. The Design phase was characterized by the development of the prototype of the curriculum. The prototype of the curriculum was then reviewed by 6 middle school science teachers from 3 types of middle schools in the district. The revised version of the curriculum was then implemented in the Public Madrasah Tsanawiyah(PMTs) of Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The result of this study shows that the prototype of the curriculum was given a good score by the teachers. It also was implemented in the PMTsand can increase the learning outcome of students well and also improve the cooperative skills.   Keywords - local content, salakpondoh, science curriculum, learning model, prototype, research and development

Due to problems related their content and use; textbooks do not achieve the expected effect in learning although they are one of the most important elements of the science curriculum. Questions in textbooks are also important criteria in determining the effect of textbooks. In this study, it was aimed to compare questions in four different science textbooks, both qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of objectives of curriculum. 2677 questions retrieved from primary school 3rd and middle school 5th and 6th grades textbooks were investigated comparatively in terms of their ratio across objectives in the curriculum, cognitive levels and types. According to the analysis, it was determined that there were differences between distributions of questions in the same and different grade level textbooks. It was also found that questions related to the objectives regarding input and processing skills were more than questions related to the objectives of output skills. Besides, it was observed that most of the questions in textbooks were aligned with traditional assessment and evaluation tools, and the ratio of the alternative type tools was found to be lower than the ratio of four different textbooks.
