Evaluation of the biology book for Sixth grade science (biology) according to the international education standards

The study aimed to evaluate the biology textbook for Sixth grade science (biology) according to the CFBT international education standards. To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher used the descriptive approach, where the researcher prepared a list of CFBT criteria, which consisted of two fields (scientific research - biology) and according to four main criteria and twenty sub-indicators for the first field (scientific research), 13 main criteria and 61 sub-indicators for the second field ( Biology), and in this study, the researcher found a lack of interest in the biology book for the third intermediate grade in the CFBT standards compared to the spoken percentage adopted by the researcher by the experts. Keywords: Curriculum evaluation - CFBT standards - Biology book- Sixth grade science (biology).

Species Diversity of Earthworm in the Field of Biology Gadjah Mada University

The Earthworms are one of the invertebrate species which hasn’t backbone. The Earthworm has lived in a few habitats, for example in the humid of forest ground with the high density of cover canopy. Field of Biology UGM is an artificial forest and has a high density of cover canopy and this condition can supported the living habitat of earthworms. The aim of this research were investigated species diversity of earthworm in the field of Biology UGM.. Sampling method was carried out with purposive random sampling method. Result obtained that the earthworms in the field Biology of UGM consist of three species. The Three species were Pheretima hawayana, Pheretima sp., and Eudrilus eugeniae. Data analysis was used UPGMA method by 3.1 MVSP Program and obtained that generally, similarity percentage of P. hawayana, Pheretima sp., dan E. eugeniae interspecies more than 55 %. Whereas similarity percentage of P. hawayana and Pheretima sp. more than 85 %.
