As informants are faculty and students who teach and learn using competency and conservation-based curriculum for General Biology subjects. Data obtained in the form of descriptions of learning activities and interviews with informants. The data were analyzed later narrated. The results show the development of conservation-based character education values can begin of simple things that happen in the process of active and effective learning. Furthermore, teachers can pull things demonstrated by cognitive, affective and behavioral students of both positive and negative to the corresponding construct ten conservation value of character education.

The problem of this study were (1) how the model construction and evaluation instruments (2) whether the instrument can be used to evaluate the results of the implementation of learning English curriculum in Biological Science Education Program UNNES lecturer in terms of performance indicators. Development of research aims to produce an evaluation instrument and whether the instrument can be used to find English-language classes are conducted in accordance with the expected success criteria I-MHERE program for faculty performance indicators. Methods of model development to take some model development procedure Borg & Gall. Model validation is done through focus group discussions and request a written opinion of an expert. The data were analyzed descriptively and used to produce products in the form of evaluation instruments for use in model evaluation context, input, prosses, and product or the Stufflebeam CIPP. The results component in the form of instruments to evaluate faculty input, the input component of the curriculum, and the components of the curriculum implementation process of learning English I-MHERE Prodi Education in Biology, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, in particular to review the indicators UNNES lecturer. The instrument has been developed to serve the purpose of such instruments are developed until the early trials.
