Development of the Biology Card Sorting Task to Measure Conceptual Expertise in Biology

The authors present the development of a novel assessment tool, the Biology Card Sorting Task, designed to probe how individuals organize their conceptual knowledge of biology. Results suggest that the task is robust in distinguishing populations of biology experts and novices and represents a usefu...
