Abstract

Abstract Assessment is one of the most important components in learning strategies are used to improve student learning and achievement check. The purpose of writing this article is used to determine the types of assessment on the understanding of the concept of biological material, material characteristics, and influences assessment of the understanding of biological concepts. This article discusses the 20 articles published in international journals from 2004 to 2019. The article analyzed the author obtained from database 6, which is Google Scholars, ScienceDirect, CBE, and Taylor & Francis. The analysis showed that the assessment is used to determine the understanding of biological concepts, are the concept of inventory, diagnostic tests, molecular and cell biology assessment, measuring of understanding macroevolution, genetic concept assessment, Gen-bio MAPS, biology core concept and multiple-choice instrument with a drawing activity. Forms of matter used in the form of multiple-choice, multiple-choice T / F, and an open-ended question. Topics to be used in the assessment of understanding the concept, are Plantae, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, microbiology, and photosynthesis. The assessment has used the positive and negative impact on the understanding of biological concepts.
