Abstract

The purposes of this study were; 1) to apply the network analysis to evaluation of students' laboratory reports, 2) to test the applicability of the systematic network analysis. For this purposes, 7th grade 88 students from 22 middle schools in Inchon city of Korea were selected and their laboratory reports were evaluated by a evaluation criterion network developed in this study. The evaluation criterion consisted of 4 categories and 10 subcategories. The results of this study suggested that the network analysis approach was suitable one for the evaluation of students' laboratory reports. This was supported by total score distribution, means/weight, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient(0.70), and the subcategories' reliabilities. The resluts of the factor analysis indicated that the evaluation criterion network of this study had two factors.
