The purpose of this research was to investigate the understanding of the natural selection theory in detail. A questionnaire was made based on the Mayr model. That model was composed of five facts and three reasonings, based on the natural selection theory of Darwin. When we showed a eight paragraphs composed of correct components based on the model, the average approval rating was 70-80%. But, for Fact 5 (individual variation), the approval rating was about 40%. The coefficients of correlation between each component wasn't strong. However, correlation was found between some components. Especially for the reasonings placed on the high rank (back side) in the model, the relations of the facts and reasonings were comparatively clear. But, the result of the path analysis showed that the model didn't strictly correspond to students' understanding. The Mayr model is useful for assessing student's understanding of the natural selection theory.
