The Meaning and Characteristics of Context and Students’ Context Preferences in Science Education

This study aims to define the “context” used in designing science lessons for the context-based education approach and determining the attributes related to the use of this concept. This study is an extensive literature review. Articles associated with context-based education have been scanned from...
