Quasi-experimental design with pre-post test control group was employed in this study. Context based approach was used for experimental group of 41 students, and the control group of 53 students were exposed to traditional learning approach by the same teacher over a pe- riod of 8 weeks in department of elementary school education. Academic science achievement test and scienti c process skill test were given to both groups as pre-test and post-test. It was observed in the results that there was a meaningful difference between context based learning and traditional in learning on student’s success and student’s scienti c process skill. </span> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>}, number={4}, publisher={Igdir University}
