In line with this goal, in <br />science; it is important to bring students to the level of inventions and innovations by providing an interdisciplinary perspective to <br />problems by integrating them with mathematics, technology and engineering. It is possible for students to create products by using <br />the knowledge and skills they have acquired, to determine how to add value to these products, and to create products from their <br />studies by using the laboratory-based learning approach in science teaching (MEB, 2018). The aim of this study is to examine the studies <br />carried out in the field of science education on the Laboratory-Based Learning Approach in terms of some variables, especially between <br />the years 2010-2020. <br />Design/Methodology/Approach: 144 studies were reached in the study. These studies consisted of 69 articles, 53 master theses and <br />22 doctoral dissertations on laboratory-based learning approach. Document analysis method was used in this study. The obtained data <br />were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method and the results were given as percentage and frequency values. <br />Findings: Scientific studies related to the Laboratory-Based Learning Approach in Science education were carried out mostly in article <br />type (48%), then in the type of master thesis (37%) and in the type of doctoral thesis (15%). In articles and postgraduate theses on <br />Laboratory-Based Learning between 2010 and 2020, it was observed that the studies were mostly conducted in 2017 (13.2%) and at <br />least in 2020 (1.4%). However, it is seen that the studies on Laboratory Based Learning gained momentum between 2017 and 2019. <br />Highlights: According to the results of this study; In studies conducted in the field of laboratory-based science education, it has been <br />observed that quantitative research methods are often preferred. Publications in the type of articles are more than master’s and <br />doctoral theses, the studies mainly focus on the subject of "The effect of various methods applied in the laboratory on laboratory <br />attitudes", that the most sample group in these studies are teacher candidates and the most preferred measurement tool is "success <br />test" It has been determined. <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Kastamonu University}
