The study is carried out in the form of a case study. Semiconstructed interviews are used to collect data. The sample group consists of 12 physics teachers in MNE (Ministry of National Education) who teach in 9th grades. It is found that almost half of the teachers do not have enough information about context-based approach. One-third of the teachers does not ustextbooks, but the majorityty of the teachers shows sufficient information about the contexts in the textbook and also they think that contexts represent daily life events.
