Although the studies on Context-Based Learning (CBL) within the scope of science are increasingly blooming in recent years, original studies offering new perspectives still remain limited in numbers. This shows that in order to increase the quality of studies on CBL in science, physics, chemistry, and biology teaching, there is a need for more inclusive studies and to ensure these new studies are original in their content. The aim of this study is to emphasize the need for CBL in high school science teaching by making a bibliometric review of the literature on CBL within the scope of science on the Web of Science (WOS). Performing a search in WOS by limiting "Science education and education research" with the title filter and "Context-based" keyword, a total of 545 studies were found. These studies were visualized using the VOSviewer 1.6.18 program. In this study descriptive statistical analysis, citation analysis, co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, and bibliographic matching analysis methods were used. The findings show that CBL is recorded in six main research areas: "Context-Based Learning", "Context-based approach", "Context-based problems", "Chemistry teaching", "Context-based responsibilities" and "Professional development of teachers". Although there have been intensive studies on CBL in the last 7 years, more qualified studies are needed within the scope of science education. There is a need for qualified studies on CBL for teachers to improve their teaching techniques and to overcome the gap in studies that facilitate students' learning.
