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