The research was carried out with the 768 pre-service teachers in different universities in Turkey. The study consists of five parts including a literature review, an item pool, experts' opinions, administration of scale and computing the reliability and validity. While constituting the pool of items, an interview was carried out with 15 pre-service teachers regarding pedagogical content knowledge and 20 teachers were asked to write an essay related to this topic. The draft scale obtained was administered to 768 pre-service teachers and the result of factor analysis, the number of items was reduced to 38. Besides, the Cronbach-Alpha internal integrity coefficient of the final version of the scale was found to be 0.967. After computing the reliability of PCKS, the scale is ready to be used.

In this study, a descriptive content analysis method was used to analyzed 86 articles on contextbased learning in science education published in 67 different journals. According to some variables such as the year of publication, purpose, area, method, sample, number of samples, data collection tool and data analysis techniques. The Research Classification Form developed by the researchers was used in the analysis of the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive content analysis. Most studies in the field of context-based learning approaches in science education were published in 2019. Most of the studies aimed to determine the effects of the method on achievement and attitude and were carried out within science. The experimental method was preferred among the quantitative methods in the studies. Most of the studies were conducted with secondary school students, and the number of participants was in the range of 0-100. Achievement tests and attitude scales were used extensively as data collection tools, and content analysis and t-test were used extensively in data analysis techniques. According to the results obtained in the research, it is suggested that the researches on the context-based learning approach should be conducted in areas other than science education.

In this quantitative study, a pre-test post-test non-equalized control group model of quasi-experimental design has been used. The study's sample comprises 64 students, 32 in the experimental and 32 in the control group, determined by the stratified sampling method. The research has taken place in four stages. Firstly, an achievement test for chemical bonds subject has been applied as a pre-test to both experimental and control groups. The researchers have developed the test; it consists of 33 questions. Secondly, chemical bonds have been taught to control groups with inquiry-based collaborative learning methods and experimental groups with inquiry-based online collaborative learning methods. The achievement test has been applied to both groups as a post-test in the third stage. The same test has been applied as a retention test six weeks later. In the analysis of tests, dependent and independent samples t-test have been used in p=.05 significance level. The research results show that the inquiry-based online collaborative learning method is more effective on students' success and permanent learning than other methods.
