“…In chemistry education, there are some studies that used context-based learning approach in the heat-temperature (Aktaş, 2013), periodic table (Demircioğlu, Demircioğlu & Çalık, 2009;Bennett, Gräsel, Parchmann & Waddington, 2005), electrochemistry (Belt, Leisvik, Hyde & Overton, 2005;King, Bellochi & Ritchie, 2008), chemical reactions (Barker & Millar, 1999); chemical bonds (Barker & Millar, 2000;Ekinci, 2010), chemical thermodynamics (Barker & Millar, 2000;Holman & Pilling, 2004;Belt, Leisvik, Hyde & Overton, 2005;Çiğdemoğlu & Geban, 2015), acids and bases (Ültay & Çalık, 2011;Demircioğlu, Vural & Demircioğlu, 2012), chemistry in our lives (Kutu & Sözbilir, 2011) and physcial and chemcal change (Demircioğlu, Dinç & Çalık, 2013). But a study which used the REACT strategy, a way of implementing the context-based learning (CBL) approach is not found in alkanes topic.…”
