The data on context-based learning were collected from the viewpoints of the students The data regarding the dependent variable were collected through the score of the tests. The research found a strong and significant link between context-driven learning and achievement in reading (R = 0.679). The R-squared value was 0.462. It means that the contribution of contextual learning to students’ reading success was 46.2%. Additional variables not included in this model impacted the remaining 53.8%.
