The enrichment program is a learning service provided to students who have achieved or exceeded the minimum mastery criteria, giving them opportunities to broaden and deepen their competencies. This study aims to compare the motivation and Geography learning outcomes of Grade X students at SMA Negeri 6 Maluku Tengah who participated in project-based enrichment and independent-assignment enrichment programs on the topic of the Geosphere Environment. The study employed a comparative quantitative approach with a sample of 28 students selected through purposive sampling. Fourteen students participated in project-based enrichment, while the other 14 students participated in independent-assignment enrichment. Data were collected through learning achievement tests, learning motivation measurements, observations, and documentation, and were then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the project-based enrichment group achieved an average learning motivation score of 84.6 and a posttest score of 88.2, while the independent-assignment group achieved an average learning motivation score of 76.3 and a posttest score of 82.7. A descriptive difference of 8.3 points was found in learning motivation and 5.5 points in learning outcomes. The findings indicate that the project-based group achieved higher descriptive outcomes. Project-based enrichment has the potential to serve as an alternative learning service for students who have already achieved mastery because it provides opportunities to explore, analyze, and apply Geography concepts to environmental phenomena. However, the results cannot yet be interpreted as statistically significant differences because no inferential statistical testing between the groups was conducted.
