This study is motivated by the low levels of student motivation and learning outcomes in physics, which are associated with difficulties in understanding abstract concepts, the use of mathematical formulas, and limited active student participation during the learning process. The Discovery Learning model is an alternative student-centered learning approach that emphasizes the process of discovering concepts through six stages: stimulation, problem identification, data collection, data processing, verification, and generalization. Through the implementation of this model, students are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills, increase their curiosity, and build an understanding of physics concepts through direct learning experiences. This study focuses on analyzing students' learning motivation and differences in learning outcomes before and after the implementation of the Discovery Learning model, as well as comparing these outcomes with those achieved through conventional learning. Based on a review of previous studies, the implementation of the Discovery Learning model has shown positive effects on improving learning outcomes, conceptual understanding, and student engagement in physics education. Student involvement in observation, experimentation, discussion, and problem-solving activities is also expected to enhance their learning motivation
