ABSTRACT
The discovery learning model is one of the student-centered learning models that focus on active learning during the learning process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the differences in the influence of the discovery learning model on motivation, creative thinking ability, and student learning outcomes in Grade V Science Education in Elementary School. The research subjects were all Grade V students of SD Negeri 1 Lawela, Kec. Batuga, Kab. South Buton, a total of 58 students. This research used an experimental design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Data collection techniques in this study included observation, questionnaires, tests and documentation. The collected data were tested for normality and homogeneity as prerequisites for hypothesis testing. Hypothesis testing was conducted using the N-gain test and independent sample t-test using SPSS 25 software. The independent sample t-test for students' learning motivation showed a value of 0.000 < 0.05, the independent sample t-test for students' creative thinking ability showed a value of 0.000 < 0.05, and the independent t-test for students' learning outcomes showed a value of 0.000 < 0.05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that: (1) the discovery learning model has a significant influence on students' learning motivation; (2) the discovery learning model has a significant influence on students' creative thinking ability; (3) the discovery learning model has a significant influence on students' learning outcomes.
