Today, learning new teaching contents strives for more modern and active forms of learning, and the modern role of teachers today is a great challenge when it comes to teaching methods. Teaching that uses more active forms of learning is student-centered. Learning in the teaching of Science and Society is based on exploratory learning, learning by discovery. Discovery learning is a teaching strategy that greatly contributes to the development of students' abilities and skills, and every elementary education teacher should introduce it into their work. Teachers are aware of the importance of learning by discovery, but rarely opt for it because it involves certain organizational and time problems. There is no one-size-fits-all teaching strategy and method that can achieve all the goals of upbringing and education because every student is a different and individual person. This thesis talks about modern methods and strategies of learning, striving to move from traditional teaching to modern teaching. The aim of the thesis is to clearly present and analyze the system of methods within learning by discovery, as a model of learning based on constructivist theory. The method of qualitative text analysis was used for the purpose of data collection in accordance with scientific standards for scientific review work.
