This study aims to explore the factors that influence students' interest in learning physics using a literature review research methodology. The literature analysis involved a review of various empirical and theoretical studies related to physics learning interests. Several significant factors emerged in the literature, including teaching methods, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, perception value of the subject and parental involvement. The literature review research methodology enables investigation of previous empirical findings, provides a thorough overview of the conceptual framework, and identifies knowledge gaps. The results show that an engaging and interactive learning approach positively influences interest in learning physics. Intrinsic motivations, such as curiosity and the desire to understand natural phenomena, also play a key role in increasing learners' interest in physics. In addition, the literature highlights the importance of introducing physics applications in daily life to increase the relevance of learning materials. The implications of these findings can provide valuable guidance for educators to develop engaging and motivating teaching strategies, as well as to build awareness of the relevance of physics in the context of learners' daily lives. © 2026 Author(s).
