Abstract
Aiming of this research was to improve student learning outcome in mathematics Grade VIII SMP Negeri 11 Kota Bengkulu by applying Generative learning model in the class management. The design of this research was classroom action research with the steps were: planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The subject of this research was 32 students of Grade VIII B SMP Negeri 11 Kota Bengkulu on even semester academic year 2018/2019. Data collection was done by using step 4 application in student worksheet and cycle test sheet. The generative model steps in this research were step 1 preparation, step 2 focusing, step 3 challenge and step 4 application. Class management with applying generative learning model improved student learning outcome by: (1) step 1 preparation trained student to remember the topic; (2) step 2 focusing trained student to construct the concept by them self; (3) step 3 challenge trained student to solve the real problem using concept that they got; and (4) step 4 application trained student with the exercises. The average of student learning outcome improved from first cycle to third cycle were: 66,48; 74,70; 83,75 with classical learning outcomes were: 43,75%; 62,50%; 87,50%.
