Generative learning theory is one of theories that it has paid attention to this problem and is looking to develop those skills and capabilities of the learners that they will be used as a basis for the future to acquire the next skills and competencies. In other words, they will gain the generation and creation of knowledge. This research did for purpose of modeling the generative learning to practice it in the classroom to enhance the student’s analytic learning. It conducted by mixed method research of exploratory sequential design to modeling the generative learning theory. Formative research was used in qualitative research and experimental design in quantitative research. Qualitative research questions were: What are the components of this model? What is the instructional design procedure in the model? Quantitative research hypotheses were: generative learning model enhance students' analytic learning in biology (the major hypothesis), and sub-hypotheses were: a) students can identify different elements of a material by generative learning model. B) The generative learning model makes students able to show the relationships between different elements of a material. And finally c) Students can use the generative learning model to compare the different samples and example with each other. Findings from this research identified the components of generative learning model, and also clearly stated the instructional design procedure based on it. The research hypotheses were confirmed, suggesting that generative learning model improves student’s analytic learning in biology.
