This descriptive content analysis study was carried out to review students and pre-service teachers’ mental model of chemistry concepts. This study puts on criteria with specific keyword about a mental model in chemistry concepts and a period of 2009 till 2019 which relevant databases yielded a total of 66 articles. This study covers 41 qualitative studies, 18 quantitative studies, and this remains mix method studies. Article’s aspects focused on such parameters as aim, method, sample, data collection tool, data analysis, chemistry concept, mental model theory, and recommendation of studies. Content analysis is used. The result is that most studies use qualitative methods with a variety of data collection tools and data analysis techniques. Moreover, these mental models studies were mostly involved students who learned inorganic chemistry. This research also aims to do good innovative changes in various aspects to improve their scientific mental model. Copyright©2020 by authors, all rights reserved.
