This paper describes previous studies regarding the use of multimedia or virtual model and concrete model to improve students’ understanding of chemistry. Thirty-three relevant papers in various topics, including stereochemistry, symmetry, chemical bonding, law conservation of matter, and others, were found and discussed. In particular, relevant studies in stereochemistry teaching is also discussed. REFERENCES Anggriawan, B. (2017).
