The central goal of this research was to characterize the mental models of optical instruments expressed by students. The subject of this study were 35 students of class XI in SMA Negeri 1 Badegan. Mixed method embedded experimental model was conducted to probe the participant’s model mental. Data obtained through interviews and tests. The results reveal that the participants held five categories of mental models of optical instrument. The development of student’s model mental indicated by nearly half held a scientifically compatible model mental during and after studying Physics with Experiential Learning.
