The present article aimed to analyze the attitude toward learning organic chemistry using the Biomodel virtual platform in fifth-year students at U.E. School Joseph Lancaster during the 2023-2024 school year, located in the San Diego municipality of Carabobo State. A quantitative methodology was used, under the positivist paradigm, with a non-experimental, field-based, and descriptive design. The population and sample consisted of 30 students. For data collection, the survey technique was used, and a valid and highly reliable questionnaire was used as an instrument. The results obtained from the application of the instrument were tabulated taking into account the percentages of the answers given to each question and were subjected to a percentage analysis, where it was determined that the majority of students show a favorable or positive attitude toward learning chemistry through the use of the Biomodel application since it is easy for them to learn organic chemistry using the platform and they perceive the need to use it to understand the contents, increasing the interest or motivation to explore and learn through the visual information available in Biomodel.
