Abstract

In the present era, information and communication technology (ICT) has affected various dimensions of human beings, as the effects of this science on basic science courses are also evident. Chemistry is one of the subjects whose concepts are difficult to understand from the point of view of teachers and students. Due to the laboratory and non-practical nature of this course, it has a high ability to present concepts with computer simulation and animation. Many concepts such as: the movement of gas molecules, the molecular structure of compounds, etc. can be presented by computer simulation. In order to improve the teaching-learning process in any scientific field, the best methods should be used according to each subject, so that the profession of teaching and learning is always up-to-date, attractive and more efficient in parallel with the scientific development in each field. The purpose of using ICT in the curriculum planning process is to increase the quality of teaching and learning. This article tries to explain the role of information and communication technology in the field of education, investigate the place and impact of this phenomenon on the curriculum and state its advantages and disadvantages, and by bringing examples of new technologies, their educational applications in education. Check chemistry. The study method is searching in information bases and reviewing articles and books related to chemistry education. Among the most important results obtained in this research, it can be mentioned that as information and communication technology is used in many processes, the use of these technologies is inevitable in the field of education.
