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.

Introduction: Team-based learning (TBL), is a form of cooperative learning which aims to create an Activelearning environment. It enhances the skills of individual accountability and teamwork, group interaction andmotivation of those participating in group discussions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of team-basedlearning (TBL) on nursing students' critical thinking. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental in which the effect TBL on undergraduate nursing students'critical thinking skills. Nursing students who enrolled in 2013-2014 at Iran University of Medical Scienceswere randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Watson-Glaser critical thinkingquestionnaire was used in this study. In both groups before and after intervention, 40 cases and 40 controls, were studied. Multiple choice and short-answer questionnaire were used to assess students' learning. T-test, ANOVA, were used to analyse the data. Result: Average age of the participnants was 21. 7and 56% of the participants were female. TBLsignificant affect on critical thinking of the participnats (P>0. 05). TBL improved critical thinking, understanding, identifying assumptions, inferences, interpretation, and evaluation of logical reasoning hadbeen (P<0. 001). The difference between the two educational practices affecting critical thinking (P<0. 001)and related dimensions were all statistically significant. Conclusion: TBL learning compared to traditional teaching methods (lectures) has a significant effect onimproving students' critical thinking.
