Strategies and Outcomes
 Subtitle: Chess as a Tool for Cognitive and Social Skill Development in
Education
 Presented by: [Your Name]

Slide 2: Introduction
 Background: Education today faces a demand for innovative approaches
to better support individual student development.
 Objective: Review how chess and game-based learning models, like
Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU), contribute to intellectual and
social skills in students.
 References: Jankovic, Turner, Slade, Bunker & Thorpe, Trinchero

Slide 3: The Benefits of Chess in Education


 Cognitive Gains: Enhances concentration, memory, logical thinking, and
decision-making (Jankovic).
 Critical Thinking: Supports students in evaluating strengths and
weaknesses, fostering judgment skills.
 Creativity and Problem Solving: Chess encourages diverse solutions
and critical analysis.
 Reference: Jankovic

Slide 4: Broader Educational Impacts


 Mathematics & Literacy: Trinchero’s study demonstrates improvement
in mathematical problem-solving due to chess-related heuristic instruction.
 Behavior and Attitude: Chess has been correlated with better classroom
behavior and engagement in learning.
 Reference: Trinchero, Jankovic

Slide 5: The TGfU Model and Chess


 TGfU Model Overview: An inclusive and strategy-focused approach to
learning games, emphasizing understanding tactics and decision-making
(Kirk, Slade).
 Benefits of TGfU in Chess: Supports deeper comprehension of game
strategy beyond basic skill, facilitating cognitive and language
development.
 Reference: Kirk, Slade

Slide 6: Practical Benefits of TGfU and Chess in Schools


 Student Empowerment: TGfU fosters a sense of agency and improves
engagement through game understanding and goal setting (Slade).
 Effective Decision-Making: Promotes cognitive skill application through
game situations (Turner).
 Reference: Slade, Turner

Slide 7: Critical Perspectives on Chess Education


 Evidence Limitations: Jerrim highlights the need for robust research;
some studies show limited impact of chess on academic performance.
 The Ideal Experiment: Call for further randomized controlled trials to
validate outcomes (Jerrim).
 Reference: Jerrim

Slide 8: Integration of Chess into Curriculum


 Implementation Challenges: Balancing chess education with traditional
subjects and addressing the needs of diverse learners.
 Teacher Autonomy: Chess programs allow educators flexibility for
creative lesson designs (Root, Jankovic).
 Reference: Root, Jankovic

Slide 9: Chess and Other Sports


 Chess and Football: Velea’s findings on shared skills, such as strategic
evaluation and concentration, suggest transferable benefits across sports.
 Engagement Strategy: Connecting chess to sports like football could
increase student interest in chess.
 Reference: Velea

Slide 10: Conclusion and Future Directions


 Summary of Benefits: Chess enhances cognitive, strategic, and social
skills in educational settings.
 Future Research Needs: More robust, controlled studies to assess long-
term educational outcomes.
 Practical Implication: Consideration of chess as part of interdisciplinary
learning.
