O xadrez na comunidade do setor sul de Araguaína

Abstract

In this work we intend to answer the following guiding question: how to insert chess in a community in the southern sector? Thus, a field research was carried out in the city of Araguaia in the state of Tocantins, with a group of children from the community of the South Sector neighborhood, in which the evolution of each child with the practice of chess was observed, with the help of theoretical materials and concrete for application of the game. This project was developed with the main objective of exploring this pedagogical resource, helping and stimulating learning with the benefits that chess allows. It is relevant to say that if it aims to research and bring to these children a new knowledge that has its relationship with the construction of a series of intellectual benefits, such as memorization, concentration and logical reasoning, where in itself it is something that can overcome many difficulties encountered in relation to teaching students' learning in mathematical content. In view of the situation that the world population is experiencing in relation to the Coved 19 virus, in which a portion of the students were left without face-to-face access to schools, I had the idea of bringing this project to these children in my community as a way to help them to have more knowledge in this period of so many losses in general. As a result of research, chess was a great pedagogical tool that made it possible to achieve the objectives proposed in the work, stimulating children's interest in the design and construction of knowledge and learning about chess
