SUMMARY:

The main hypothesis of the project is related to possible behavioral benefits, aided by the practice of chess, and possible advantages in the learning process of teaching Geography, where there is knowledge related to Cartography and territorial aspects, which can be understood more easily by students playing the game. The research was built quantitatively, in two stages. Initially, bibliographic surveys were carried out on three aspects: the first was related to pedagogical resources that were not used or considered as options in the basic education of Geography. The second was related to the process of popularization of chess in the 20th century and the importance of its inclusion in the school space. The third was related to the use of chess as an element that can help in the development of general and specific skills in the teaching of Geography and on the process of didactic transposition. This survey was carried out for a general understanding of chess and the possible correlations with geographic elements. In the second stage, in the applied part, the Grouped Randomized Controlled Study was used as a research method. It was created in three public schools in the region of Santa Luzia/MG, a project that consisted of students having chess classes between February and July 2022. With two weekly classes (with a workload between 25 and 30 hours) and a championship Interschool held at the end of the program, the students were introduced to chess practice and motivated to carry out this process. In the end, 65 students from the three schools participated in the program (composing the experimental group) and 65 students who did not participate in the program and who do not know how to play chess were chosen to participate in the test (comprising the control group), chosen in the classes that had participants from the program. In a regular classroom, which had two students who were part of the experimental group, two other students who were willing to participate in the control group were randomly chosen, and thus, this logic was followed. The analysis was performed using self-assessment questionnaires and specific geographic exercises for students who participated in the program and know how to play chess and for students who do not know how to play chess (the total number of participating students was 130). In the end, analyzes of the groups were carried out separately, observing the previously defined topics
