Purpose

To provide a comprehensive background in theory and practice in the uses of the game of chess to create an impact in the fields of education, welfare and therapeutics. Graduates will be recognised as certified school chess teaching specialists in Spain (FEDA) and Europe (ECU).

 

Topic description

Educational and social chess provides both teachers and social and therapeutic care professionals with the necessary resources for the development of cognitive processes such as thinking, mental schemes, imaginary practice or the control of emotions. The usefulness of chess as a didactic and social intervention tool has been proven in different studies whose conclusions specify its importance in the development of both cognitive and social skills, such as logical-mathematical reasoning, problem solving, memory, concentration-attention, decision-making, or empathy, among others.
