Abstract

In this article, special attention is paid to project-based learning (PBL), a complex of successful learning methods that ensure the diversity and effectiveness of the learning environment. It focuses on forming and developing learners' inquiry activity, critical and creative thinking, and ability to navigate a changing society. Examining the essential components of project-based learning, we can see a visible connection to the content of chess education. The paper aims to identify the features of PBL in chess education and its application possibilities. The research employed the following methods: document analysis, questionnaire survey, in-depth interview, and focus group method.

The article answers the following questions: What perceptions and ideas do the teachers of the "Chess" subject have regarding project-based learning? What conditions ensure the formation of the culture of project-research activity in educational chess? What are the difficulties of PBL in educational chess? What potential does the Chess subject have for the feasibility of project-based learning?

At this moment, with its potential, the chess subject in PBL can provide a smoother transition from primary school to secondary school and promote motivation in the educational process because project-based works motivate teachers and learners by their nature and content.
