Preschool, Chess, ParentAbstract
The study used a qualitative research method to reveal the views of preschool children about their chess education. This study was conducted as a case study, one of the qualitative research designs. The study group consisted of 118 parents whose children were receiving preschool education. The study utilized the criterion sampling technique, a purposeful sampling method, to determine the study group. Open-ended survey questions were used to collect the data of the research. The interviews with the participants were planned to be face-to-face, but due to the pandemic, the data were collected by sending the forms created online by three researchers to each participant. Data obtained from the interviews with the participants was analyzed using the content analysis method. Results revealed that the parents whose children received chess education in preschool held that their academic skills increased with the education’s contribution to alternative thinking, attention/focus time, planning/strategy, mathematical thinking, and establishing cause–effect relationships.
