REZENDE JUNIOR, Luiz Nolasco de  and  SA, Antônio Villar Marques de. The game of chess and playful learning for adolescents in socioeducational environment. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp.221-229. ISSN 1519-3993.  https://doi.org/10.5965/151939932112016013.

This is a qualitative research aiming at formulating a playful intervention proposal using the game of chess as a learning tool in text production classes for the development of writing skills and new life plans. This study involved thirty-two adolescents in a juvenile detention facility. The data were obtained through field diary, analysis of the essays written by the participants, and roundtable conversations. During thirteen weekly meetings, the participants learned and played chess, produced texts, and participated in roundtable conversations using chess-game metaphors related to their everyday reality. These approaches provided considerable incentive to learning, promoted socialization, resulted in cognition and affection due to the use of playful activities and in a decrease in the participant's resistance to writing despite their lowlevel writing skills. It also led to the implementation of a collective intervention to affect and improve the life plans that resulted in the sentence to youth detention.
