C. MAPHALALA December 2018 Declaration I, NtandokaMenzi Penelope Dlamini declare that the study, THE PERSPECTIVES OF STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF INCORPORATING CHESS INTO THE CURRICULUM PRACTICE IN KING CETSHWAYO DISTRICT PRIMARY SCHOOL is my own work and all cited and quoted sources have been acknowledged. This study is being submitted for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Curriculum Studies, Faculty of Education at the University of Zululand. 22 December 2018 ___________________ _________________ Signature Date i Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to the following who made this study possible: My supervisor for his guidance throughout the study My family for their support The participants for sharing their experiences Tsogo Sun Moves for Life for its contribution The King Cetshwayo District Chess Association for their assistance. iii Abstract The continuous protest from various quarters of society about the weakening education standard are a concern. Chess has been found to be a solution to remedy this problem in many countries through studies testing its effectiveness on the learners. However, very little is said about the teachers who are key in the success of this integration. This study aimed at getting the perspectives of the stakeholders regarding the incorporation of chess into the curriculum in the four subjects in the Foundation Phase, namely, isiZulu, English, Mathematics and Life skills. This qualitative design research looks at the perspectives of the stakeholders about the impact of incorporating chess into the curriculum practice through the Tsogo Sun Moves for Life programme piloted in the King Cetshwayo district. Through interviews, observations and document analysis, this study acquired the insights of 14 teachers who work as Tsogo Sun Moves for Life facilitators in schools under the programme, the district official who is tasked with ensuring that the curriculum is well delivered in schools, and the Tsogo Sun Moves for Life co-ordinator who assist the facilitators in incorporating chess into the curriculum. The study reveals that teachers find chess to be helpful as it helps the learners learn better while having fun, their attention span is increased, and they tend to concentrate better when chess is integrated. However, the teachers face many challenges as they struggle to merge chess into the curriculum, from those who view it as an add- on detached from the curriculum, and therefore see it as additional workload for them. The language used in the chess instruction appeared to be a challenge as the chess resources are not written in the learners’ home language. Key words: chess, curriculum reform, Foundation Phase, critical thinking, numeracy, literacy, Tsogo Sun Moves for Life, MiniChess iv Table of Contents Declaration

Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned.

  • Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) Is the National Government Department Responsible for Sport in South Africa
    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national government department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans. The SRSA is established in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994. Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The SRSA aims to maximise access, development and excellence at all levels of participation in sport and recreation to improve the quality of life for all South Africans.

The newly combined entity, now named the United States of America Chess Federation (and currently known as US Chess), primarily promoted tournament play throughout the country. More importantly, the U.S. Chess Championship, the U.S. Open, and the U.S. Olympiad team now fell under a single organizational roof and served about 1,000 members. There have been many important milestones since 1939 as US Chess grew and evolved. Bobby Fischer’s quest for the World Championship in the 1960s and 1970s, the growth of scholastic chess, the broadening of the US Chess mission beyond the organization’s singular focus of rated play, and most recently, Fabiano Caruana’s challenge to Magnus Carlsen for the World Championship. Along the way, US Chess has learned much about itself and what a powerful tool chess is. As we Second, we accept chess as a tool for the social and now look towards the century mark and approach emotional development of young people. Chess is 100,000 members, we embrace our heritage while a game where sportsmanship is core to the game’s looking for new ways to excel. As a 501(c)(3) culture.

  • Reflections on Simuls in South Africa by Dr Lyndon Bouah Over the Course of the Last Century Many Masters and Grandmasters Have
    Reflections on simuls in South Africa by Dr Lyndon Bouah Over the course of the last century many masters and grandmasters have visited South Africa. Invariably these players participate in a simultaneous display in which they take on many opponents at the same time. David Hooper and Kenneth Whyld define a simultaneous display in the following manner in their book “The Oxford Companion to Chess (1984), Oxford University Press. They state; Simultaneous display is a number of games played simultaneously by one player who walks from board to board making moves. There are no official rules but he should not breach the laws of the game such as touch and move. When he arrives at the board his opponent is expected to move at once, neither sooner or later. Fahrni was the first player in 1911 to meet as many as 100 opponents in Munich scoring 55 wins, 39 draws and 6 losses. In 1922 Capablanca played 103 opponents and scored 102 wins and one draw and no losses. The record has improved and now currently stands at 604. This was achieved by GM Ehsan Ghaem Maghami, a nine time Iranian champion. He set the record on 8-9 February 2011at a sport stadium in Tehran. He beat 580 opponents, achieved 16 draws and lost 8 times. The minimum needed was 80 percent. Lew Leppan in his book of the South African Book of records (1999), Don Nelson publishers states that on a visit to South Africa, H Meuhring of Holland played 56 simultaneous chess games in Johannesburg on 23 July 1955.

  • A LETTER to BERT (A Medley About Chess Libraries, Dealers and Collectors)
    A LETTER TO BERT (A medley about chess libraries, dealers and collectors) Bob Meadley 2001 1 THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT-ANYONE IS WELCOME TO USE THE CONTENTS FOREWORD This letter to Bert Corneth was expanded to include the dealers and collectors I have met over the years and a chapter on how I acquired the Christmas Series and finally three pages on how chess gradually ensnared me throughout my life. I apologise for the disjointed approach taken and don’t wish to rewrite it. As I am unable to use OCR scanning because of the poor quality of the manual typewriter the fact that I have to retype this ensures I won’t rewrite it. Most of the facts are there and all those interested in chess libraries & c can add more and correct mistakes. I’m told a floppy disc holds 250 A4 size pages of text so I have hardly half filled this disc. One of my real future delights would be to receive a disc in return with additions and corrections to my material. As for the disc it seemed to me that sharing information as cheaply as possible was simply done by sending a disc in the mail. Those of you who wish a hard copy should be able to get the disc printed out at a secretarial service. The last 3 months have been quite enjoyable (including the 1996 period) and the hardest part was the chapter on the Christmas Series as it had to be dug out of files. What makes a collector? Well, in my case, in rural NSW, I needed a library to keep me sane.
