    USING CHESS AS A TOOL FOR PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology _______________ by Haroutun Bursalyan Summer 2016 iii Copyright © 2016 by Haroutun Bursalyan All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION To my wife, Micki. v We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search of resources. The game is so full of events, there is such a variety of turns in it, the fortune of it is so subject to sudden vicissitudes, and one so frequently, after long contemplation, discovers the means of extricating one's self from a supposed insurmountable difficulty.... - Benjamin Franklin The Morals of Chess (1799) vi ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Using Chess as a Tool for Progressive Education by Haroutun Bursalyan Master of Arts in Sociology San Diego State University, 2016 This thesis will look at the flaws in the current public education model, and use John Dewey’s progressive education reform theories and the theory of gamification as the framework to explain how and why chess can be a preferable alternative to teach these subjects. Using chess as a tool to teach the overt curriculum can help improve certain cognitive skills, as well as having the potential to propel philosophical ideas and stimulate alternative ways of thought. The goal is to help, however minimally, transform children’s experiences within the schooling institution from one of boredom and detachment to one of curiosity and excitement.
