The purposes of this research were 1. To develop Career Match Card Game to promote career knowledge for Matthayom 1 students of Wat Chantawan Ork School and 2. To compare the career knowledge of Matthayom 1 students at Wat Chantawan Ork School before and after using a card game. The population consists of 60 Matthayom 1 students at Wat Chantawan Ork School in the first semester of the 2024 academic year. The sample includes 29 Matthayom 1 students at Wat Chantawan Ork School, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments include the Career Match Card Game and a Career Knowledge Test. The statistical analysis methods include mean, standard deviation, and t-test (Dependent Samples).
The results of the study were as follows: 1. The developed Career Match card game was efficiently performed with an Index of Objective Congruence ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. The comparison of career knowledge scores before and after using the Career Match card game to promote career knowledge showed that after using the Career Match card game, the average score was 62.58%, higher than before using the Career Match card game which scored 52.73%, and significantly higher at the .05 level.
This research revealed that the Career Match card game is an innovation designed based on Holland's Career Choice Theory for occupational classification. The game incorporates essential career knowledge that students need to know through cards that combine visual and content presentations. With its matching gameplay format that promotes hands-on learning, it serves as an effective tool for enhancing career understanding and knowledge among Matthayom 1 students.
