This study aims to develop a board game on mushrooms production with cooperative learning and to examine its effects on the learning achievement of third-year vocational certificate students in the mushroom production course. The research instruments included a board game designed using the Educational Boardgame Design Canvas framework, comprising 60 cards (7 main cards, 24 secondary cards, and 29 additional cards). The board game was implemented alongside the Learning Together (LT) cooperative learning approach, following the ASSURE Model for instructional media design. Pre- and post-tests, along with a satisfaction questionnaire, were used to assess student performance and engagement.

The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement at the .05 level in students' learning achievement before and after using the board game. At Ratchaburi College of Agriculture and Technology, the post-test mean score was 16.00, compared to a pre-test mean score of 12.50. Student satisfaction with the learning approach was at the highest level, with an average satisfaction score of 4.69.

To further refine and expand the study, the board game was also implemented at the Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology, where similar improvements were observed. The post-test mean score increased to 11.21, compared to a pre-test mean score of 7.48, confirming the research hypothesis. Student satisfaction at Uthai Thani College of Agriculture and Technology was also high, with an average satisfaction score of 4.39. These results suggest that integrating board games with cooperative learning effectively enhances student achievement and engagement in agricultural education.
