Abstract
The objectives of this research were to: 1) compare learning achievement of foreign words in the Thai language for grade 6 students through a gamification approach integrated with a board game with the criterion level of 75 percent, and 2) examine students’ satisfaction with learning achievement of foreign words in the Thai language for grade 6 students through a gamification approach integrated with a board game. The sample comprised 16 Grade 6 students from Wat Nanong School (Withanrat Anukul) during Semester 1 of the 2025 academic year. The research instruments included lesson plans, a board game designed to enhance skills in classifying foreign loanwords, a learning achievement test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The study employed a one-group posttest-only design (One-Group Posttest Design). Data analysis was performed using means, percentages, standard deviations, and t-tests. The results indicated that the students’ posttest achievement scores were significantly higher than the 75 percent criterion at the .05 level, with an average score of 80.83 percent. Additionally, students’ overall satisfaction with the learning activities was assessed as high.
