The target group for this research comprised 15 first-year Higher Vocational Certificate students majoring in Digital Business Technology at EGAT Mae Moh Technical College, selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included the developed curriculum, curriculum support materials, a practical skills assessment form for crafting Pha Chang, and an achievement test measuring knowledge of the Pha Chang procession tradition. Data analysis involved calculating means, percentages, standard deviations, and the Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC).
