Abstract: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a research training curriculum designed to enhance teachers’ research-informed learning management competencies for developing students’ 21st-century skills. Using a research and development design, the study was conducted in two phases: Phase 1 develops the curriculum design, while Phase 2 implements the curriculum. The instruments included Interview Protocol for Curriculum Development, Curriculum Quality Evaluation Form, a 30-item knowledge test, a teacher learning management competency assessment form, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean scores, standard deviations, a paired-sample t-test, and a one group t-test. Qualitative data were analyzed using reflective journals and observations underwent thematic analysis. The findings revealed significant improvements in teachers’ research knowledge and competencies, with high satisfaction ratings toward the curriculum. The study contributes a practical model for integrating research skills into teacher professional development to enhance instructional practices.
