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.
