A qualitative approach was used, with observations and interviews conducted to collect data from 43 teacher participants. The results indicated a significant improvement in teachers' abilities, particularly in formulating research problems, developing scientific frameworks, and publishing their works through digital platforms. This training model also successfully enhanced participants' confidence in writing and motivated them to continue creating. Additionally, the teachers were able to produce research-based teaching modules that could be applied in classroom instruction.
