The Thai education system is currently emphasizing the development of "competencies" in order to provide students with the necessary skills to adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern society. Therefore, teachers must modify their instructional approaches to incorporate active learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a training curriculum for teachers in Phayao schools that incorporates an active learning approach. Additionally, it aims to investigate the cognitive outcomes of teachers using educational innovations based on an active learning approach, to examine teaching process skills, and to assess the satisfaction of teachers who have implemented the previously developed training curriculum. The research sample consisted of teachers from Phayao schools in the 2023 academic year, selected through cluster random sampling from a random group (N = 176), which included a total of 35 teachers. The training curriculum, teachers' cognitive outcomes pre- and post-tests, a teaching observation form, and a satisfaction evaluation form collected the data. The data were statistically analyzed using the relative gain GS (%), average, and standard deviation. The results revealed that teachers who received the development through training curriculum had an average relative gain of 75, developed strong learning management abilities, and were predominantly satisfied with this method. The results show that the introduction of this training curriculum facilitates the application of “active learning” for teachers.
