The research was conducted to determine and measure the effectiveness of different teaching methods, namely gamification, gallery walk, collaborative writing, and inquiry-based learning as applied in improving the research writing skills of Senior High School learners in Fe Del Mundo National High School. Using an embedded design of mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative data were gathered by means of validated survey questionnaires and teacher interviews. This research was done on 249 Grade 11 students and 12 Grade 12 students selected in proportional stratified random sampling and 10 research teachers selected in total enumeration. The results showed that t all four strategies were common among research teachers although gamification and gallery walk were the most employed. Students were shown to have different degrees of research writing proficiency among five major competencies. The statistical analysis with the help of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that the degree of strategy implementation was significantly related to the research writing performance of students. According to the findings, a teaching manual was created on a case-based manner to instruct research educators to implement these strategies practically. The research highlights the significance of providing teachers with research-based methods to close the persistent gap in research writing ability of students and corresponds to the national education objectives of encouraging 21st century learning.
