The training has not been developed based on the expected long-term needs and objectives, namely teachers who are competent in conducting research. Training materials and materials have not been compiled based on adequate needs analysis. This research aims to know the principles of basic needs in the development of a training system to improve teachers' research competence. The methods used are research and development using the modified ADDIE development model in the first phase. The results of these studies are the principles in the development of training materials, which materialize to be an instructional goal, instructional objectives, success indicators, and participant's criteria. The general instructional goal set is "if a sample of the article is given, a group of competency enhancement trainees examines the teacher who will be able to complete 1 (one) research title in the form of a scientific article published in a national accredited scientific journal." The results of this need analysis are expected to be the basis of the development of a structured training system equipped with all other supporting training devices so that the goal to improve teachers' research competence can be achieved.
