Teachers with high efficacy showed a great commitment to students’ achievement. Hancock, Bray and Nason (1995) stated that student-centered instruction has a potential for enhancing intrinsic motivation among students. Inquiry-based instruction aligns very much with student-centered instruction. The alignment of both methods of instruction helps shift students’ way of learning from being passive to being a more active and dynamic learning experience. An appropriate and supportive teaching style increases students’ interest, enjoyment, engagement and academic performance. Teachers who smile, have eye contact and relaxed body language, call students by name, use humor and encourage students’ input and discussion are positively related to students’ state of motivation (Christophel & Gorham, 1995).
