Abstract
The purpose of this comparative study was to compare academic achievement and student
motivation under teacher-centered and student-centered instructional methods in science grade eight at
Triamudomsuksa Pattanakarn School, a government school located in Bangkok, Thailand. A total of
59 students took part in this study over a period of seven weeks. The research involved six objectives.
Objectives 1 and 2 were to determine student motivation under teacher-centered and student-centered
instructional methods. Objectives 3 and 4 were to determine student academic achievement under
teacher-centered and student-centered instructional methods. Objective 5 was to compare student
motivation between the two instructional methods. Finally, Objective 6 was to compare student
academic achievement under the two instructional methods. The findings of the study suggested that
the instructional methods did not differ significantly in terms of student achievement. Student
motivation was higher for the student-centered group than the teacher-centered group.
