Sample of 828 students and 116 teachers were drawn through simple random stratified and purposive sampling techniques. Four research questions and three hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance guided the study. Three instruments were used for data collection. One of the instruments was an eighteen-item questionnaire named Self Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ) adapted from Sherer, Maddux, Mercandante, Prentice-Dunn, Jacobs and Rogers (1982). The second instrument was a 21-item researcher developed named students' achievement motivation scale (SAMS).
