The Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient value for the scale was found to be. 92, which is a satisfactory result. The reliability coefficients of the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats factors were. 94, .84, .80, and. 76, respectively. The sample of the study included 100 teachers who were teaching at the primary school, secondary school and high school teachers of a private school in Ankara, Çayyolu district. Independent samples t-Test findings revealed that female teachers have higher perceptions of the opportunities they have when using a student-centered instructional model than male teachers do.
