This paper reports the results of a longitudinal study of the relationship between affect and achievement in high school science. The conceptual model for science-related affect proposes that students' enjoyment in, and enthusiasm for science are determined by their perceptions of their past performance in science, their expected future performance in science, and the perceived usefulness to them of science at school. Data were collected from 342 grade 8 students in their first year of high school at two urban middle class schools in Australia. Students studied three topics in each of the three terms of the academic year. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the direction of the relationship between science-related affect and achievement and to apportion variance common between previous and subsequent achievement and the components of science-related affect. It was found that affect is related more strongly to previous than to subsequent achievement, and that students' perceptions of their past performance in science form the most important component variable of science-related affect associated with both previous and subsequent achievement.
