Abstrakt:	The article presents a study that describes the relationship of 38 variates to achievement in high school biology and chemistry classes. In this study, forty-four teachers prepared audio tape recordings of discussions throughout a nine-month period. Results of the study presents various conclusions. First, student achievement in both courses is primarily a function of student attitudes, previous achievement, and discourse variables established during the first month of the school year. Second, while interventions had slight influence on subsequent discourse and student perceptions, they did not directly influence achievement as defined in this study.
