Author Name Ayeshung, Rose Imoniri PhD Abstract The study focused on predicting class attendance and students’ academic achievement in Physics in Calabar Metropolis,Cross River State, Nigeria. The study area is Calabar Metropolis. Senior Secondary School Three (SSS 3) Physics students were used. A research question and a hypothesis were drawn for the study. The instrument used for the study was the factors Influencing Class Attendance Questionnaire (FICAQ) and Physics Achievement Test (PAT). The population of the study was 3553 Science students, 240 were used as the sample size. A 5point Likert scale was used for the responses. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution, descriptive statistics, and inter-variable Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Coefficient, and multiple linear regression analyses. The results indicate that individually, school, class, tutorial, and Physics attendance make significant contributions to Physics students’ academic achievement but practical class attendance does not. Collectively, the results showed that school, Physics practical, and tutorial class attendance have a significant influence on Physics students’ academic achievementat 45.4%. Based on the results it was recommended amongst others that teacher should monitor students’ attendance as well as their activities in the class.
