Abstract

The following study proposes a comparative analysis of the work carried out in Greece, Spain, and italy in relation to the process of adattability and validation of Student-Teacher relationship Scale (Pianta, 2001). The questionnaire, originated in US context, aims to evaluate the relationship teacher-pupil on the basis of the three, distinct dimensions of Closeness, Conflitt and Dependency. Each study has been viewed taking into account methodology, analysis and conclusions: althought differences have been registred in each section, our work has highlighted a strong uniformity within the structure itself of the instrument of study. All studies have shown similar consistency indexes, even though some changes hade to be made to the questionnaire in order to adapt it to each given reality; such changes are in great part related to the scale of Dependency. Nevertheless, the efficiency of the questionnaire itself has been proved: the STRS scale offers valid and trustworthy psychometric characteristics and appears to be adeguate for the in depth study of the relationship between a teacher and his/her pupils.
