Student-Teacher Relationship in the Secondary Schools: A Factorial Study

This article contributes to the widening of the international literature concerning the teacher-student relationship under different perspectives: cross-cultural, statistical, and applicative. This work strengthens the psychometric basis of the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale by confirming the three-dimensional structure of the original instrument. Therefore, on the basis of the factor analysis, the instrument proves to apply also to the Vietnamese context. The Student-Teacher Relationship Scale, given its validity, can be a serviceable tool for studying such a construct, both as a monitoring scale of a given relationship and as a way to help teachers achieve a better level of awareness of their educational skills.
