Validation of the Spanish version of the Student–Teacher Relationship Scale Short Form (STRS-SF) to assess teacher-student relationship quality
Abstract
Antecedentes: La calidad de la relación entre profesores y estudiantes es un factor clave para el rendimiento académico, el bienestar psicológico y el desarrollo social del alumnado. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo adaptar y validar la versión española de la Student-Teacher Relationship Scale Short Form (STRS-SF). Métodos: Participaron 60 docentes de distintas regiones de España, quienes completaron 240 evaluaciones de estudiantes. Se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios y se examinaron relaciones con variables externas. Resultados: El análisis confirmó una estructura bifactorial consistente con la versión original, basada en las dimensiones de cercanía y conflicto. Un ítem mostró un funcionamiento psicométrico deficiente y se propuso un modelo revisado de 14 ítems. La escala presentó alta consistencia interna y asociaciones significativas con percepciones docentes sobre conducta y dificultad relacional. Conclusiones: La versión española de la STRS-SF constituye una herramienta válida y eficiente para evaluar relaciones profesor-alumno en contextos educativos hispanohablantes. Background: The quality of teacher-student relationships is a key factor in students' academic performance, psychological well-being, and social development. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale Short Form (STRS-SF). Methods: Sixty teachers from different regions of Spain completed 240 evaluations of students. Confirmatory factor analyses and associations with external variables were examined. Results: The analyses supported a two-factor structure consistent with the original version, based on Closeness and Conflict dimensions. One item showed weak psychometric performance, leading to a revised 14-item model. The adapted scale demonstrated high internal consistency and significant associations with teacher perceptions of student behavior and relational difficulty. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the STRS-SF appears to be a valid and efficient instrument for assessing teacher-student relationship quality in Spanish-speaking educational settings.
