The objective of this study is to rearrange Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (Koomen, Verschueren , Schooten , Jak & Pianta, 2012) into Turkish. The study was applied for 300 secondary school students. In the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) the three dimensioned model, comprised of 25 items , showed convenience. The reason why the studies of internal consistency correlations (ITC) besides factor analysis and factor loadings (FLs) were carried out was related to observe the scale’s psychometric characteristics. That the result of the scale’s internal consistency analysis was 73 is a sign which shows the scale’s satisfactory realibility. In order to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the scale, internal consistency, item and factor anlaysis were conducted. Considering the results of item discrimination and CFA done, 3 factor structure of the model is appropriate for Turkish sample. (x²=1045.98, df=272, RMSEA=.098, NFI=.93, NNFI=.94,CFI=.94,IFI=.94,SRMR=.012). In this case, the scale is a valid and reliable tool for identifying the level of student teacher relationships for Turkish sample group.
