WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Teacher-Student Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

pedagogy

This measure is designed to assess a student’s perceptions of their relationship with a teacher in a school context. The Teacher-Student Questionnaire provides a brief, structured way to describe attitudes that may influence classroom engagement and the instructional relationship.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Item content is organized to reflect cognitive/understanding, emotional/affective, and behavioral components of the student’s attitude toward the teacher, supporting a multidimensional profile. Results from the Teacher-Student Questionnaire may be used in school-based psychological assessment or consultation to inform discussions about student-teacher dynamics and potential targets for intervention.
