The purpose of this study is the construction and validation of an Italian Short Form version of the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS; Fraire et al., 2013). The analyses were conducted on 1256 students and 210 teachers. The STRS is a self-report measure assessing teachers' perception of the quality of their relationship with students ranging from preschool to third grade. The items were selected from the original Italian adaptation of the regular STRS (Pianta, 2001) through Rasch (1960/1980) analysis, which allowed us to identify a subset of items with proven psychometric properties. The STRS-SF consists of two subscales: Conflict (eight items) and Closeness (six items). Results indicate that the 14-item instrument shows good internal consistency (α>0.80), high correlations with the scales from the regular STRS (r > 0.90) and equivalence across gender.

Students actively participate in learning when they feel supported, respected, and connected to their school environment. An unhealthy school climate might significantly influence health-related and educational outcomes during adolescence.

There is no doubt that advanced artificial intelligence models and high quality data are the keys to success in developing computational pathology tools. Although the overall volume of pathology data keeps increasing, a lack of quality data is a common issue when it comes to a specific task due to several reasons including privacy and ethical issues with patient data. In this work, we propose to exploit knowledge distillation, i.
