Abstract :This study aims to develop parallel forms of the Teachers\\\' Compliance with Professional Ethics in Relations with Students Scale for secondary school teachers and students. The first study group comprised 266 secondary school teachers and 427 students, while the second group included 216 secondary school teachers and 851 students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single-dimensional structure consisting of 18 items for teacher and student scales, and the total variance explained by this structure was found 64.00% and 48.00% respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that both scales maintained their single-dimensional structure, fitting well and meeting the criteria for goodness-of-fit indices. The Cronbach\\\'s α internal consistency coefficient was .96 for both scales. These findings indicate that teachers\\\' compliance with professional ethics in relations with students scales for secondary school teachers and students are valid and reliable scales.
