Abstract

This article reports the study of statistical analysis using Meta-Analytic Structural Educational Model (MASEM) proposed by Cheung (2009, 2010). The case study based on component synthesis of educational leadership from 4 dissertations with 17 observed variables and 4 latent variables. Total sample size was 2,370. The process had 3 stages. Stage one was data preparation by entering correlation matrices from each research into program variables. Stage two was homogeneity test and calculating the pooled correlation matrix. And stage three was structural educational model analysis based on the pooled correlation matrix. The calculation from R program reported good-of-fitness indices in appropriate level. This case study had gone through analysis process and found that Meta-Analytic Structural Educational Model is a good meta-analysis technique for researches.
