Abstract

This article introduces the theoretical foundation of the linear structural model (Linear Structural Relations) and its applicability to educational research, specifically to the study of unmeasurable concepts. Some problems such as the problem of the estimation of parameters, the problem of multicollinearity, goodness of fit index, and non-positive-definite parameters, and their possible ways of solution were discussed. It is hoped that this article can contribute to extensive application of the Linear Structural Model in educational research.
