This paper explains the application of Canonical correlation analysis on unavoidable necessity for multivariant analysis in educational research. Canonical analysis is the largest correlation that can be found between linear combination and the goal is to maximize the correlation (not the variance extracted) as in most other techniques. It is a method for exploring the relation between two multivariant sets of variables (vectors), all measured on the same individual. The paper highlighted when to use the canonical correlation analysis, the important assumption for the analysis and the procedure for the analysis. The objectives for the canonical correlation analysis were extensively and intensively discussed. Finally, software's to be used for canonical correlation analysis was outlined and explained.
