2. Is there a relationship between school effectiveness and school climate and if
there is a relationship, what is the level of effect size?
3. Does the relationship between school effectiveness and leadership display
differences according to publication type, publication place and school type
variables?
4. Does the relationship between school effectiveness and school climate display
differences according to publication type and publication place variables?

METHOD
In this study carried out with the purpose of determining the relationship between
effective schools and leadership and school climate according to the perceptions of
teachers and administrators, the meta-analysis method was used. Meta-analysis is a
quantitative method which is used to integrate the results of the preciously
conducted studies (Sánchez-Meca and Marín-Martínez, 2010:152).

In order to achieve the aim of the study, the national and international dissertations
based on the relationship between school effectiveness and leadership and school
climate written in 1990-2016 and the studies involving the suitable statistical data were
included within the scope of the study. In the review process, the words “school
effectiveness, effective schools, leadership, school climate” were used as the key words.

In the review of the data, the Board of Higher Education National Dissertation
center, Google Scholar, the journals of the faculties of education, educational
sciences and social sciences of universities, Eric, Taylor&Francis Online, Emerald,
PreQuest, Sage Journals, publication houses and data bases were used.

In the analysis of the data, the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.00 (CMA) software
2
was used. The Q ve I statistical analyses were done to firstly determine a model for
the analysis. The determined model based on the result of this analysis and effect
size calculations and moderator analysis were done. Lastly, for the evaluation of the
partiality of the publication, Rosenthal’s Fail Safe N and Orin’s Fail Safe N analyses
were done based on underemployment. For the partiality of the publication based on
symmetry, Duval and Tweedie’s trim and fill method, Begg and Mazumdar’s rank
correlation and Egger’s intercept analysis were done.

Coding Method and Identification of the Characteristics of the Study
In the meta-analysis method, the screening process requires coding. In order to be
able to determine whether the data screened or this purpose will be included in the
analysis, a coding form was created. Information such as the name of the study, the
writer, publication year, sample number, correlation values, school type in which the
