Thermal Characteristics and kinetic parameters of $LaMnO_3$ synthesis reaction were investigated by means of TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) at non-isothermal heating conditions (5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 K/min). The reaction was occurred rapidly at 450~600K (X=0.4~0.7) depending on the heating rate. Activation energy for the synthesis of $LaMnO_3$ from the precursor, which was determined by different method such as Friedman, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Vyazovkin methods, was in the range of 23~243 kJ/g-mol depending on the fractional conversion level and estimation method. The reaction order decreased with increasing heating rate and fractional conversional level. The average reaction order was 4.50 in case of X=0.1~0.3, while it was 1.87 in case of X=0.7~0.9, respectively. The value of frequency factor of reaction rate increased with inceasing heating rate and fractional conversion level. The aveage value of frequency factor was 205.6 ($min^{-1}$) when X=0.1~0.3, while it was 475.2 ($min^{-1}$) when X=0.7~0.9, respectively.
