For this purpose, primarily the philosophical foundations and basic assumptions of critical theory were reviewed. Based on these predictions and assumptions, the concepts of education and educational administration were analyzed from the perspective of critical theory. Furthermore, answers were sought to such questions as "What is the purpose of education?” “What is the purpose of the school and how should it be organized?” “What are the roles of the teacher and the students in education?” and “How should theory, practice and research be in education management?” At the end of the study, some suggestions were made for the administrators regarding the actions to be taken at schools from the perspective of critical theory}, number={2}, publisher={İlknur GÖKÇE}
