The evolution of scientific theories takes place over the time, and Educational Administration (EA) as a field of study is of no exception. Therefore, understanding the conceptual developments in this field requires looking at it as a historical realm. The purpose of this article is to study of EA conceptual map through criticizing historical book of "The history of educational administration viewed through its textbooks". In order to achieve this goal, using the method of critique, the book has been examined from both external and internal aspects. Findings indicate that the mentioned book, despite having many positive features, suffers several shortcomings in answering its questions and achieving the goals and failed to draw a comprehensive map of the EA history. The article concludes by extracting lessons from EA global legacy for domestic researchers.
