The study was conducted on a sample that consisted of 215 male and female teachers from the first Directorate of Education of Irbid by using a questionnaire consisting of 60 items that represent the pragmatism, Islamic, existential, ideal and realistic philosophies. The study found that the level of having philosophical beliefs among secondary school teachers was intermediate; and that the Islamic philosophy was ranked first followed by pragmatism, idealism, realism, and existentialism respectively. The results of the study showed that there were no statistically significant differences due to the study variables (sex and major) on the studied instrument as a whole or on the interaction between them. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences due to the variables on the fields of study separately, and on the interaction between them, except the field of ideal philosophy on the variable of major in favor of literary stream.
