The commitment level of the first three grades teachers in the Directorate of Education of the Northwestern Badia District to the principles of the brain-based learning theory according to the variables of gender, years of experience, and educational qualification of teachers. Using simple random technique, the sample of the study consisted of (100) male and female teachers from the Directorate of Education of the Northwestern Badia District in Jordan. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers built a scale for principles of learning based on the brain and after verification of its psychometric properties. The results of the study showed that the commitment level of the first three grades teachers to the principles of the brain-based learning theory was high except for two dimensions: useful learning, and modeling and planning. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the commitment level according to sex variables except for two dimensions: consciousness and unconscious, and growth and development. There were no statistically significant differences in the commitment level according to years of experience except for three dimensions: useful learning, emotions, and formation of meaning. Finally, there were no statistically significant differences in the commitment level according educational qualification except for three dimensions: parallel processing, useful learning, and growth and development.
