description High-quality, equitable, and inclusive education is essential for both individual and societal advancement. Educators play a crucial role in enhancing educational standards through effective pedagogical practices. This study investigates the influence of learning theories on educators' pedagogical strategies. A survey was conducted with 1845 educators from various educational levels in Brunei Darussalam. While educators demonstrated an understanding of behaviorism and cognitive theories, the results revealed a pronounced preference for constructivism. This approach allows educators to relate prior learning experiences, foster collaborative engagement, and provide constructive feedback. Furthermore, the results indicated that demographic factors, including gender, age, subject area, and administrative duties, affected educators’ pedagogical beliefs. The results emphasize the need for tailored, inclusive, and subject-specific professional development for educators to improve educational standards and promote inclusivity.
