description One of the philosophies of education has been developed in pragmatism. Peirce was the founder of the pragmatism. He did not directly address the philosophy of education; however, the theory of inquiry is one of the fundamental principles of his philosophy which discusses the cognition and fixation of belief based upon it.The believes that cause human’s behaviors and actions. He argues four methods of the fixation of belief. In his view, three (out of the four) methods are not acceptable and only one method is appropriate for the fixation of belief.This paper aims to understand if there is a link between Peirce’s ideas and the theories of education? If yes, whether this link is consistent with what Peirce found? The aim of the theory of education is training people to fixate believes leading to right actions.The research method applied in this study is on one hand, a descriptive-analytical-comparative, and on the other hand, a desk study.This paper compared Peirce’s methods with common theories of education and found that we can benefit from other theories, in addition to Peirce’s methods.
