Which term means relating to teaching methods?

• A. Pedagogy
• B. Educational
• C. Pedagogical
• D. Didactic

Answer: (C)

Relating to teaching methods is described by the adjective pedagogical. It comes from pedagogy, the study and practice of teaching, and is used to talk about the ways instruction is delivered—pedagogical strategies, pedagogical approaches, etc. The other terms are close but not as precise: pedagogy is the field itself, educational is broader and about education in general, and didactic describes instruction in a teaching sense but often with a tone of being overly instructional rather than the method itself.
