What is another name for pedagogy?

• A. Teaching
• B. Coaching
• C. Teaching/Coaching
• D. Instruction

Answer: (C)

Pedagogy is the approach educators use to teach and guide learners—the mix of methods, strategies, and interactions that shape how understanding and skills are developed. The option that combines teaching and coaching best captures this because pedagogy isn’t just about delivering content (instruction) or just guiding performance (coaching) in isolation. It integrates how material is presented with how learners are mentored, given feedback, and helped to apply and improve what they’ve learned. Teaching provides the structured delivery of knowledge, while coaching adds the ongoing support, motivation, and practical practice that help learners develop. Put together, Teaching/Coaching reflects the broad, practice-oriented nature of pedagogy.
