educationist
Scholar of pedagogy
An educationist is a specialist in educational theory and methods—someone who studies how people learn and how teaching should be conducted.
The term is more common in British English and in academic contexts; American English tends to favor *educator*, though that word emphasizes teaching practice over theory.
The educationist argued for smaller class sizes based on cognitive research.
