instructiveness

Capacity to enlighten

The quality of being educational or informative—how much something teaches.

A documentary's instructiveness might be praised or questioned: The instructiveness of the program made it popular with teachers.

The word is formal and slightly awkward; most speakers would say "how instructive it is" instead.
