pedagogical
Concerning instructional methods
Pedagogical means relating to teaching or education, especially the methods and practices of instruction: The school adopted new pedagogical approaches to improve student engagement.
The word appears most often in academic and professional contexts discussing how subjects should be taught rather than what should be taught.
