pedagogies
Approaches to instruction
Pedagogies is the plural of pedagogy—methods and practices of teaching.
The word appears most often in academic contexts, where different pedagogies represent distinct approaches to instruction: feminist pedagogies, critical pedagogies, online pedagogies.
The plural emphasizes that teaching isn't monolithic; various philosophies and techniques compete for attention in educational theory.
