Pedagogy is rarely used in English, it can be translated as \"teaching\" or \"education\".

This is borne out by the fact that the academic qualification is called a \"teaching degree\" in English, e.g.

\"Start your teaching degree at Colorado Mountain College\"

teaching methods


Explanation:
"Pedagogy" may also be used with the same meaning, but is less common -- it is more likely to be used in a more abstract sense, i.e. to mean the general science of teaching (i.e. not just teaching methods, but teaching methodology.

However, the root is more common in its adjectival form: "pedagogical". E.g. a book may be described as a pedagogical text, meaning that it is to be used for something like classroom instruction.
