Pedagogics - the science of teaching.
Although the word, as English, is frequently used to describe teaching training in many European countries, it is almost unknown in the UK because of the association with the derogatory term pedagogue.
And where I teach, some "educators" have re-introduced the term androgogy to refer to teaching adults. Unfortunately these educators aren't familiar with Greek, and are proposing a word, originating in Germany in the late 19th century, that actually means "teaching adult males."
