The word pedagogy is increasingly used in English‐language texts. Its application, however, is not always clear since authors draw upon different inherited uses. Currently, it serves as a synonym of education; or it can reflect other definitions that have arisen from its integration, through time, into the world of public schooling. This paper, then, is an act of clarification. It does not seek a unitary definition. Rather, it attempts to give a sense of how and why such a word has been blurred in translation.
