Sarah, you're right too... 1. Each of versions mentioned will go.
2. Strictly legal way is to find a document (or site) created in that University and take their own official name. I suppose, such name would not coincide with your propositin, Ivan.

Ivan Petryshyn (asker) Apr 29, 2009:

no quite so (degree updating) The matter is that even teh official web of the Institute(now - a University) gives a different name: Teacher Training University. The other acceptable variant could be 'Teacher Education University', - and there's nothing to be done with that: the tradition of the country whose official language is English prevails!

It depends They in USA need to be trained on "Pedagogical" as this term is a part of official name of the Institute. And is capitalized.
If the purpose is to explain - then "teachers education" would be more comfortable. So, you may translate it as "Pedagogical" and give the explanation in brackets or as footnote.

"Named After" To my knowledge, "...named after" is never used by natives, it's rather some kind of Soviet-era soundbite

pedagogical and educational please, read the text above

Ivan Petryshyn (asker) Feb 15, 2009:

discussion on my post and your answer dear Sir:
what about the connotation of the word 'pedagogical" which ia hardly used and understood in the USA? You, do know the meaning of the 'pedagogue', don't you?
By the way, they do not understand neither 'pedagogical', nor ' philology' - quite different words are being used, Sir- teachers education and linguistics- the usus is more important than a dictionary: rule no. 1 in the translation and in interpreting.
