It is a "play" that is intended to provide educational instruction. Like a puppet's play that has been designed to teach children. It can also be a theatrical play that its goal is to provide education, instruction.
It uses theatrical tools with the purpose of teaching.
When I went to Pedagogic School, we had an area of study called "Teatro Pedagógico" which is a teaching tool. We even had to make puppets and put together some plays with puppets. We also performed some theatrical plays to teach History which tends to be a boring subject to a lot of kids.

FYI: el teatro pedagógico = EDUCATIONAL THEATER. The word 'pedagógico' however isn't about theater, and puppetry is in no manner a vital or needed part in educational theater.
But, now that I've explained what Pedagogy is, it should make more sense.
First you break down the parts. In English it would be pedagogy - The art or profession of teaching Such as biology etc... those ogy's are sciences... so it's the science/art of teaching pedagogía
A pedagogue is an educator... a teacher en español 'pedagogo'
Now, think about the suffix... biological chronological etc.... The word pedagogical ...is termed towards things... related to pedagogy (the art of teaching) 'of or relating to pedagogy; "pedagogical significance"' the form with 'cal' would be in 'pedagógico'
