NO! Hence the name. Concepts are referred to as pseudo-scientific when they fail to either describe events, or fail to have the ability to predict events.. they also usually have a lack of evidence to back up their claims.

Some examples of pseudoscience include: 2012 phoenomena, creationism, intelligent design, out-of-place artifacts, etc.

A hypothesis that has been tested and proven false?

That is a failed hypothesis. Although this sounds like a bad thing, in science it is actually an example of good science. The philosopher Karl Popper declared that real science was defined by hypothesis that could be tested and proven false or true. For example you can make a hypothesis that the falling speed of a body is proportional to its mass. The hypothesis can be put to test and shown false. This was the difference in World view between Aristoteles and Gallilei: Aristoteles put forward the hypothesis and Galilei tested it. Pseudo-science like astrology, religion, philosophy, politics and so on does not put forward testable hypothesis. No pseudo-science dare to put forward a testable hypothesis.

The science of teaching is called?

pedagogy or education The art of teaching is called pedagogy. There is also a pseudo-science called educationism by its critics, which is practiced - if that is the right word for a pseudo-science - by educationists called administrators. The fond notion that what these people do is a science has caused most of the problems in American schools.
