Ben,
I would agree with BDAG that DIDASKALIA is "that which is taught," and yes,
the word is used numerous times in the pastorals (15x). I'm arguing that
DIDASKALIA in the pastorals has a broader semantic domain than "doctrine"
(at least the way I usually use the word--this may be from my Bible college
background where I took Doctrine I-IV, which were classes in theology). 1
Tim. 1:10 is an example where DIDASKALIA must include teaching of an ethical
nature:

DIDASKALIA seems to be the Pastorals' word for Doctrine. Except for
Ephesians 4:14, the normal word for Doctrine is DIDACH. BAGD ought to come
to the rescue here. Maybe DIDASKALIA is verbal teaching, as against a
written code or summary, a DIDACH (the name of the eponymous extracanonical
book).
The hUGIANWSKH DIDASKALIA is the correct or sound teaching, as opposed to
the different teaching or Other Doctrine of 1 Timothy 1:3-4 (MH
hETERODIDASKALEIN MHDE PROSECEIN MUQOIS, ktl).
