Summary/Abstract: The article is based on arguments reflected by its title: gaining a pedagogical perspective of the notion of merit as a learning outcome. The concept of meritology is not featured in the pedagogical lexicon; however, its insertion into it could produce a new phenomenon - increased awareness of competence and performance as evidence of solid knowledge. We believe it essential to clarify its pedagogical values, particularly since the interest in it is generated by a new conception of education, namely that of meaningful evaluation. It could be stated that meritology analyzes the potentiality to succeed both academically and in life and its pedagogical relevance stems from the learning-evaluation-outcome relationship.
