It's actually spelled "Padawan".
Further explanation of what one exactly is follows:
A Padawan learner is a Jedi Knight in training who is being taught by a Jedi Master. When a certain amount of tasks are completed and the Jedi Council decides the Padawan is ready, the Padawan is charged with a final task of making a lightsaber and sent on a mission with his/her Master.
Upon completion of said mission, the Padawan becomes a Jedi Knight.
In The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan never actually completes the initial mission he is sent on with Qui-Gon, so the council will not raise him past Padawan status.
