What does scholarly mean? What does peer-reviewed mean?

Answer

Scholarly/peer-reviewed articles are those that have been written by an authoritative source in a given field of study and have been submitted for review by other scholars before publishing, usually in a peer-reviewed journal.

In most databases, you can limit your search to only peer-reviewed materials by checking the peer-reviewed box once you get your search results.  If you don't see this option, look for an option to limit to academic journals, as peer-reviewed articles represent much of the content within academic journals.
