# Theory Lookup

175 education theory definitions with application guidance.

## Use This Skill When

- Looking up a specific education theory definition.
- Comparing theories for instructional design.
- Selecting the best theory for a teaching context.

## Key Theory Categories

| Category | Count | Examples |
|----------|-------|---------|
| Learning Theories | 30+ | Constructivism, Behaviorism, Connectivism |
| Motivation | 20+ | Self-Determination, Flow, Growth Mindset |
| Assessment | 15+ | Formative Assessment, Constructive Alignment |
| Development | 15+ | Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Kohlberg |
| Instruction | 25+ | Direct Instruction, Scaffolding, UDL |
| Social Learning | 10+ | Bandura, Communities of Practice |

## Frequently Used Theories

| Theory | Theorist | Primary Use |
|--------|----------|------------|
| Bloom's Taxonomy | Bloom/Anderson | Assessment item design, cognitive levels |
| Constructive Alignment | Biggs | Objective ↔ activity ↔ assessment alignment |
| Growth Mindset | Dweck | Feedback language, motivation |
| Zone of Proximal Development | Vygotsky | Scaffolding, differentiation |
| UDL | CAST | Inclusive material design |
| PBIS | Sugai & Horner | Multi-tier behavioral support |
| Formative Assessment | Black & Wiliam | Learning-oriented evaluation |
| Self-Determination Theory | Deci & Ryan | Autonomy, competence, relatedness |

Read detailed theory definitions in `references/theory-index.md` when applying a specific theory.

## Quality Gates

- [ ] Theory definition is accurate (name, theorist, year, key concept).
- [ ] Application guidance is context-specific (not generic).
- [ ] Comparison includes strengths and limitations of each theory.

If any gate fails: identify the issue, fix, and re-validate.

## Gotchas

- 理論名だけでなく「どう適用するか」まで説明すること。名前の羅列は価値がない
- 175理論すべてを参照する必要はない。タスクに最も直接関係する1-3理論に絞ること
- Constructivism（構成主義）とConstructionism（構築主義）は異なる理論。混同しないこと

## Validation Loop

1. 理論情報を提供
2. チェック: 定義正確性、適用ガイダンス、推奨数3以内
3. 不合格なら修正
