    Introduction
    • What is a theory?
    • The word theory comes from the Greek word
    theoria which refers to the act of viewing,
    contemplating, or thinking something.
    • A theory is a set of abstract concepts about a
    group of facts or events to explain them. Hence a
    theory of human development is an organized
    system of beliefs that helps us to understand
    human growth.
    Contnd:
    • These theories have various functions:
    • They provide a broad view of the complex influences on
    human development and therefore offer guidance for
    practical issues
    • They form the basis for hypothesis or educated guesses
    about behavior and development that can be tested by
    research studies
    • They provide accurate summary of knowledge about
    development
    • They help us to ask important and relevant questions
    • They help us understand development and appreciate it
    End…..
