A theory helps to predict or describe a particular phenomenon and a method specifies what to do when faced with that particular phenomenon. As independent concepts, a theory is a hypothesis, an idea or prediction about what can or might happen in certain situations given certain circumstances. A method is what the social worker actually does when working with a client. In simple terms, a theory is what you think about a specific situation and what you speculate might occur based on that situation, and a method is what you do given your thoughts or speculations about a situation. In this view it is very essential to understand the theory and method. The term 'method' is often used inter¬changeably with 'approach', 'intervention', or 'practice'. These terms all denote action, which is synonymous with method, in regard to something the social worker does or implements. | | Keywords : | | - rural development programs,
