One of the biggest confusions in this comes from how we think about language. Lots of people assume that words reflect reality. If you start from that point, you can get very wound up about what is a theory, what is a model, what is a method, and what is an approach. A more helpful way to think about language is that it is not about what words mean, but how we use them. Words do not have fixed, static meanings, but they have uses that can be helpful or confusing. This means that we can use the same word in different ways. So yes, we are most likely to use the word theory when we are describing, explaining or predicting. When we use the word model, we are often using it as a way to intervene, but we can also use model as a term for visualising something that is intangible. A gengram is a model of the family. Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory gives rise to a model of development based on a series of circles which helps us to describe the settings in which development occurs. It is important to develop the courage to think less about what words mean, and more about how words are used in specific contexts. Theories help us answer the question 'why is it the way it is'. Models help us answer the questions 'what is it' and 'what should I do'. Methods help us answer the question 'how can I do it'. Approaches help us answer the question 'why should I do it'. Finally, thanks for the video. I am sharing it with my students.

This video came just minutes before sending my supervisor a horrible proposal. At least it made me think twice. Thank you

Thank you so much

Thank you so much maam🙏🏻 Very well explained, I have licensure examination this coming feb.11,2021..

Thank you so much for your examples! Studyingg health promotion and public health and have had a full day of trying to understand the differences. Wonderfully described! Now I just want to have a curry!;)

You're an angel! I wish you would be my mentor. You have such an amazing talent to explain things in simplified way. Can you please upload videos on social group work please? I wish I'd be your student..

This is such a informative video, thank you so much. Can you pls tell me if I was to reference GEMS questioning tool, how would I do that???Thank you

Really helpful. Id love to explore this more. Are there readings or references for this lecture I can explore ?

Very useful. Thanks alot. I wish I could get the slides shown on the screen please

Hi Siobhan, this really helped me understand all the components. Currently struggling with what is a model of assessment? It's like the exchange and questioning model isn't it? Or is it task centred etc? Thankyou

Thank you

Than you so much

Attractive teaching

thank u

i can't find the link, i need to put this as reference for homework. It really helpful

Perfectly explained but Please Ma’am can you give me more examples on a theory,model, method and approach?

Thank you very much. May be we can add this: "a model may be based on one or more than one theory." Is it possible?

Incredibly useful. Why methods cannot come from a theory?

Wow I can't believe it only takes 15 minutes to understand your explanation!! My class usually takes 100-145 minutes each and I'm still confused with my lecture's explanation

Can I use another word to describe for my better understanding. Can I say that a Theory can be a method while Model cab be seen as a formular?

hi can you give me an example of attachment theory and an approach

Hello, can you explain the difference between a theory and a framework? Thank you

😍😍😍

Is a theory and a framework the same?

Hello do you have a Transcript?

Hmm

I wish I will get scholarship and study with you

So now someone give me examples of approaches in social work

SO WITHOUT CONFIDENCE SOCIAL WORK WOULD BE DIFFICULT

mmh
