A theory is a method we use to give us understanding.
One of the major purposes of a theory is to provide an answer to the question ‘why?’. Asking, ‘why?’, to increase your knowledge of a subject area and realign your thoughts and opinions is an essential skill for anybody who wants to learn and develop.
‘Why’ is one of the very first questions that children ask:
“Can you get ready for bed now?” … “Oh why?”
“Why is snow cold?”
“Why do I have to go to school tomorrow?”
“Why is the sky blue?”
Questions like these, from children, can be endless. Often finding or providing suitable explanations can be exhausting and frustrating – perhaps we resort to saying, “Well it just is!” At the basis of such questions however, are a child’s first attempts to understand the world around them, and develop their own theories of why things are the way they are.
Defining ‘theory’, therefore, has to take into account the ‘why?’ question, but a theory is deeper than that. The points below go some way to helping with a definition.

A theory is not necessarily factually based – how we understand and provide explanations arises from our cultural background and how we view the world.
Understanding Theory
Although there are no hard and fast rules, modern theory is usually developed through a series of steps, by academics and scientists.
It is important to understand that the steps to theory development, as listed on this page, are generally thought of as being sequential – one step follows the last.
In reality there is often more than one of these processes being engaged in at any one time.
