How to write a report - theories and theorists?

[Barb123]

Hello,

I'm doing a level 3 diploma and have just been given assignment 023.

This is the first time I have undertaken any child care training and am struggling a bit to know what is expected.

I have to write a report showing i understand the differing theories of development and identify how these theories have influenced current practice including:

Cognitive
Psychoanalytical
Humanist
Social learning
Operant conditioning
Behaviourist
Social pedagogy

I can find the information but I'm not sure how to lay it out in a report, having never produced one before.

Does anyone have an example i could see or any suggestions, many thanks.
