Friend, Mark	Beyond Just Games: Building on experiential learning in Drama.	Whilst Drama is a very practical oriented subject where students learn through participation in a range of games, activities, and complex exercises, I am considering how I/we can best consolidate upon this experiential learning through "de-briefing" or questioning of these practical lessons. As such, I am using this internship at Newtown H.S.P.A. as an opportunity to experiment with and explore three basic methods of activity to follow up; 1.) Teacher lead in class questioning and discussion at point of learning, 2.) A student journals for general observations and reflections, and 3.) more specific homework tasks and assessments to target objectives. Though work with a year 7, 8 and 10 class, I am using using these three strategies in differing circumstances to document the successfulness of these strategies in developing student retention and enjoyment of the practical lessons of Drama.
Gale, Anastasia	Understanding ESL students in the classroom	Looking at how ESL students respond to different learning strategies within the classroom.

First, the project looks at educational and juvenile statistics, available programs for boys, substantial research on masculinity and literature on youth. Secondly, their is a fieldwork component based at a Youth Centre. I spent a period of five weeks with six boys who were currently not at school. I utilised participant observation and semi-structured interviewing to explore why they didn't enjoy school, what they wanted to change about school, aspects of youth culture, their family and ethnic background, and their future paths.
Hewitt, Max	Cognitive Styles And Learning Strategies Of Final Year Accounting Students At Macquarie University	A study was conducted of the cognitive styles and learning strategies adopted by, final year accounting students at Macquarie University.

It was found that there was no significant association between any of the cognitive style modes and academic performance, indicating that the assessment procedures at the university are free from bias in this instance.
Holstein, Rebecca	Accommodating to needs in beginner English	My interest is at the CIEC. My project is directed at Group 1 beginner English. There are 3 students and they are from Sudan. The students have been at the centre for 7 months and haven't progressed into the other groups like other students. The students have no literacy . My project is to look at the strategies employed and the results. I will also look at the consequences if students do not make it through the system - for both student and teacher. Finally, I will look at other ways in which I could've helped these students using my teaching strategies.
Honeyman, Emma
Horwood, Peter	G & T on Ice	Identification of a pool of gifted and talented children of Holroyd High School.
Houghton, Steven	The Science of Technology.	Laptops at MLC are compulsory, but in most classes the use of these expensive pieces of technology are optional, with many students choosing not to use them, especially in the older grades. The use of technology in the classroom has been devated in literature to a great extent, and it is not the idea of this active research study. Laptops are here to stay, so let's evaluate :a)Students perceptions of their use, both before and after the study. b) Study period, whereby a series of activities over several weeks are conducted, ALL using Laptops. Then again without their use and comparing the effectiveness (both in productivity and outcomes) and popularity (both students and teacher). c) Discuss results and recommend changes to current policy of optional status in their use.

Ivanek, Daria	The Question Box	As a teacher I recognise the importance of students being motivated and interested in what they learn in order for real learning to occur. In my practise I want to involve and engage students in their learning by stimulating their curiosity and interest in learning. Although this is what I want to achieve, I feel that I am yet to realise this in my teaching. With this in mind I came up with the idea of 'The Question Box' as a means of finding out what the students want to know as well as a way to give them a sense of ownership over the things they learnt.

Nguyet, Thi To Lu	Classroom Management	Different types of strategies for classroom management from non-rule to rule.
Olivetti, Dreon	Visual Composition through Rugby Union	The study presented here resulted in a collection of written and visual texts exploring the compatible elements of Rugby Unioun and Visual Composition. The collection of paintings, drawings and written work defines the compatible elements of the two disciplines and explains how these elements can be used in a cross-discipline teaching technique. Action research methodologies were employed to determine the effectiveness of this technique in a year 7 visual arts class. Through the results of anonymous pre/post testing, it was determined that the students simultaneously learned about Visual Composition and Rugby Union. The results suggested that the combination of traditionally incompatible disciplines in this case Rugby Union and Visual Arts, could be used as a successful teaching technique.

Art club aims to use art as a medium to allow students the opportunity to participate in a positive group setting, with the assurance that they are significant and able individuals, who are valued members of a school community.
Protopsaltis, Anna	Strategies for improving student literacy skills	My action research involves the use of spelling tests as a technique to improve student literacy skills. The first phase of the research consists of giving the students a spelling test with no prior indication of or reference to words and their meanings. Students are simply told to study their topics. The second phase consists of giving the students the spelling test by randomly selecting 10 out of the 20 previously given key words. Words are given without their respective meanings. Students are only told to put the words in a sentence which shows that they understand the meaning of the word. The third and final phase consists of giving the students specific key words with their respective meanings.

This research project sets out to gauge the reaction of students when they are involved in a cooperative classroom environment. My internship placement at a inner west Sydney boys private school saw me implementing a cooperative and peer teaching regime three weeks before exams, in the lowest ability year 10 class. I set out to raise interest in the subject for students dealing with a mixture of learning difficulties and motivational difficulties, within this compulsory history unit. Based upon what my supervising teacher expects from the class and the results that are attained during exams, I plan to assess the value of cooperative learning and peer teaching. And gain an insight into what the students think of this technique.
Romic, Suzanna
Rosenfeld, Stacey
Rustom, Nina	Coping with the 'jelly bean'	Laptops are used in yr 7 science. The students typing skills are not all that great. Using their laptops takes up most of the lesson, whether they are copying down information off the board or writing up a practical. I want to develop teaching strategies to minimise time wastage using laptops in the classroom. i.e to work around/with the laptops in Science.
Salvo, Connie	'Differentiated Programming in the primary classroom.	Differentiated programs are vital in order to ensure that each and every student is getting the most out of your lessons. Programs need to ensure that each individual student is being catered for, whether they be above or below the majority of the class. For example, gifted and talented students are often held back by teachers simply putting them onto 'fast-finisher' activities. In this example, we need o ensure that all teaching/learning experiences allow for the extension of these students, so that they are working to their full potential. The same idea goes for students who are having difficulty.

Skelton, Natalie	Extending Gifted and Talented Students	Throughout my internship I have been attached to a 4/5 class where most of the Year 4 students are doing Year 5 Maths and all students are working with Year (Stage 3) language outcomes. So, how do I extend their knowledge, what methods do I use? There are four solutions I came up with: 1. To give students ownership of their work so they can formulate the direction they take. 2. To give the students harder work, for example give them extension questions that are actually at a Year 6 or 7 level. 3. Have a Fast Finisher system set up that allows the students to pursue a particular area of interest. 4. Give them the opportunity to fine tune their thinking skills, by giving them problem solving worksheets that make them think more abstractly.
