Teacher in action research: Supporting pupil's learning of reporting skills in project work

This is an action research conducted by a primary school teacher to support pupils' learning of reporting skills in project work. This action research began with an analysis of several pupils' project reports. A lesson on developing pupils' skills of writing project report was designed. Pupils' responses and work during the lesson and teacher's reflection after the lesson were analyzed to examine the effectiveness of teacher's support. A preliminary analysis of the pupils' review of project reports showed that pupils were able to identify the irrelevant components in project reports and were capable of making suggestions to improve the project reports.
