Narrative:

I am an instructor and I was on a proficiency flight with an individual practicing for a CFI check ride. I was sitting in the left seat and the student was sitting in the right seat. The student was acting as PIC for the entire flight. I observed the student practice some maneuvers in the practice area; and after about 5 mins he was ready to return for practice in the traffic pattern. The student received the ATIS and contacted the tower requesting 'the option.' he performed 3 touch-and-goes and; while rolling after the third landing; the student retracted the flaps; turned off the carburetor heat and put the gear selector to the 'up' position. I tried to move the selector to the 'down' position; but the nose gear had already collapsed. The propeller struck the runway and the airplane skidded to a stop on the runway centerline. The student approved assistance from the tower; performed the emergency securing checklist; and we both exited the aircraft uninjured.
