I find the terminology really difficult to explain to my developers, as I am trying to get them to use industry standard terms for test cases etc.

in testopia, you use 'actions' and 'expected results'

in reality, these should be 'steps' and 'expected outcome'

the outcome is important, as the thing that happens may not be a result.

Reproducible: Always
The names for these fields were chosen by a panel of professional testers. I am not sure which industry standards you are referring to. I have seen them called many things. 

Feel free to modify the templates to call them what ever you want. That is one of the beauties of open source. :)
