Fourth year students are observed in the field during their student teaching and the best student teachers are selected to participate in an event called Macro-Demonstration Teaching. This event is a university acknowledgement of teaching as a profession and allows the entire Faculty of Education to celebrate its top performers. Results of 177 surveys show that this event encourages pre-service educators to want to apply the concepts observed in the Macro-Demonstration Teaching in their own future classrooms. Furthermore, comments from the observers reflect that the event encourages a feeling of solidarity for the professionalism of teaching. General applications for the professional development of teachers will be suggested by comparing Droese's (2010) findings on lesson study in the U.S. as a mechanism for organizational change and the CSU teaching practice of early recognition of quality teachers during pre-service training. The implications of this study suggest ways for not only educators in the Philippines but also educators in Japan to create opportunities for transforming current practice through an innovative use of Lesson Study.}, pages = {9--16}, title = {Transforming Practice through Pre-service Recognition : An Innovative Use of Lesson Study in the Philippines}, volume = {8}, year = {2014}, yomi = {オノ, ユミコ} }
