提升教師素質向來為世界先進國家所關注，為提升教師專業素質，世界各國莫不藉「教師專業證照制度」以達其效。教師證照制度係指透過檢定的過程與程序，以確認教師專業資格與能力的一種行政措施，目的在確保教師能具備並維持應有的專業素質。我國於2002年修正《師資培育法》後，中小學教師證照的取得方式已由傳統的審定制改變為檢定制，然而如此變革卻仍不具「專業證照制度」之精神與實質意義，實無法達成提升教師專業素養及整體教育成效之目標。為瞭解我國中小學教師證照制度之內涵與問題，本文茲以專業證照制度之內涵為基礎，並分析我國教師證照制度之現況，以探究我國中小學教師證照制度之問題，並提出相關建議與討論，以供相關人員參考。
