教師為一「百年樹人」之職業。然，在教育實踐場域中，除了授課之餘，教師仍有許多相對繁雜之事務須親身處理，成為其身為教師之外的工作負擔與壓力。是以，本研究以論析我國與部分OECD國家教師授課及其工作負擔情形，爬梳描繪教師一職之樣貌，期待以國際比較分析的方式，借鏡國外經驗以增益國內現況。研究發現，(1)我國教師在授課時數上，與他國相較不遠，唯淨教學時數比其他國家為低；(2)我國教育環境與他國互有優缺，然生師比較低、教師薪資較優、班級學生數稍高、行政工作較多；(3)我國教師之工作職責與他國相似，但缺少在職專業培訓、教師評鑑與教師分級等專業要求。最後，本研究提出建議，期待相關單位為教師制定更明確、法治化與專業化的工作條件。
