美感素養是敏銳適應現世及有效因應未來，所必備的知識、技能、態度以及習慣。美感素養導向的教學，在追求品質價值的教育。本文先從美感教育的角度，論述美感素養的內涵；再從美感教育相關學理的梳理，探討美感素養導向教學的理論基礎；接著，藉由美感教育中長程計畫第一期五年計畫、十二年國民基本教育「藝術涵養與美感素養」政策文獻內涵的詮釋，確認美感素養教學的存在意義；然後，研提美感素養導向的教學模式，主張以美感素養做為各領域教學的共同核心，強化美感經驗知覺辨識與價值判斷的實踐，以供推動素養導向教學時參考。

Aesthetic literacy is about the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits that allow individuals to keenly adapt to the present and to effectively respond to the future. Aesthetic literacy is about learning the value of pursuing quality. From the perspective of aesthetic education, this paper begins with a clarification of aesthetic literacy. By extension, the author constructs the theoretical basis for teaching aesthetic literacy. From reviewing the government’s Five Years Aesthetic Education Plan and 1-12 National Curriculum Guideline, it is apparent that aesthetic literacy is a new key in recent education reforms in Taiwan. In fact, it has been and continues to be as one of the common core literacies for all learning areas. Therefore, an effective teaching model based on cultivating aesthetic sensibility and judgment is proposed for consideration.
