The research on professionalization of teacher education in China has a long history, but most of them focus on the development of primary and secondary school teachers, while few pay attention to that of the university teachers. The professionalism and teaching skills of university teachers merit attention for they affect the development of the nation. Through the mode of "evaluation + training + burden reduction," professionalization of university teacher education in China could be realized. We should establish a qualification access and evaluation system and a professional skills training system applicable to university teachers. In the career evaluation system, we should increase the share of teaching quality and reduce the share of scientific research, hence reducing teachers' burden of scientific research.
