- Abstract
High school education serves as a bridge between compulsory and higher education. High school education reflects the quality of national education and affects a country’s overall economic strength and educational progress. As the campus environment is covered by exam-orientation, the utilitarianism and instrumentalization of educational contents, the goal of education deviates that Chinese students’ creativity, cooperation and communication ability have not been well developed. This article aims to make a comparison between the US and China in terms of educational philosophy. It embodies the ideal values and pursuit of education and is enriched as people’s growing understanding of educational development. It contains four areas (i.e., educational purpose, subject development, classroom discipline, and competition and cooperation). The findings showed that the purpose of education in China is to develop the test-taking ability, while the educational goal in the US is to cultivate qualified citizens. Besides, China’s discipline development is biased towards scientism, while the US adopts multiple intelligence theory. Third, China classroom discipline emphasizes teachers’ authority and honor the truth, while freedom and equality are valued in the US.
