The United States and China have national geography standards that identify the knowledge, concepts, principles, and skills that students should know and be able to use. This paper compares the geography standards of these two countries, specifically the standards for the middle school using content analysis and concept mapping as the methodological technique. The findings suggest that although there are a number of similarities between both country’s documents, there are also significant differences, which are worth pointing out.
