Abstract
A common goal of educational reforms in the U. S. and in China is to improve student learning achievement. Target of the reforms is aimed at helping students become knowledgeable and qualified citizens that can meet the work challenges and demands in the new century. Common issues in the reforms include curriculum design, expectations, assessment, individuality, and instructional approaches. It is believed that perspectives from outside can sometimes help educators recognize the pros and cons in their own practices. This survey study was conducted to investigate how Chinese college students, faculty members and administrators view Chinese and American educational systems. The study also explored what the two sides could learn from each other for their educational excellence respectively.
