Abstract:

In the process of the reform of the basic education curriculum in the United States, the three forces of academic, national and market have been running through it. Among them, the academic power participates in the curriculum reform power game through direct advocacy, indirect pressure and fund investment as the forerunner; the state power participates in the curriculum reform power game through legal compulsory, grant support and official prestige as rule makers; market forces act the identity of the controller, which involved in the curriculum reform power game through positive management and reverse forced. The three forces exist in the state of “Nash Equilibrium” in mutual exclusion and mutual restraint, and solve social problems by means of the way of scientism, so as to achieve the purpose of pragmatism. This provides a new way of thinking for our country to establish the curriculum reform system of multi-power subjects and realize the logic consciousness of curriculum generation based on socialist core values.

Key words: America, basic education curriculum reform, power game, triangular relationship
