N2 - Methods: by analyzing the data of 240 public schools, private schools, high-quality school districts, and K12 schools in the basic education stage of the United States, 300 courses were retrieved. The information including students' age, course name, keywords, university ranking, course setting, course content, course management, course evaluation, and course structure is sorted out. The data information is processed by knowledge graph to explore the development status and trend of technology discipline in the stage of basic education in the United States. Results: at present, the design discipline is mainly integrated into the five major curriculum groups of science, engineering, art, interdisciplinary, and steam, among which the engineering field and interdisciplinary field are the core of technology in primary and secondary schools. In addition, the interdisciplinary curriculum in more and more middle schools is on the rise, and the curriculum of design thinking is gradually rising in private schools. Conclusion: design discipline is mainly taught in the way of blending disciplines in primary school, and gradually separated in middle school, showing a more and more obvious trend of technical specialization. At the same time, the introduction of design in interdisciplinary is more and more extensive, which provides certain support and guidance for the future introduction of design discipline in primary and secondary schools.
