Tao Xingzhi's educational thought transcends Dewey's educational thought.

Tao Xingzhi's educational thought surpasses Dewey's educational thought in the following aspects:

1, Tao Xingzhi pays more attention to cultivating students' emotional education and humanistic quality, emphasizing people-oriented and paying attention to students' personality and creativity, which is more in line with the needs of contemporary society for talent training.

2. Tao Xingzhi advocates practical education and experiential education, and pays more attention to the close connection between education and life, which can better help students apply what they have learned to real life.

3. Tao Xingzhi's educational thoughts are more in line with the characteristics and values of China's traditional culture, and can inherit and carry forward the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. Of course, this does not mean that Dewey's educational thought has no value and significance. Dewey's educational thought had an important influence at that time and now, especially in promoting educational reform and innovation, promoting students' all-round development and social progress.
