隐性教育是近年来的学术热点之一，它不一定是从西方“舶来”的术语。近代皖籍教育家江谦很早便谈论过隐性教育，他发现北洋政府统治下的学校教育过于强调“人人所见之教育”，而忽视了“人所不见之教育”，这是一种片面思维。隐性教育实为“教育之要”，不能低估隐性教育的作用。作为一种隐性教育，江谦指出“心之观想”的内涵、特点及教育作用等，说明应当如何疏导“心之观想”。如今我们处于后疫情时代，“线上”教育快速发展，成为“人人所见之教育”；而“线上”隐性教育的研究不足，值得我们深入研究。

"Implicit Education" was not a term "imported" from the West. Modern Anhui educator Jiang Qian talked about "Implicit Education" very early. Under the rule of the Beiyang government, Jiang Qian found that the society paid more attention to "Explicit Education" and neglected "Implicit Education". This was a one-sided thinking that underestimated the role of "Implicit Education"; "Implicit Education" was actually the "essential of education". Jiang Qian pointed out the connotation, characteristics and educational function of "views" as a kind of "Implicit Education", and explained how to guide "views". Now in the post-epidemic era, "online education" is developing rapidly, but the "Implicit Education" of "online education" is almost research blank, which means more research is needed in this field.
