This paper argues that noetic studies, contemplation, or theoria ought to take greater precedence in education than is currently the case. Our modern focus on and fascination with information technologies serves in many ways to thwart and to discourage the cultivation of noetic studies and the pursuit of wisdom in schools. The suggestion throughout this paper is that if the significance of pre-modern and non-technological ways of knowing could be made clear and convincing to education stakeholders, it seems likely that the appropriateness of such pursuits might be recognized, and their practice rendered more frequent as a kind of corrective to technological education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Cet article soutient que les études en « sciences noétiques, » la méditation ou la contemplation devraient actuellement occuper une plus grande place qu'elles ne le font en matière d'éducation. Aujourd'hui, notre fascination pour les technologies de l'information, et l'importance qu'on y accorde, sert à bien des égards à contrecarrer et à décourager la culture des études en sciences noétiques et la quête de la sagesse dans les écoles. Cet article s'applique à démontrer, que si l'importance des moyens pré-modernes et non technologiques liés au savoir pouvait être rendue claire et convaincante aux yeux des responsables des politiques éducatives, il semble probable que la pertinence de telles activités pourrait être reconnue, et leur pratique rendue plus fréquente, constituant une sorte de « correction » à l'enseignement technologique.
