RÉSUMOÀ la suite de l'invitation de I'IRPA à s'exprimer sur l'article du Pr. ABSTRACT Contribution of the French socieîy for radiation protection to the current reflections on the possible improvements of the radiological risk management system.Following the invitation from IRPA to comment on the article written by Professor Roger Clarke entitled "Control of Low Level Radiation Exposure: Tme for a Change?", the Board of the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP) decided to set up a working group on "controllable dose". The latter, which worked from April 1999 to July 2000, consisted of some twenty members repmenting the stakeholders involved in radiological protection in France: authorities, experts and professionais from nuclear, medical and research fields as well as associative movement. The present article, which has been approved by the Board of SFRP, summarises the findings of the WG presented during the IRPA-10 Congres in May 2000. The WG f i n t examined the current hypothesis on radiological risk and noted their relevance for a practical management of such a risk. Then, a list of the difïerent exposure situations and their associated characteristic was elaborated in a table form, followed hy a discussion on the situations when the system of radiological protection fits weii, less Weil or bad, parîicularly through the implemenîation of the general principles of radiological protection. The WG finally made proposals to ICRP for an evolution of the system towards a more operational way.

Ce travail, par le biais d’une expérience pédagogique simple, a pour objectif de mettre en perspective les rôles possibles de l’éducation aux médias au sein de l’enseignement, face aux nombreux enjeux contemporains, liés aux innovations technologiques, et en regard des impératifs de formation des jeunes à un « esprit critique ». Plus particulièrement, un dispositif pédagogique expérimental est analysé : il s’agit d’examiner les performances de jeunes avant et après discussion en groupe face à une activité d’évaluation de fiabilité des sources sur Internet. Ce test permet non seulement de constater des lacunes chez certains jeunes, mais aussi de déterminer qu’il ne suffit pas de créer un espace de discussion entre pairs pour qu’émerge à coup sûr une attitude plus critique envers l’information.
