Abstract

The environmental issue has been the subject of several international debates and events, given the need and complexity of observing human-environment relationships in society as a whole. Environmental education becomes a permanent process in which individuals and the community become aware of their environment and acquire knowledge, values, skills, experiences and determination that make them capable of solving environmental problems in the present and in the future. Based on this assumption, this article investigated the pedagogical practice of teachers who work in elementary education with the theme of Environmental Education. For this, a mapping of these teachers' conceptions was carried out, observation of the didactic resources used in the classroom to approach the theme and identification of the difficulties presented by them when working on the theme Environmental Education. As for the methodology, it is a research with a qualitative approach. For the production of data, bibliographical and documentary research was used. Data were collected from the application of a semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed following a descriptive approach. The results show a sense of urgency for the environmental issue to be addressed in teacher training courses working in elementary school. It was understood that this theme should be worked on in an interdisciplinary, transversal and contextualized way, as suggested by the BNCC, so that it contributes to the formation of the individual as a whole and that he is able to make him a critical, reflective and sensitive citizen to environmental issues.
