Academic research, Brazilian and international documents emphasize the concern for conservation education and the scenario of high species extinction. Considering the dialogical problem-solving perspective of the didactic material PROBIO-Environmental Education (PROBIO-EE), this constitutes a potential tool for the classroom. This work aimed to make the evaluation of the contribution of PROBIO-EE for understanding of the central concept of species extinction, through the use of concepts presented in the material. The evaluation was performed in the classrooms of 6th grade in two public schools in Brasília - Brazil. Concept Maps (CM) were produced in pre and post-test, and among them, students used the PROBIO-EE. The student’s CM were compared with maps produced by experts. Results showed that students construct CM more like those of experts and produced more right relationships about the central concept, that is limited at school.
