LEITE, Rosana Franzen  and  RODRIGUES, Maria Aparecida. Educação ambiental: reflexões sobre a prática de um grupo de professores de química. Ciência educ. [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.01, pp.145-161. ISSN 1516-7313.

This paper discusses some aspects of the pedagogical practice of Chemistry teachers, regarding the environment education theme in High School. Thirteen High School Chemistry teachers from a Paraná state’s city in Brazil took part in this study, by answering to a semi structured interview. From the analyzed discourses, the aspects of Environmental Education that these teachers try to develop in their classes, the goals for approaching environmental issues, the experiences with the environmental theme, and the contents which make possible to establish relations between Chemistry concepts and environment for those interviewees came to light. In many answers, a conservative conception of Environmental Education is identified that reflects the way by which the teacher deals with this issue, even if in an incipient way.

Keywords : High School; Environmental Education; Pedagogical Practice.
