This article proposes a debate on the philosophical - ontological and epistemological - and political-pedagogical relations between Environmental Education, in its critical-Marxian aspect, and the Historical-Critical Pedagogy. It is postulated that, based on historical-dialectical materialism, Environmental Education constitutes a valuable theoretical and methodological apparatus, especially for potentially developing an emancipatory, transformative and critical pedagogical act, besides presenting relevant heuristic potential in the elucidation of the ideological and political-ecological aspects of the socio-environmental crisis. Critical Environmental Education aligned with Historical-Critical Pedagogy could, therefore, be able to develop a praxis that reveals socio-environmental conflicts, in the context of teaching and school learning. The paper tries to argue for the relevance of the Historical-critical Pedagogy in the proposal of a teaching praxis that uses didactic mediation as a way of adjusting scientific knowledge to the reality of the classroom and to the socio-cultural reality of the student, especially in relation to the interface of society and environment.

Keywords : Environmental education; Historical-dialectical materialism; Historical-critical pedagogy.
