Environmental Education (EE) is established as a dimension of education and should be addressed at all education levels. Furthermore, it should be considered as a policy education allowing citizens to claim their rights and duties. Thus, this study presents the description of a Formation Course conducted with teachers of a public school, which aimed to assist them to insert and practice the EA in an interdisciplinary perspective. This research is a case study with a descriptive-qualitative approach and was carried out with teachers from a state school in the city of Santa Maria - RS. The Formation Course was divided into three stages: 1) Presentation and questioning; 2) Development, explanation of topics and methodologies; 3) Preparation of lesson plans. The results showed that subjects used to work with the EE in their disciplines, but often did not know how to build an interdisciplinary work and continue this. Through the formation course the teachers were able to expand their perceptions of EE, and Know new methodological strategies (Problematization Methodology and Thematic Workshops) to help them in teaching.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Training Course for Teachers; Methodologies.
