Teacher training in Brazilian Amazon has been an important object of contention and discussions. Such issue is being related to some interests, which handle social representations, and generate non-existence processes over the decades, more accurately by converging trading, exploitation and violence. To get these non-existence processes settled, the interest in recognising Environmental Education has grown in the pedagogical training of teachers who play in Elementary School in Castanhal, Pará, Brazil. Theoretical and methodological framework were qualitative-oriented, and based on Theory of Social Representations in which 121 teachers that answered a questionnaire, supplemented by two discussion groups and participant observation, participated. Our findings indicate universities’ difficulties in achieving relationships in order to set up and get widespread knowledge when they are considered in their own daily routine, particularly regarding research and extension activities.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Social Representations; Teacher Training; Amazon.
