BUSS, Aldineia  and  SILVA, Mariela Mattos da. Weaknesses of environmental education in public schools: the teacher training. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2021, vol.30, e8982.  Epub May 14, 2021. ISSN 2238-2097.  https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v30ijan/dez.8982.

In this work, we try to understand the conditions required for the development of Critical Environmental Education in schools, in a special way, the teacher training. The research was conducted with the participation of 34 teachers from two state public schools in Colatina-ES. Data were collected from questionnaires and qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed. The results showed that there is a deficiency in teacher training regarding environmental issues, both in initial and continued training. Therefore, there is a need for the improvement and opportunization of teacher education consistent with the objectives of Critical Environmental Education.
