The subjects were 38 students, aged between 16 and 19, second year of high school; the instruments of data collection were participant observation and document analysis. The procedure of discursive textual analysis led to the results that describe the different verbalizations carried out by the teacher-researcher in dialogue with the students, in order to stimulate the debate and the learning around the content “environmental impacts” in Biology classes. The discussion of the results points out the partial reach of the explicit and implicit mediation strategies.
