The reductionist around the term 'environment' has often been observed in the pedagogical routine of educational institutions, these when deal with such problematic, are limited to a merely ecological-naturalist understanding, a fact that proves the need for to enable the development of didactic strategies capable of reaching these formative spaces and resignify knowledge of this nature. In this sense, the introduction of Educação Ambiental (EA) [Environmental Education] in schools at all levels and modalities of education can contribute to produce changes in behavior, attitudes and values, in order to defend, conserve and preserve the Environment for the present and future generations. Thus, the research aimed to investigate the perception of EA that holds students and educator in the context of teaching geography in fundamental education at the school EEEFM Coronel Serveliano de Farias Castro in the municipality of Caraúbas – PB.
