: This study discusses the environmental education in practice and the challenges faced by teachers before the law. This is a field study, exploratory in nature, where it is intended to reflect the effectiveness of environmental education in pedagogical practice, together with teachers from schools in Araripina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. The starting point is the teachers' perception about the pedagogical practice related to environmental education. 45 teachers were interviewed, through a previously structured script. The answers showed that, although they have an academic background at the level of specialization lato sensu, the teachers do not have specific training to work with the transversal themes planned, especially with the theme Environmental Education, as required by the legislation. The teachers' perception points to the need for a more specific training in terms of the environment, in addition to another, more focused on the reflection on the importance of strengthening human values, to strengthen the construction of citizen subjects.
