This research had as its main objective analyzing the contribution of the Physical Education courses (Licentiate and Bachelor degrees) of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) in the preparation of future professionals of the area to work with the environmental theme. To this end, the following specific objectives were drawn: a) to analyze how the professors of the Physical Education courses of UFS contribute, through their pedagogical practices, to the preparation of the students to work with the environmental theme; b) to seek the students' understanding of how the environmental theme is developed in their initial training in Physical Education courses at UFS; c) to understand how the environmental theme materializes in the curricula of the Physical Education training courses of UFS. The sample included two distinct groups, but intertwined concerning the object of this research. The first was composed by all the in-service professors who teach units that are part of the curricular matrix of the Physical Education courses at UFS. The second group was composed of students from the Physical Education courses at UFS who attended at least 80% of the total course credits. The research was descriptive-explanatory, with a quantitative-qualitative approach. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The analysis of the data allows to conclude that the approach of the environmental theme in Physical Education courses at UFS have significant limitations, considering the following main points: a) it materializes by means of sporadic actions or by the action of teachers who choose to approach the theme motivated by different interests, not having a direct association to institutional / legal demands; b) there is an interest of greater insertion of the thematic, but this action is still highly limited by the lack of conceptual knowledge (what to insert) and structural knowledge (how to insert); c) the most significant actions of insertion of the environmental theme in the curriculum are carried out by noncompulsory curricular units and research projects, being possible for the student to pass through the course without having more in-depth contact with the subject. Despite the limitations presented in the current structure, most of the interviewees (professors and students of the course) recognize the importance and necessity of greater insertion of the theme in the course’s curriculum, also manifesting an interest in promoting this insertion. This is an important data considering possible research in the future that provides the bases (conceptual / structural) to achieve this objective.
