The socio-environmental changes observed in recent decades show that the world has been going through a serious socio-environmental crisis, making it urgent to think and act in relation to the relationship between human beings and the environment. It is clear that the environment is not able to withstand the consequences of these impacts that affect the quality of life of species across the planet. Thus, Environmental Education (EE) is presented as a permanent educational process for the transformation of the world into a less unfair and more sustainable place. EE in the school context contributes to the formation of conscious citizens, capable of making decisions and acting in socio-environmental realities, it is important that, in addition to information and concepts, the school is willing to work with the formation of attitudes, values and, in consonance with the articulation between theory and practice. Thus, the problem that guides this research arose: What are the challenges faced by teachers of the final years of Elementary Education (EF) of a school in Sergipe for the development of EE in this stage of Basic Education? Therefore, it was defined as a general objective to understand the difficulties experienced by teachers of a school in Sergipe for the development of EE in the final years of Elementary School. The main references used in this study included the authors Freire (2007), Guimarães (2004), Layrargues and Lima (2014). The research is qualitative, and was carried out through semi-structured interviews with six professors who teach Science and Geography classes at the institution Colégio Estadual Professora Glorita Portugal. Faced with the conceptions, strategies and challenges listed by the interviewees to promote EE, there was a strong influence of the conservationist tendency, although there are signs of the Critical tendency in some speeches. In addition, it is clear that it is possible to promote EE in accordance with what is defined by the National EE Policy and the National EE Curricular Guidelines, it is necessary to articulate theory and practice in teaching from an interdisciplinary and transversal perspective, however, the results showed that the investigated school is still not fully following the guidelines present in the legal documents in force.
