The objective was to stimulate the conservationist behavior in elementary school students from environmental practices in the Metropolitan Park of Pituaçu. The Park is an Urban Conservation Unit of Atlantic forest, currently with 378 ha. We evaluated 116 students from four schools adjacent to the Park. We performed three phases: 1. Conceptual (lecture), 2. Procedimental (observation of fauna and environmental variables in the Park) and 3. Attitudinal (production of drawings and texts). In the first phase we applied questionnaires to the 116 students; in the second and third phase, 58 students participated and they answered the questionnaire once more. We compared the questionnaires using the t-test and Mann-Whitney test. There was no significant difference, both in relation to the general average (p = 0.5970; t '= 0.5302), when compared to the subjective questions individually. This result is unusual because, we hoped that participation in the procedural phase would contribute to the learning of the children. In this way, we consider the questionnaire an insufficient tool, since it was interfered with by the euphoria of the students in the procedural activity. We corroborate this inference when we perceive a student's learning from the analysis of the drawings and texts produced after the procedural phase. We propose the application of tools that stimulate creativity, such as creation of drawings, games and play texts to evaluate environmental practices.
