This work seeks to check the effects of participation research in the making of a curriculumand pedagogical practices in school environment at Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Paulo Freire.Thus, the following specific goals are to be analyzed: discuss the concepts of EnvironmentEducation adopted by Brazilian Education managers; describe the historical/social context thatcontributed for the school to choose the participation research methodology and to present theview of teachers that took part in the preparation of the PPP about the effects of the participationresearch in the making of the curriculum and the pedagogical practices in Environment Education.The research was done using the quality bibliographic method. The investigation showed that thatthere is a great gap between the pedagogical message and the educational practice, as well aswhat meaningful changes in education need structural and financial support of the managers. On the other hand, some advances in the every day activities of the school investigated were found,as for example: the understanding of the environment education concept as inter-curricular, theunderstanding of the need to contribute to the formation of citizenship, the recognition of theimportance of knowing the reality of the student, the understanding of the need to contextualizelocal problems and try to solve them, the perception of the importance of a teacher becoming aresearcher, the highlight of participation methodologies, the evaluation of a descriptive statementand the fact that the subjects have the same time in the curriculum.
