This paper, which adopts the academic essay, sought, based on others and own reflections, to present, question and interweave, theoretical constituents that could justify the adoption of Cooperative Learning (CL) as an environmental educational practice. For this purpose, with the use of a qualitative research of interpretivist and constructivist nature, the following sub-themes were analyzed: the man-environment relationship, the concept of environment, the process of assigning meanings, the pedagogical practice, the constituent elements of environmental competency and the cooperative learning groups. It was from these reflections and the analysis of the premise that the CL provides more complex syntheses in regard to elements and/or situations that constitute the individual environment of subjects which reached to the following thesis: using Cooperative Learning as an educational practice in Science teaching and Environmental Education contributes to an expansion of the environment to foster teaching and learning processes of conceptual, procedural and attitudinal components of the environmental competence. Such expansion is due to the increase of the number of the meaningful elements that become part of the individual subjective world and as a result of the redefinitions of existing relations.
