Environmental education and the contextualization of teaching have had a recurrent approach in scientific works of several areas of knowledge today. In meetings, conferences and debates the theme has a relevant place, being the common point the search for a new social, ethical and moral mentality with regard to environmental issues. In this sense, scientific education, more specifically, chemical education plays a decisive role, being able not only to raise awareness but to strengthen the awareness of students and future professional citizens. However, the questions arise: do teacher education curricula, in the case of undergraduates, express this concern? Is this issue being addressed by teachers and other educational agents? And what about the training of trainers who will train the future teachers of Basic Education? In this article we are going to focus on these issues, which encompass legal determinations, real situations, training needs and perspectives for a citizen training. It is, in fact, some reflections based on works that encompass the subject, with a view to intensify the debate on the subject, to discuss a subject that is on the agenda and is being discussed frequently.
