“…Chemistry enables to study phenomena that take place in the environment and their chemical processes. It is a transversal field of knowledge which is adequate to address EE in an interdisciplinary process and expand views of the world and nature (Arrigo et al, 2018;Junior & Fernandez, 2016). Chemistry teaching has become necessary to humankind because it is relevant that citizens learn chemical knowledge and understand what takes place around them as the result of chemical transformations that take place in nature.…”

“…Contents of Chemistry may be found in several activities in society, such as production and consumption of chemical products, residue generation and environmental impact, which directly and indirectly affect the environment, quality of life of living beings and citizens' decision-making processes; thus, they are fundamental to develop citizenship (Junior & Fernandez, 2016;Muntholib et al, 2020;Santos & Royer, 2020). Chemistry exerts a very relevant role in children's, adolescents' and adults' development not only by teaching systematized knowledge, but also by contributing to develop critical citizens throughout a responsible, sensitive, contextualized and critical process which prepares individuals to learn, develop their skills and live in society (Nugraha et al, 2020;Soeharto et al, 2019).…”

Preservation, conservation, sustainable development, and quality of life should become part of everyday life for people worldwide. Chemistry teachers should discuss environmental issues with students directly and take the opportunity to promote emancipatory Environmental Education, enabling students to live in harmony with the environment. The first aim of this research is to investigate how Environmental Education in teaching chemistry can shape citizens who are critical of environmental issues. This type of qualitative research uses a participatory action research approach to describe reality and is more concerned with the process than the product. The methods used in collecting data are observation, documentation, and questionnaires. The instrument used in collecting data is a questionnaire. The technique used to analyze the information is descriptive qualitative analysis. The result of the research is that the students express their perceptions about the environment and how human actions disturb nature globally. Individual accountability is becoming an essential objective for promoting a new model of development, which many refer to as sustainable development. In short, it is also proved that the insertion of Environmental Education in Chemistry class is essential for education and the social environment. It is because environmental education provides training to students and the entire school community on the importance of knowing environmental preservation mechanisms.

Compreendendo que as concepções de Educação Ambiental entre os docentes guiam suas práticas profissionais, buscamos reconhecer como professores de ensino médio visualizam a Educação Ambiental, como as inserem em seus planos e se sua prática se orienta para a mudança de paradigmas, protagonismo e pensamento crítico entre os discentes. Delineou-se a pesquisa numa abordagem qualitativa-descritiva, utilizando-se de questionário e entrevista semiestruturada junto a professores de escolas públicas e privadas da cidade do Recife – PE. Percebeu-se o predomínio de uma visão pragmática e naturalista da Educação Ambiental, que guarda relação com a noção presente nos discursos oficiais, e uma atuação tradicional-conservadora em sua prática como culminância de um conjunto de problemas implicados em seu fazer docente desde a formação inicial, gerando insegurança ou fuga da atuação interdisciplinar e para a educação ambiental. Tais profissionais precisam ser devidamente formados, instrumentalizados, e inseridos no centro dos debates, para que uma saída para a atual crise socioambiental se torne uma possibilidade.
