Over the years Science has been treated as neutral, logical and legitimate, having no direct relationship with Technology and the benefits or harm brought by the Society in relation to the Environment. One approach that seeks to relate the four concepts in an equitable way is the Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STSE) approach. The STSE vision becomes an ally of Education for citizenship, and both can complement each other in their goals. In this way, students' vision becomes the object of observation and analysis. Following this approach it is possible to draw a parallel between the perspective of historical-critical pedagogy and the STSE movement. This connection can be addressed in environmental issues and together can contribute in an important way to direct education towards the training of the critical citizen. In this same perspective, some authors argue that the learning of the school contents must be contextualized and linked to the events that surround the students. The present research aims to understand, through the construction of a dialogue between the fields of Education and STSE, how Rio Doce presents itself as multiple object through the analysis of the students’ perspectives of Vila Regency high school (Linhares, ES, Brazil), on environmental issues that impact their daily lives. A predominantly qualitative approach was used, composed of questionnaires, debates and participatory observation. The research was divided in six different moments (application of the initial questionnaire, lectures, debate on the themes (1: Fish, food and health, 2: Leisure and Rio Doce, 3: Rio Doce’s contamination by mining tailings), production and presentation of models, interviews with grandparents and application of the final questionnaire). The answers obtained in the questionnaires were distributed in eight categories (Affect (Feelings and Remembrances), Food and Water, Income’s source, Leisure, Nature, Household Tasks, Tourism and Uncategorized). Through this research it was possible to promote the reflection about the perceptions of elementary school students about environmental issues related to Rio Doce.
