The theme of sustainable development requires an appropriate approach in teacher training methods for teaching science and biology. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering this training need to be aware and sensitized about the importance of curricular integration of theories and practices related to sustainable development. This study aims to contribute to the characterization of the theme Sustainability as formative need for teaching practice of biology teachers in initial training in undergraduate courses face life sciences and distance in UFRN, based on the perceptions of students who are in phase completion of the course. The research developed in a qualitative and quantitative approach. Were adopted as methodological procedures, the use of a questionnaire with open and closed questions and a structured questionnaire in VOSTS model (Views on Science-Technology-Society to investigate the opinions of licentiate in Biological Sciences distance and face University Federal Rio Grande do Norte on education for sustainable development. the open questions were analyzed through the technique of Preparation and analysis of Meaning Units, which is based on content analysis. the results showed that most participants do not feel safe in approaching the subject but also can not develop the content taught in science or specifically in biology in association with issues that relate to sustainability principles. the profile of students has shown that they have different characteristics, since most are the higher age and low income, having completed the elementary and secondary education in public schools and being in the exercise of professional activity. Also allowed to establish, in relation to the global attitudinal index, the issue of education for sustainable development, although it is present in the training of these teachers also need more incentive and an effective curriculum integration, during initial training, rated course . This data can provide support for the prospect of adequacy of teaching strategies in the distance with regard to greater integration of the theme of to sustainable development education, contributing in the future with relevant data that can support Agenda 30 in the regions of offer the courses.
