This text is the result of a research conducted on the theme Environmental Education in the formal context. We discuss in it concepts of nature, environment and education, discoursing on some categories, through the historical-critical approach. We articulate a dialogue between official documents and the research subjects, considering the language used by teachers, coordinators and students, in their representations of Environmental Education, which are linked to their daily practices. Before all the legal safeguards (legislation, documents) that guide and ensure the development of environmental education in educational institutions, we studied the environmental education, specifically in elementary school (8th grade) in the Southwest region of Paraná, in the headquarter municipalities of the Regional Boards of Education: Francisco Beltrão, Dois Vizinhos and Pato Branco, in 2010, analyzing the objectives of formal Environmental Education, through the speech of the subjects that make up the school. We began this dissertation with a historic walk through the Renaissance - Centuries: fourteenth and fifteenth, placed in Europe - until the rise of modern science, understanding how nature was conceived and represented in this period. The art and writings of this time influenced the scientific observation and experimentation, and, directly, the representation of nature. In the field of education, echoed the Cartesian model of science, expressed directly in the pedagogical thinking of Comenius. This historical and epistemological recovery aims to understand the historical remnants of that period - including the fragmentation of science - and its close ties with the issues that permeate the formal Environmental Education. We chart the paths of Environmental Education, since its establishment until today, showing the important chronological milestones for affirmation of this educational field. We focus on the environmental movement, as well as the categories in which it settle its thoughts and criticisms. Introducing the meanings attributed by the research subjects for Environmental Education, from their enunciations, especially guided in discourse theory, proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin. We followed a dialogue between the official documents, presenting aspects related to National Curriculum Parameters, their creation, use and the constituted proposal from the Transversality. We stress the Basic Education Curriculum Guidelines of the State of Paraná, with emphasis on the Diversity Themed Books, and its notes for Environmental Education. We treat aspects of content and methodologies for Environmental Education, the prospects for learning in this field, based on theoretical concepts of Lev Semenovitch Vygotsky. We show how Environmental Education is valued by teachers, coordinators and students, pointing the wholesome aspects, diagnosing and highlighting the limits and possibilities of its implementation at the schools of the studied region. Among the main limits of Environmental Education, is its presentation and inclusion in the curriculum, who should work, how and when to work, also is the doubt whether or not environmental education shall be a discipline of the school curriculum. The research showed that the Environmental Education, held at the school, has not socio-cultural articulation, it has not been a vector of social change, it has contributed little to this, the way it presents itself and it happens at school
