RESUMO

The importance that is given to the relationship among science, technology, society and environment has been leading, more and more, to the valorization of an educational approach that links specific contents to political, economical and cultural aspects. In Brasil, environmental issues have found a place in the professional education at secondary level, with a more strategic role being given to the teachers that work in it for the formation of the future workers of the technical and the technological area, in order that qualification may have a critical vision, which allows students to associate it with social and environmental development. Professional education must be committed with the transformation of work methods, besides citizen formation. In this context, at Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET-RJ), a theoretical and empiric research was held, within descriptive methodology, with an approach that is both qualitative and supported by quantitative data that were derived during the research. As data gathering instruments that were applied to researched teachers and students, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used, respectively, besides some observations made by the author. Furthermore, the analysis of official documents of the institution, laws and educational opinions were also dealt as data sources.
