To be in accordance with scholar sense data from 2008, this municipality has two hundred and five municipal schools, being fifteen integral time schools, and this research has been applied in six of these schools. We analyzed the Environmental Education practices realized in these six schools especially in the cycle 1, groups: A, B and, C, besides, the way which Municipal Secretaryship and Government help or motive their teachers to this practice and whether they offer capacitating courses in this area. The research aimed to analyze what educators thinking about Environmental Education (EE) and which are the activities and projects developed in this schools. We inquired the curricular matrix of the pedagogy courses and Superior Teaching Institutions of the Goiânia to analyze of the contents refer to EE. In front of observations done, the results were that teachers of the cycle 1 do a work with their students, trying to attain the exigencies previewed for MEC, pointed by Curricular Parameters, about transversal themes, besides, it is a shy work and with difficulties of collective accomplishment. The community doesn t take part in projects in which the schools work with the children. These difficulties which pedagogue detected to have origin previewed in their academic formation, once the pedagogy course matrixes didn t offer sufficient disciplines to contemplate a bigger qualification of pedagogue to feel security to teach classes about EE. From this research we can conclude that effective work accomplishment, which is consistent with the exigencies of the current legislation about EE to children who start their scholar activities, is closely linked to the necessity of continued education to the teachers of the Teaching Municipal Network, in which courses that ponder the several focus of EE are offer. It is necessary to review the curricular matrixes of the current pedagogy courses to solve or at least contributing to a best qualification of the future pedagogues. Insertion of EE in the pedagogue formation will must be built as a natural process at universities along of next years.
