Ciência & Educação, Bauru, v. 18, n. 3, p. 737-754, 2012.e- 1980-850Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/17015The article shows the results of a survey aimed at identifying the perceptions of Biology teachers from Piracicaba, SP, and of graduating Biological Sciences students. The presence of environmental education in their initial training is investigated in order to discuss the introduction of the theme at the university in general and specifically in the Biological Sciences. The results indicate that the biology teachers still need more critical environmental education training and this training, from a complex perspective, needs to be intense in order that degreed professionals can effectively act in civic education for a more sustainable society.porAcesso AbertoFormação de professoresEducação ambientalEnsino de biologiaEnsino superiorTeacher trainingEnvironmental educationBiology teachingHigher educationArtigo10.1590/S1516-73132012000300016
