Concepts, practices of environmental education and citizen training in school The objective of this study was to investigate the environmental education process in a public elementary school in the municipality of Capistrano-CE. This is an analytical research with a quantitative approach, carried out with 40 students from a municipal public school. A questionnaire containing questions that addressed ambiental education (EA) concepts and practices was applied to the participants. The results indicate that the teaching and practice of EA in schools are important contributors to social practices, being the environmental practice in school and differentiated classes as fundamental to social and environmental practices. It is, therefore, evidenced that the school, as promoter of knowledge and citizenship, sometimes dodges, failing to meet the socioenvironmental desires of its students.
