This study follows the line of research "University, Teaching and Education of Teachers". Because of the environmental degradation in which the world finds itself, there are many discussions that point to environmental education as one of the ways to revert this scene. Proposals of courses and projects for environmental education are multiplying as a means of teaching alternative pedagogical procedures and practices for creating a new environmental attitude. The objective of this study was to evaluate the change in values and behavior of a group of teachers that took a course specializing in the Education of Environmental Educators given at a university in the state of São Paulo during 2002. Data, collected by means of a semi-structured questionnaire, was interpreted according to presuppositions of the analysis of content. Two categories were defined "a priori": the environment and environmental education, and the education of the teacher/researcher. We were able to show that there was a change in concepts of environment and environmental education, respectively, in six of the eight teachers interviewed. Regarding the education of teacher/researchers, six of them said they had experienced a change of concept in their pedagogical practices, but only three changed their behavior. Regarding the means to promote environmental education, six teachers indicated the involvement of the practice of participative-research-action that was used during the course.
