The data were collected through a questionnaire containing open questions, and interpreted the presuppositions according to the contents analysis. It defined two categories for analysis: environment and environmental education and the reflexive educator's formation. It was verified that there is a restricted understanding of what is environmental education and environment, because in the answers predominate the conservationist aspects of natural atmosphere. Regarding the reflexive educator's category formation, it was verified, the contrary the expectations, environmental educators developing pedagogic practices with instrumental characteristics. The way to overcome this dichotomy, it intended a continuous educational formation, foreseen in the Law 9.795/99, and it was presented two suggestions of academic environmental education: the environmental map and the planning of participation. / O presente estudo se insere na linha de pesquisa Universidade, Doc?ncia e Forma??o de Professores , e tem por objetivo entender como se desenvolve a educa??o ambiental no curso de Engenharia Ambiental de uma universidade p?blica do interior de S?o Paulo e quais as concep??es de seus professores, sujeitos da pesquisa, sobre as pr?ticas pedag?gicas que desenvolvem relacionadas ?s quest?es do meio ambiente. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um question?rio contendo perguntas abertas, e interpretados conforme os pressupostos da an?lise de conte?do. Foram definidas a priori duas categorias de an?lise: meio ambiente e educa??o ambiental e forma??o do educador reflexivo. Verificou-se que h? um entendimento restrito do que seja educa??o ambiental e meio ambiente, uma vez que nas respostas predominaram os aspectos conservacionistas do ambiente natural. Com rela??o ? categoria forma??o do educador reflexivo, constatou-se, ao contr?rio do esperado, educadores ambientais desenvolvendo pr?ticas pedag?gicas com caracter?sticas tecnicistas. Para a supera??o desta dicotomia, prop?s-se uma forma??o docente continuada, prevista na Lei 9.795/99, e apresentou-se duas sugest?es de educa??o ambiental universit?ria: o mapeamento ambiental e o planejamento participativo.
