Undergraduate Courses in Countryside Education were created in several universities with the formative purpose of meeting the demand of Brazilian diversity and the demands of social organizations. In this sense, there is a need to investigate how the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) of the Graduation in Countryside Education of the Federal University of Roraima deals with questions related to nature and how it establishes interfaces with the environment. For the accomplishment of the study, the curricular document of the mentioned course was taken as base, giving priority to the content analysis (Bardin, 2011). The analysis was based on the concept of curriculum from the perspective of Apple and Beane (2001), Moreira (2007), Freire and Shor (2008), among others. It was found that the document establishes interfaces between knowledge, such as between the environment and environmental education. However it was evidenced that there is not much clarity in the methodological procedures of the implementation of the project and in the accomplishment of the activities in the Community Time.
