This text aims first at presenting some theoretical premises and fundaments that allow for the construction of an interdisciplinary practice in Environmental Education by means of integrated actions between teaching and research. Secondly, the interdisciplinary practice implemented in the Doctorate in Environment and Development from the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil, is presented in the Course of Environment Education. The proposed activity concerns the construction and reconstruction of knowledge and brings up an interaction between de Courses in the fields of Social and Natural Sciences, allowing for a joint practice of teaching and research. The ideas and practices developed are based on experiences with problematics methodology conducted by Maguerez (BORDENAVE; PEREIRA, 1982); Berbel (1994) and Knechtel (1998). The fundamental is supported by Leff (1995); Piaget (1970); Vygotski (1988); Floriani (1998-99); Medina (1997); Fazenda (1995-97); Vásquez (1977); Fourez (1995), among others.
