摘要：The aim of this study was to discuss the formation of teachers and their conceptions and pedagogical practices in relation to Environmental Education in Solid Waste in the context of Early Childhood Education.The methodological notes concern the qualitative approach, of the "case study" type.Ten preschool teachers from the Municipal Schools of Kindergarten were listed as research subjects and the data were obtained through semi-structured interviews.In this article we present the discussions concerning the pedagogical conceptions about Environmental Education, Consumption and Solid Waste mentioned by the preschool teachers.The teachers' conceptions about Environmental Education permeate the bias of Environmental Awareness, linked to the child's relationship with the environment in which they live.Regarding Solid Waste, the teachers connect the theme with recycling.Most teachers understand the distinction between Consumption and Consumerism.We believe that Environmental Education in Solid Waste should be carried out in Early Childhood Education based on daily situations and guided by pedagogical practices appropriate to the children's possibilities of comprehension, which includes a good initial and continuous teacher training on environmental issues.
