The present text renders a synthesis from a Doctoral Thesis academically appraised five years ago, nevertheless retaining referential value both as to content and method. The research was developed as a socioeducative intervening project within one school of the Municipal School Net of Pinhais-PR, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba. It was implemented and tested an interdisciplinary concept of Environmental Education, departing from a multidisciplinary schooling model (Infusion Method) and directed to an environmentalization of the school curriculum. The project had three phases: theoretical referral - conceptual analysis of EA, including its urgency, roots and development; contextual analysis - the cases of Paraná State, as delimiting context, as of the Pinhais Municipality, as study context; and empirical research - needs assessment, developing of the intervening project, data analysis and interpretation, conclusions and suggestions. That text restricts itself to presenting data from the empirical research of the global study conducted as a thesis.
