This text investigating the inclusion of environmental education (EE) in pre-service science teacher training via extension projects. The theoretical and methodological framework adopted was the of Critical Discourse Analysis, specifically the work of Norman Fairclough The aim of the study were to characterize discursive representations of EA in scope of two university extension projects who work with EA. In general, the texts of the two projects analyzed are present hybrid discursive representations of EA. Often the activities proposed in the texts were theoretically targeted by critics EA, seeking the empowerment of social actors, but using practical approaches disconnected from broader discussions of critical environmental education, focusing on technical and scientific content or behavioral changes
