RESUMO:

Environmental issues such as pollution, degradation, natural resources, energy and food crises, appeared in the last decades of the 20th century, generating a crisis of civilization (LEFF, 2002). Nowadays in modern society, universities are well-positioned institutions to facilitate the transition to sustainability. The question of this thesis is how the relationship between Higher Education and Sustainability occurs at the Federal University of Western Pará in the Amazon context? The general objective is to analyze the relationship between Higher Education and Sustainability at the Federal University of Western Pará, considering the Amazonian context. As specific objectives: to identify the characteristics of Environmental Curriculum (EC) at Ufopa and in its undergraduate courses; understand how Environmental Curriculum has been perceived by different segments of undergraduate courses; to identify innovative Environmental Curriculum practices in undergraduate courses. As methodology it was adopted the bibliographic, documentary and empirical research (GIL, 1999; LAKATOS; MARCONI, 2003). The research was base in a qualitative-quantitative approach. The following data collection instruments were used: semi-structured interview with course coordinators and teachers, in addition to the application of the electronic questionnaire to students of undergraduate courses who expressed interest in participating.. The “Content Analysis” (BARDIN, 1977) was used as a method of analysis and it was supported by the NVivo version 12 plus program for the treatment and discussion data. The results indicated that some characteristics of the EC are present in the Statute and General Regulation, mainly in the mission, vision and principles contained in the Institutional Development Plan (IDP). When analyzing the objectives, competences and skills, the profile of the graduate and the curriculum of the subjects of the undergraduate courses, the presence of some characteristics of the EC was noted. Innovative practices involved the dimensions of teaching, research and extension with emphasis on Curricular Flexibility and some pedagogical strategies adopted by different teachers. A small number of students registered the fact that they felt little or not prepared for the socio-environmental approach in the classroom, even considering the transversality of the theme. This data analyses reveal the necessity to re-plan some actions within the scope of the courses. In the final considerations, some recommendations were made to move forward in terms of EC, mainly in the discussion of teacher training. The concept and characteristics of EC brought important contributions to the discussion on sustainability at Ufopa. However, it cannot be denied that the approach to sustainability in Higher Education remains a challenge and a source for the continuity and conduct of new research.
