SUMMARY:

This thesis seeks to emphasize the need to train professionals in Agricultural Sciences (AC) capable of working sustainably and to understand the main challenges for training professionals capable of applying sustainable practices. The objective of the research was to analyze how the theme of Environmental Sustainability (AS) is contemplated in higher and technical courses of AC in the state of Rondonia. The methodology had a qualitative-quantitative approach, through documentary research and a cross-sectional questionnaire. Thirty-nine Curricular Matrices and 17 Contents of the Disciplines of higher and technical courses were analyzed, as well as 30 questionnaires were applied to AC teachers of the Federal University of Rondonia (UNIR) and the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFRO). Content Analysis was used as the analysis method and the Triangulation strategy was used for data interpretation. Non-Parametric Multivariate Statistics was used to compare the responses of the groups of teachers from UNIR and IFRO. The results of the analysis of the Curricular Matrices showed that the courses with the greatest presence of SA are the Agronomy course at UNIR and the Agroecology technician at IFRO, while Veterinary Medicine at FARON had the lowest incidence with a discipline and the Animal Science technician at SENAR did not have an environmentalized discipline. In the analysis of Curricular Environmentalization (AC) in the content of the disciplines, most of the courses present the characteristics of AC, but those that stood out are Agronomy at IFRO campus Ariquemes, Agronomy at IFRO campus Colorado do Oeste, Agronomy at UNIR campus Rolim de Moura and the technician with the greatest emphasis was Agroecology at IFRO campus Cacoal. Regarding SA in the Conception of Teachers, they stated that they do everything possible to include the theme, but some report difficulties. In the perception of teachers about SA in the Educational Institution, 56.7% evaluate it as average, in relation to the offer of actions, 46.7% declare that they are offered and 36.7% do not know how to inform, 70% of teachers affirm that the institutions address SA in teaching, research and extension projects. Regarding budget to develop projects aimed at SA, 70% reiterate that they do not know if it exists. In relation to SA in Teacher Training, 53.3% say they have been trained, while 33.3% proclaim that they have not had this training. Regarding the presence of SA in the content of the disciplines, 86.7% of teachers address the theme and 92.3% feel able to develop SA in the disciplines. Regarding the Institutions' Training in SA, 46.7% of the teachers did not receive training from the institution, 26.7% claim to have received training and 26.7% do not remember. Regarding the inclusion of SA in CA courses, 100% agree that the topic should be included in the curriculum and 70% of the teachers believe that it should be inserted as a cross-cutting theme. Non-parametric multivariate statistics did not identify any difference in the level of SA between the groups of teachers at UNIR and IFRO. It is concluded that even if SA is present in the institutions investigated, it is still necessary to implement public policies that contribute to institutionalized actions in order to stimulate the training of professionals qualified to implement and monitor Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the state of Rondonia.
