This qualitative research is focused on a case study, in which the object of study is the degree program in Chemistry at the National Pedagogical University where we developed three methodological phases (Diagnosis, characterization, and approach to curriculum guidelines) in order to determine the inclusion of the environmental dimension in the program; since according to the applications of the Environmental Education Policy proposed by the Ministry of National Education (MEN) and the Ministry of Environment (MMA) in 2002, the inclusion of the environmental dimension is needed at all levels of education, where the education of the chemistry teacher plays an important role in civic education. Then, in this paper, we will present results obtained in the characterization phase from the documentary analysis.
