Abstract

This dissertation aimed to capture the multiple aspects the fair of Ver-o-Peso, a non-formal and not institutionalized space of education, for the constitution of the teaching guide, based on the perspective of interdisciplinarity. The local has a historical, cultural and economic importance to the city of Belém, in Pará state. We emphasize in the construction of this text, theoretical aspects related to formal, non-formal and informal as well as the meaning of interdisciplinary attitude. The participatory research, itself, was organized through the development, evaluation and validation of the Didactic Guide in a collaborative process between teachers and students of basic education and also to the researcher. The choice of the construction of this product is justified by the lack of teaching materials that allows basic education teachers use non-formal spaces non-institutionalized, in this case the fair of Ver-o-Peso, in their educational practice. In the Guide, was emphasized only four didactic potential, due to the complexity and variety of issues that can be worked, which are: Ver-o-Peso history, location, economy and territorialization of the Ver-o-Peso fair, pharmacology and Ver-o-Peso "enchantments" and the marajoara art present in Ver-o-Peso. In general, the Didactic Guide achieved its objectives, in order to be a resource for teaching.
