Experiências de elaboração de um guia didático para a feira do ver-o-peso

Abstract

We propose in this paper to present the relevant aspects of our experience in the formulation the didactic guide "Ver-o-Peso Fair: a non-formal and interdisciplinary local for education". In the construction of the guide, we aimed to capture the multiple aspects of the fair, a non-formal space and not institutionalized education, to carry the process of teaching and learning in visitation to the local. This process took place in the context of a participatory research, precisely in a collaborative procedure with teachers and students of a basic education school. We justify our enterprise from three points: (1) the importance of the fair as a knowledge space, with its historical and cultural wealth, social diversity and economic; (2) lack of studies and/or proposals in the educational area, for the Ver-o-Peso fair; (3) the need to set up a didactic guide, in the apprehension of the multiple aspects of the local, in an effort to assist teachers in their teaching do. In general, the didactic guide achieved the proposed objectives, in order to be a resource for teaching and reveal the fair Ver-o-Peso as a knowledge space. Keywords: Non-formal education space. Local of knowledge. Interdisciplinarity.
