Abstract

The inversion of the traditional teacher who has all knowledge to the by the reflective and questioning teacher brought positive results in education from the use of new pedagogical practices. Thus practice has helped to demystify misconceptions about the discipline History, which put it as an obsolete subject, summarized to distant dates and events, basically, a decorative course. With desire to contribute to the reconstruction of the teaching-learning process between the teacher and the student, the project in question proposes effective contact between the University ( students from the history course graduation) an the community ( basic education students from the public schools), aiming to perceive the needs for new didactics, new resources e new methodologies in order to make the student feel the object of his time. With defined time cut – Middle Ages, we sought to reflect on the cultural remains of the Middle Ages in Maranhão, with emphasises to Feast of Divine Holy Spirit in Alcântara, thus resulting, the student to transcend his look through the elaboration of didactic material about the theme, stimulating the participation of all those involved, making them socially active in the historical process.
