This article analyzes important aspects that structure the mentalities of división between intellectual and non-intellectual activity; it interpreta teachers as operators and technicians who execute the ideas of a group of intellectuals. In the development, it approaches some factors that influence the reduced capacity to write, such as the methods of lecto-writing, the disciplinarían approach of the subjects or educational unlts and the adininistrative structure and education management directed by the central government, strengthener of the traditional división between the intellectuals and the teachers, operating and technical teachers. In thls sense, the productive socio- communltarian model foresees the new role of teachers as intellectuals in education, and the Superior Schools of Teacher Formation as spaces of construction of the decolonizing pedagogy and, therefore, as a pedagogy of the transformative critical writing in relation the re-writing of the history of the towns and nations, the history of the education and our own pedagogy.

Keywords : Reading and writing; teacher formation; intellectual teachers of education; pedagogy of writing.
