The present paper was developed by making use of some theoretical contributions by Tomás de Aquino, in order to understand his conceptions, concerning reasoning and intellect, as well as to be aware of the role played by reasoning and intellect aspects in the medieval period. Thus, it is necessary to reflect upon the influence played by Church and by Christian philosophy on the constitution of medieval society. Within such a context, the relationship between reason-subjectivity in Aquino's thought is emphasized. Thus, based on both, the theoretical contributions by Deleuze and Guattari (1996), and on the conceptualizations about the significance of intellect in the human constitution, it is made a brief conceptualization about subjectivity. Tomás de Aquino conceives the human reasoning as the subject's power for acting when in search for knowledge, a fact that makes possible a counterpoint with the concept of instrumental reasoning, established by Adorno and Horkheimer (1985), whose peculiarity or singularization is understood as a possibility for developing the intellectual power of human being, as well as a possibility of constituting more conscious subjectivities in contemporary society.

This paper presents data from Writing and grammar teaching: a new look at an old problem (State University of Londrina, Brazil), a research project of procedural and ethnographic basis that describes the diagnostic process and discusses a proposal for intervention in the pedagogic approach of teachers in the latter grades of middle school about approaching discursive genre/opinion article. Thus, we approach the diagnosis accomplished in four middle-school grades, in public schools in the cities of Londrina and Maringá, State of Paraná, Brazil. The data analyzed constituted the trigger element of the intervention process: the contextualization of grammar teaching to the practices of reading and writing/rewriting, taking into account the needs and/or difficulties of Portuguese language teachers and the language conception(s) that -- consciously or unconsciously -- they seem to hold.

The easiness by which we use language to communicate with others and to interpret what others say leads us to believe that language is transparent and of immediate comprehension. Linguistic studies, however, show that such transparency is illusory since the mother language is rife with indeterminations, ambiguities and dual meanings. Such reflections become even more important when we consider the classroom and the interactions that take place through language. This is because in school communication, the differences between the subjects involved, as long as mother language and specific knowledge are concerned, are part and parcel of every day situations. Therefore, it is important for the Math teacher to listen to the students and leave them at ease to expound their doubts and formulate their questions. Grounded on the results of research in mathematical education field, the objective of this paper is to discuss whether the communication which takes place in the classroom between the subjects in the educational process by means of language favors or not the building of mathematical knowledge by the students.

This paper is grounded on a wide bibliographical research with a view to the elaboration of a didactic text for the development of teachers on the different learning theories and their implications in mathematics education. Among the different theories studied, the focus here is on the theories which analyze the processes of development and learning considering the subject as cognitively active. They are Piaget's Genetic Psychology, Vygotsky's Sociohistorical Psychology, and the Multiple-Intelligence theory by the North American theorist Howard Gardner and their implications in the teaching of Mathematics.
