Even though there are several studies that show both the difficulties which students from all levels have to write their texts and the attempts to change this situation, the problem has persisted. Therefore, based on this context, this study aimed at evaluating whether a pedagogical intervention with Pedagogy students taking their teaching degree at the Universidade Federal de Pelotas, in Pelotas, RS, Brazil led to learning and the development of their awareness raising strategies and of their capacity to control their written production while triggering the use of superior psychological functions in this process. The intervention was supported by the Cultural-historical approach in Psychology and by Textual Linguistics. The pedagogical intervention was carried out in the light of interpsychological processes (Vygotski, 1998) and of the process approach to the study of texts. Five out of seventeen students who took part in this study composed the corpus of this qualitative research. They were interviewed at the beginning of the semester, when the pedagogical intervention was implemented; then, a selection process was carried out. The evaluation of the intervention was conducted after the students wrote ten texts (abstracts), answered a questionnaire (after the intervention) and took part in interviews, both before and after the intervention. Results showed that the pedagogical intervention not only triggered students awareness regarding the elements that are needed to produce well-written texts but also developed the control of such aspects. Findings also revealed that writing practices developed in the pedagogical intervention potentialized the use of superior psychological functions. Therefore, the results of this study imply that the teaching of written text production, mediated by interpsychological processes and the process approach to the study of texts, enables students to become more proficient writers.
