ABSTRACT This article brings a literature teaching mapping in pedagogy courses at 27 federal universities of this country (Brazil). It is assumed that literature is fundamental for human educational formation and therefore, must be part of the curriculum of future yearly childhood education as well as of elementary school initial levels teachers, who are responsible for the introduction of children to the literate culture. Analysis indicates that the presence, in the specific case of children’s literature in the qualification of educators, is still insufficient and vulnerable to the inside curricular structure. It is crucial to introduce literature as a means to proportionate to the teacher in their initial formal education a theoretical and practical experience about teaching with the intention of contributing to their action as a future literature mediator.

**摘要** 本研究针对巴西27所联邦大学的教育学课程构建了文学教学映射图谱。学界普遍认为，文学对于人的教育养成具有基础性作用，因此应当纳入未来幼儿教育从业者与小学低年级教师的培养课程——此类教师肩负着引导儿童接触读写文化的重要职责。分析结果显示，在教育工作者的资格培养体系中，儿童文学相关内容的占比仍显不足，且易受课程内部结构的制约。亟需在教师的初始正规教育阶段引入文学教学内容，为其提供兼具理论与实践价值的教学经验，从而助力其未来能够胜任文学教育引导者的角色。
