Resumo: Having in consideration that science and mathematics can be articulated through children’s literature, this study, focused on future preschool educators, aims describe how future preschool educators’ use children's literature to create mathematical and science tasks and to analyze how future educators mobilize pedagogical content knowledge to build those learning tasks. Future educators, divided into groups, were asked to select a book from a list provided to them and to designed science and mathematics task. Results suggest that they had difficulties in designing the tasks and that many of them were closed-ended and based on behaviorist theories of education. However, there were some exceptions.

Les futurs éducateurs, divisés en groupes, ont été invités à choisir un livre dans une liste qui leur avait été fournie et à concevoir des tâches en sciences et en mathématiques. Les résultats suggèrent qu'ils ont eu des difficultés à concevoir les tâches et que beaucoup d'entre elles restaient sur des théories behavioristes de l'éducation. Cependant, il y a eu quelques exceptions !Portuguese national funds through the FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology) within the framework of the CIEC (Research Center for Child Studies of the University of Minho) project under the reference UIDB/00317/2020.
