The study looked at early childhood education teachers’ views on teaching science in China using the Preschool-Teachers’ Attitudes and Beliefs toward Science Teaching (P-TABS) instrument. A total of 245 teachers from 60 preschools in Guangdong province in China, selected through a stratified random sampling approach, participated in the current study. The instrument was validated and results were analyzed using the Rasch model. Results revealed that although the sampled teachers support child-centered learning, early childhood education teachers are somewhat uncomfortable in planning science activities that are engaging of preschoolers. The teachers report low confidence in their ability as science teachers and perceived themselves to have inadequate science knowledge. They noted a number of challenges associated with the teaching of science including the overloaded teaching commitments and the lack of resources for use in science activities.

Teachers are not only required to master the fields of science, teaching materials, and methods, but also must be able to motivate students to have skills, be creative and have broad insights. This relates to the potential that exists in the community that has not been carried out optimally, so it requires the involvement of other parties in this case universities to provide counseling and training to the community. Therefore, there was a training and counseling activity for kindergarten and TPA teachers located at the At-Taqwa Mosque.
