Challenges of preschool teachers in the implementation of early children's curriculum

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by preschool teachers in implementing the early childhood curriculum, utilizing a fully quantitative approach to gather data. A sample of preschool teachers was selected through simple random sampling to ensure diverse representation. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS software to identify the key factors influencing curriculum implementation. The findings reveal significant challenges, including a lack of resources, insufficient training, and time constraints, which hinder effective curriculum delivery. The study underscores the need for increased support and targeted professional development for preschool teachers to enhance the quality of early childhood education. Insights from this research can help policymakers, administrators, and educators understand the obstacles within curriculum implementation and foster an environment that promotes a holistic and effective learning experience for young children. This study contributes valuable quantitative data on the barriers in preschool education, informing strategies for improved curriculum application in early childhood settings.
