Preschool Education Teacher, Science ActivitiesAbstract
Being a descriptive investigation, this study aims to identify the general ideas, attitudes, and expectations regarding science activities conducted by the teachers working in preschool education
organizations. The data were collected through a questionnaire made up of nine open-ended questions. The sample consisted of 50 teachers in preschool education in provincial Ankara.
The study has revealed that the teachers had difficulty in using their knowledge in science activities in practice, accessing textbooks or documents including applied examples of science activities, and developing materials to use in their science classes.
Therefore, it is suggested that teachers should be given seminars illustrating activities for science and the efforts should be directed towards increasing the number of textbooks and documents in the
field.
