Some PAUD teachers already have competence in line with the standards and professional code of ethics of teachers, and some others experience problems in carrying out their main duties, functions and responsibilities as professional teachers. The general objective, apart from mapping the problems of teacher competence, is also to analyze the reasons for the problems among PAUD teachers. While the specific purpose of analyzing; (1) the problem of pedagogic competence; (2) personality competence problems; (3) the problem of professional competence; and (4) the problem of social competence. Using descriptive qualitative methods to explore primary data and secondary data. The results showed: (1) there are still some PAUD teachers who have not met the pedagogic competency standards optimally; (2) there are still some PAUD teachers who have not met the personality competency standards optimally; (3) there are still PAUD teachers who have not met professional competency standards optimally; and (4) there are still some PAUD teachers who do not have optimal social competence standards. This paper can be concluded that there has been a problem of teacher competence among PAUD teachers due to the limited ability of teachers to carry out their main tasks, functions and responsibilities in carrying out their obligations and rights in learning. So that this paper can suggest, further research is needed by paying attention to comparative aspects of regionalism based on varied data, so that more accurate policies can be formulated in overcoming competency problems among PAUD teachers.Keywords: Problematics, Competence, Among PAUD Teachers, in Indonesia Abstrak: Kompetensi guru di Indonesia telah menciptakan problematika di kalangan guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD).
