Students learn diagnostic competence in how to deal with psychometric test procedures and can apply different types of psychological-diagnostic procedures in the assessment of arithmetic difficulties/dyscalculia and know their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, they acquire practical knowledge of the specific applications of these procedures in a clinical context. We also address their critical assessment as well as the integration of the results into specific intervention methods and therapy planning.

- Knowledge and skills of planning and applying diagnostic procedures for the assessment of dyscalculia

- insight into language and interaction in the diagnostic process (child, parents, teacher)

- diagnostic procedure and diagnostic criteria (incl. examples)

- different methods for the assessment of arithmetic difficulties/dyscalculia (e.g. HRT 1-4, BASIS MATH 4-8, ERT, DIRG, ZAREKI-R)

- practice with selected procedures (implementation, recording, evaluation, interpretation, intervention options) (self-awareness and case studies)

- Insight into intervention options

- Discussion and critical reflection of the presented procedures

The acquisition of knowledge takes place in a practical way on the basis of case studies, self-awareness and the integration of current specialist literature. A multimodal approach is used as a teaching method, which consists of short theoretical inputs, practical implementations, group work, case studies, discussions, independent work on specific topics under supervision, etc.
