Journal Title: IMPACT : International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature ( IMPACT : IJRHAL ) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Dyscalculia refers to Inability of a child to acquire arithmetical skills. This is a less known disability as most parents and teachers remain unaware of this problem and they overlook it. Often parents and teachers blame each other for the problem. Parents accuse the teachers of wrong teaching practices and teachers accuse parents of not taking interest in the child. The earlier this disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school & in life. Since very less tests are available to identify Dyscalculic students at primary level, therefore the investigator decided to construct and standardize a test to identify Dyscalculic students. The Dyscalculia Identification Test (DIT) contains 50 objective type questions to test the basic mathematical skills of elementary students. Time duration of this test was fixed as 75 minutes.
