The article presents the results of scientific research from the United States, Germany, Norway, Russia, etc. We introduce an overview of approaches to definition of diagnostic competence of the teacher. Special attention is paid to the diagnosis of learners’ understanding of educational material. For example, the math illustrates how you can analyze children's reasoning, what you can see and understand from the students ' erroneous decisions. The discussed data show how to build math diagnostic tests that can be used by the teacher of primary school to create his/her own tests. We also introduce the different view on the diagnostics, which is described as aimed at studying and correcting students’ behavior. The case is presented as a tool for development of diagnostic competence of teachers. The described model can be used as a practical guide for building diagnostic action of the teacher in the classroom.
