This study is based on a survey answered by 124 pupils in grade 3. By analyzing the pupils’experiences and opinions, about the teaching methods used in Social studies, the goal was tomake their views of the methods visible. The pupils answered questions about their entire timethey have spent in Swedish primary school. Our conclusion was that the pupils have differentopinions about what methods they use and what methods they wanted to use. The pupils hadsome frequently used teaching methods in common, for example listening to the teacher,movies, reading etc. But it turned out that the pupils from the different schools had differentopinions about what teaching methods they wanted to use more frequently. Some otherconclusions that have emerged are influenced by pupils’ interest for the subject andsociocultural context. Overall, pupils who participated in this study wanted a variety of teachingmethods. Our study did show that the pupils, surprisingly, didn’t necessarily wanted more of orthought they learnt more of the methods they thought was fun. They wanted to use methodsthey consider fun but they also wanted to use other methods, like listening to the teacher.
