This study is about primary school students' perception of heterogeneity and how itmanifests like in grade 1-3. This research focuses on the students' views instead of theteacher's as it was very interesting to know especially amongst the young ones. As wewere interviewing children, we used the term “different” rather than “heterogeneity” inthis context. By interviewing eight pupils and doing an exercise with pupils from fourdifferent schools, clear patterns emerged regarding how the pupils think aboutdifference, as well as how these perceptions differ across different grades. Thecurriculum of the socially oriented subjects for grades 1-3, emphasize the importancethat pupils should be able to discuss and reflect on life issues with significance for thepupils such as gender roles, norms and rules in their school environment which isassociated with heterogeneity. The result of this study shows that the pupils' perceptionof heterogeneity primarily focuses on appearance and gender, which is clearly visiblewith the help of the interviews and an exercise that was conducted with them.
