Abstract:
In this article we present an investigation conducted with students of the Athens University of Economics and Business, aiming at the study of students' understanding of mathematical and geographical terms, which appear in Jules Vern's novel “Around the World in 80 days", as well as their cognitive behaviour and perception of the role of mathematics in the scientific issues raised in that novel. The particular novel was selected during the course of Pedagogy, in order that students organise the teaching of a scientific theme through literature in a primary school classroom. We inferred, with the help of a relevant questionnaire, that rigidity of the cultural context of "calendar" (and a "calendar-wise" perception of the units of time, as e.g. the notion of the "day") prevents students from assimilating the cognitive content of the text. Moreover, a number of interviews showed that students have a stereotyped representation of mathematics, identified only with equations, symbols and variables.
