description This article reports the findings of a qualitative study done within the Mathematics field focused on the development of the variational thinking in ninth grade students (14 to 17 years old) through the use of didactic sequences for this purpose and mediated through ICT. This research was carried out in three phases: First, an initial diagnosis that aimed to identify the level of pre-knowledge in arithmetic and variational thinking based on the indicators established in the knowledge test. Then, an intervention was made by designing didactic sequences which were adapted to the institutional mathematics curriculum, including learning activities towards the analysis of some variation and change cases. Lastly, a final diagnosis evaluated the level reached by the group of students. The analysis of the results allows us to conclude that the intervention generated meaningful changes within the group of participants related to their variational thinking.

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa en el área de matemáticas, en la cual se trató el desarrollo del pensamiento variacional en estudiantes de noveno grado, 14 a 17 años, usando para tal fin secuencias didácticas diseñadas para el estudio y mediadas con TIC. El estudio contempló tres etapas: un diagnóstico inicial que permitió identificar el nivel de presaberes en aritmética y en pensamiento variacional, basado en los indicadores definidos en las pruebas saber; una intervención con las secuencias didácticas diseñadas, las cuales se ajustaron al plan de área institucional y orientando algunas actividades de aprendizaje al análisis de situaciones de variación y cambio; un diagnóstico final que evaluó el nivel alcanzado por el grupo de estudiantes participantes. El análisis de los resultados permite sugerir que la intervención generó cambios significativos en el grupo de estudiantes en lo relacionado al pensamiento variacional.
