This article reports on research conducted with the aim of studying the ability of interpretation of graphs kinematics. To achieve the objective, we use the method of action research, on the basis of which it was designed, implemented and evaluated, a sequence of learning oriented approach under the development of thinking and variational language. The actions for the interpretation of graphs studied were of two types: local and global. The first focused on extracting specific data speed and acceleration, the latter refers to the overall behavior of the graphs of these functions and their relationships with each other. The results were assessed by pre-post method, comparing their performances at the beginning and end of the application of the learning sequence. The results indicate that the students are able to interpret the local properties of graphs not its global properties, furthermore the preference of students was noted for using formulas functions or their derivatives rather than the variational information underlying in graphs to interpret their behavior.

Keywords : Interpretation; Kinematics Graphs; Variational Thinking; Pre-post Method; Mathematics Education.
