In this article, Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory is used to examine the thematization of the derivative Schema and the role played by the equilibration mechanisms evidenced by some advanced students while facing tasks designed to confront the equilibrium of their Schemas and obtain thematization evidence. This investigation contributes to the study of Schema thematization by focusing on the mechanisms involved when students need to perform Action on their derivative Schema. Results show evidences on the role that accommodation and assimilation mechanisms play in students’ strategies when they re-equilibrate their Schema and evidence its thematization Which has not received previous attention.
