The
didactic transposition transform disciplinary contents to define the curricula
of the corresponding disciplines "of school", through a process with
a sequence of almost linear knowledges logically and epistemologically
organized in the written text of the programs and textbooks. In this paper,
after analyzing the concept from the point of view of the Chevellard’s studies
conducted about it, the author who first coined the term, we focus on the
developments that the didactic transposition had in Italy in recent years.
