Abstract

In this paper our aim is to analyze and discuss some of the problems that Higher Education Institutions are facing with the change in the profile of students who reach this level of education. In this context issues related to the implementation of several professional knowledge areas (conceptual, pedagogical and technological) acquire a new dimension due to the need of transpose them into online learning environments. This starting point is a deep understanding from the analysis of three theoretical perspectives: digital natives and social and cultural settings, models of didactic transposition, and education for sustainable development. The last one was selected as a model to exemplify. Thus, it is our goal in this article to discuss a first draft of a didactic transposition model adapted to eLearning that answers the needs of this specific public.
