Wise knowledge of Historiography as idiographic-hermeneutic social science and didactic knowledge organized from pedagogy are juxtaposed. For this reason, we created a qualitative research design from instrumental studies of cases with the purpose of describing the process of didactic transposition and didactic knowledge of disciplinary content of History teaching in vulnerable high schools from Araucania Region in the South of Chile. The theoretical and methodological approaches used were: The Constant Comparative Method (CCM) and the Methodological Triangulation of Techniques (MTT). The sampling was constituted by teachers who teach History in High Schools. The data analysis was developed through open coding from which emerged five categories: a) Difficulties in teaching practice, b) material and human resources, c) planning and evaluation strategies, d) teaching-learning strategies, e) requirements and characteristics.
