Construct operate of Pedagogy of Alterity

This article does not focus on the philosophical-anthropological aspect of the Pedagogy of Alterity, which is based on the ideas of Lévinas, Horkheimer, Adorno and Pedro Ortega. Nor does it aim to add theoretical elements to said construct. It presents a categorial model built using the ideas that form the construct as a foundation. The importance of this contribution lies on the fact that the categorial model allows making operational the discourse elements, so that they can be used in the construction of instruments in empirical studies. The model is formed by a meta-category or main variable, which is the pedagogy of alterity, and four categories: professor profile, student profile, function of the school and function of the family, with their characteristics and indicators, which are the elements used to design data collection instruments.
