Gracias, Carmen.

the presentation of dilemmas

Or, the "posing" of dilemmas

The idea here being that dilemmas will be posed to the students in order to generate discussion.

Suerte.

Gracias, Juan.
disagree Giovanni Rengifo : "dilemma" is not the same as "problema". Un problema is "a problem"

Except that nobody would ever say "the posing of problems" in the present teaching context and the phrase "problem postulation" would certainly never be used to describe a teaching strategy, except within the area of mathematics.

Thank you for your kind support!
disagree Giovanni Rengifo : "approach" means "enfoque", and "identifying a problem" is not the same as "plantearlo".

problem postulation

First you "postulate" a problem, then you work on it to solve it.
A problem is not the same as a "dilemma".
Note from asker:
Giovanni, thank you for your suggestion. Although I agree with you, I think that for the purposes of the document I'm working on, brainstorming is the better option. Thanks again.
