Phase Explanation Example in BBC (Figure 3)
Triggering the problem To instill a sense of puzzlement or dissonance Presenting a clinical case, for example, a neck of femur fracture
Exchanging information Exploring the issue by gathering and exchanging relevant information Students contribute individual knowledge to the group through written or verbal communication. They record this exchange by editing slide content, for example, drawing the vasculature of the hip

Resolving the problem Solving the problem by applying and testing the ideas Applying learning to interpret other cases of neck of femur fractures
