    Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1988)

    The aims of using Gibbs’ reflective cycle:


    • To challenge your assumptions
    • To explore different/new ideas and approaches towards doing or
    thinking about things
    • To promote self-improvement (by identifying strengths and
    weaknesses and taking action to address them)
    • To link practice and theory (by combining ‘doing or observing with
    thinking or applying’ knowledge)

    ACTIVITY :

    1. Think of an instance you observed this week that could have been
    approached differently (something that made an impact on you and
    that you are prepared to share)

    2. Using Gibbs Reflective Cycle (as above) REFLECT on how you


    would do things differently if confronted again with a similar
    situation in the future.
    3. Complete the following table with your reflections and thoughts

    Description What happened?

    Feelings What was I thinking and feeling at the time?

    Evaluation What was good or bad about the experience?

    Analysis What sense can I make of the situation? What does it mean for me?

    Conclusion What else could I have done?

    Action Plan If it arose again what would I do?

    4. Think about the following:


    a. How valuable was the reflective tool in identifying any strengths
    and weaknesses and perhaps identifying different ways of
    addressing the incident?’
    b. Was Gibbs’ model easy to use?
    c. Do you have a greater understanding of reflective thinking and of
    using a reflective learning model like Gibbs’ model?
