The Reflective Cycle Gibbs (1988)
  • Identify – An example, incident, situation or experience that you would like to explore further in relation to your work other area of your life that impacts on how well you perform
  • Explore feelings – Think about your feelings at the time and since
  • Describe – Examine the key facts, issues and events at the time of the incident or example you have identified and articulate your thoughts
  • Analyse – Consider the impact of the situation on your own practice and on others around you, what assumptions have you made about the impact of the example you describe
  • Evaluate – What you have gained from the experience? What was good and less good about the outcomes? How relevant and useful is the knowledge you have gained as a result of the experience?
  • Learn – What have you learnt? How could you have done it differently? If you found yourself in the same situation what would you do differently?
