Gibbs Reflective Cycle for Academic Reflective Piece.
1. Include an introduction
2. Use headings – the 6 steps of Gibbs Reflective Cyle to structure your paper. Include
required content as per rubric and suggestions below.
3. Include a conclusion
4. Read the rubric – including the broad descriptions of each section to the left of the
page and read the marking criteria for HD to PA. Make sure you include what is
required.
Describe what happened, keep focused on your description; don’t make judgements or draw
conclusions.
Feelings: What were your feelings. Keep focused on your emotions during the learning
process, don’t be tempted to analyse yet.
Evaluate: use literature – your initial feelings and reactions in order to get to the heart of
what really concerned you (positive or negative) about the experience. The rubric clearly
states in the marking criteria that evidence and examples are required.
By doing this, you should be able to identify and attend to key issue/s which will allow you to
move on to critical analysis. What was good and bad about the experience? You may use
references to support your reflection. Choose just one or two issues. Then you can move on
to develop some in-depth critical analysis rather than just ‘skim the surface’ of many.
Critical analysis: use literature – What sense did you make of the experience?
Critically analyse what was going on. Were people’s experiences similar to or
different from yours, and in what ways? What themes seem to be emerging from your
analysis? How do these compare with your previous experiences? Can you challenge any
assumptions now?
Make use of knowledge/ideas from outside your experience to develop and inform
your analysis. You must use literature to support your analysis. How do these compare with
your experience?
Conclusions: What have you learnt from reflecting on this experience? Required to link your
learning towards progress meeting Standard 4
What have you learnt about: yourself, your self-awareness, your practice? What have
you learnt that you would recommend for practice in general (i.e. social, political, cultural,
ethical issues)?
Final evaluation and action plan: What would you do differently?
SMART Goal is required as it covers….
What you would do if this type of learning situation arose again?
What steps will you take, based on what you’ve learnt, to develop your future
practice?
How will you decide if your practice has been improved?
