The reflective model has 6 stages: a) Description, b) Feelings, c) Evaluation, d) analysis, e) conclusion, and f) action plan. Each step informs the next. Students sometimes confuse the Evaluation stage with the Analysis and Conclusion stage. Questions related to these stages (GIbbs Question Guide.pdf

) can look similar and/or repetitive, but they are important to reflection on individually. The remaining five steps contain description statements, value statements (good or bad), summation statements, or justification statements (why something was done).
Writing your paper based on Gibbs reflective cycle will a) challenge your assumptions, b) explore different/new ideas and approaches, c) promote self-improvement by identifying strengths and weaknesses, including actions to address them, d) to link practice and theory by observing actions and applying knowledge.
