    Reflective Cycle of Gibbs: 1. Description

    Uploaded by

    Taxiarhis Miltos
    The Gibbs reflective cycle model provides a structured process for reflecting on experiences. It involves 6 stages: description of the situation, identification of emotions, evaluation of what happened, analysis of assumptions and thoughts, drawing conclusions on how it could have been handled differently, and creating an action plan for similar future situations. Published in 1988, the Gibbs model encourages a clear and objective examination of experiences to improve understanding and develop plans for handling things better in the future. It has been widely used across academic and professional contexts as an effective way to analyze experiences through practical learning.

    Reflective Cycle of Gibbs

    In 1988, Graham Gibbs, the model of the American Socio-Psychologist's reflective cycle, was
    published in his book Learning by Doing. The Gibbs reflection cycle encourages a clear
    description of the situation, an analysis of emotions, an assessment of the experience, analysis
    to rationalize the experience, conclusions where other options are taken into account, and
    reflection on the experience to examine what should be done if the situation arises again. It
    becomes clear that the reflective cycle of Gibbs is structured in phases and sections. The Gibbs
    Reflective Circle provides an opportunity to examine an experience or situation more accurately
    while helping to create knowledge about personal behaviors, actions and reactions. Finally,
    through the reflexive cycle, the individual can come into contact with emotions he did not know
    and planned a future action plan (Gibbs, 1988).

    The Gibbs reflection cycle begins with the concept of description and goes on to list emotions,
    evaluate, analyze, draw conclusions and come up with an action plan. (Gibbs, 1988).

    1. Description

    At this stage, a more detailed description of the incident/experience is given. No conclusions


    are drawn. The focus is on recording what goes up, how, when, where, with whom else, what
    reactions there were and so on. By recording it, one can create a background for a deeper
    understanding of the experience.

    2. Emotions

    In this phase, the emotions created during the event/experience are recorded. The appropriate
    questions that need to be answered are how did I feel, how did I feel with the experience, how
    did I feel before and how, after the experience? How did those who were with me feel?

    3. Evaluation

    At this stage, what happened is evaluated, as objectively as possible. What is recorded, and
    what did not happen, what were the damaging elements and what were the positive elements
    of the situation? How did the person contribute to the whole process?

    4. Analysis
    Here are the thoughts and assumptions about what could be done to avoid the situation or to
    improve the situation. Usually, improvements are provided here based on previous experience.

    5. Conclusions

    At this stage, conclusions are drawn about the experience/situation. It examines what could
    have been done differently in this situation. Conclusions are also drawn as to which skills would
    be useful in managing the event in the future.

    6. Action Plan

    Finally, at this final stage, a future action plan is drawn upon how the individual will handle a
    similar situation in the future. Action plans for cultivating skills can also be mentioned, which
    will help to better deal with the event in the future.

    The Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle model has been and can be used in a variety of situations and
    by people at different levels (academic, professional, etc.), as it is effective in analyzing and
    evaluating experience. Finally, through the Gibbs reflective cycle, the individual improves and
    understands through practical learning.
