1.0 Introduction
Reflection provides a critical analysis of self, hence allowing understanding relevant learning
(Neck et al., 2010). Thereby it allows designing steps to improve any areas of lag by developing
a suitable plan of action. The current scope of reflection analysis encompasses a residential tour
organised by my university. All students were divided into two teams our group company was
called Rope and the other group was called Barrel. We were asked to go through several steps
required to build a jetty, but due to several reasons our group could not complete the procedure
and ended up joining with the other group (Wellington, 2012). This was a task so simple yet so
hard because of the prevailing circumstances. When making the jetty, we had a lot of
disagreements, infighting, lack of focus, time wastage, lack of effective leadership and many
more things that made the task a little bit hard to accomplish within the given period of time.
There were not clear roles on who should do what and therefore we wasted a lot of time by not
delegating smaller tasks to achieve our main objective (Nesbit, 2012). The scope of this
reflective cycle includes analysis my learning from this incidence and a plan for action in order
to overcome any gaps in learning. In the current scope of self-reflection Gibbs learning cycle has
been taken into consideration.
2.0 Analysis
Self-reflection is a necessary aspect in understanding learning that has happened from a specific
tasks or activity. The activity during the residential tour of building the jetty was considered to
realize applicability of various classroom learning related to leadership, teamwork, groups and
social interactions and so on (Wellington, 2012). When building a jetty, all of us were very

excited with this prospect. Most of us who have never had such an experience wondered how we
would make a jetty from scratch. Specifically remember one of the team members emphasizing
on the importance of team work and application of leadership skills to be able to complete the
project within appropriate time frame. The below figure of Gibbs reflective learning cycle
demonstrates a process that needs to be followed for learning to occur from a process.
