INTRODUCTION
The current report is based on experience developed by me while working on the topic
“Can money buy you happiness”. This topic was chosen for the academic purpose as it will
support me scoring higher grades in the respective subject. This report will also explore about
learning of individual that associated with the work. It will effectively identify core weak areas
of individual and its strengths that helps them in executing their work in rightful manner (Balan,
2019). In order to express overall experience of individual related to the work, Gibbs reflective
framework will going to be used. The main reason behind choosing this framework is that it
consist of 5 several stages that allows individual in expressing their feelings effectively by going
to these stages one by one. This framework is helpful for individual in exploring their own
experience in deep manner so that they can analyse what they have developed from this
experience. It explores about their key learning area and core weaknesses that places impact on
their performance in negative manner.
REFLECTION
Reflection is identified as an effective practice which allows individual in consciously
analysing their own experience in order to analyse their learning, actions, feelings, responses,
their respective interpretations so that learning developed from the same experience can be
determined (Bass and et. al., 2019). There are numerous of reflective framework and models that
are adopted by individuals in order to express their feelings in best possible manner. The most
popular framework among them are Gibbs reflective cycle and Kolb's learning theory. Both of
these, frameworks are determined as the best one which allows individuals developing their
awareness about themselves including learning areas (Fathelrahman, 2019). In context of my
experience related to my academic life, I have adopted Gibbs reflective cycle in order to deeply
evaluate my overall experience. Gibbs reflective model was developed Graham Gibbs in the year
1988. The respective framework is also seen as the systematic cycle which included numerous of
stages or phases associated with the experience (Jack and Illingworth, 2019). All of these stages
are described below one after another in detailed manner:
