INTRODUCTION
Continuing professional development refers to an ongoing process of maintaining,
documenting and developing the professional skills. These are the skills that can be gained
through courses and training formally or informally (Gratton and Gratton, 2020). The purpose of
this development process is to ensure that an individual enhances their abilities and skills once
formally qualifies. In other words it refers to the procedure of tracing the knowledge and skills
that an individual gained from their experiences. This report shows the reflective model of Gibbs
that is applied to the my learning experience of the module. The report shows the evaluation and
analysis of my experience.
Gibbs Reflective Cycle
It is famous cyclical model of reflection that has six stages that are used to describe an particular
experience such as description, feeling, evaluation, analysis and conclusion (Hawley and
Tuckett, 2020). In order to reflect things that I have learned from module, Gibbs reflective cycle
has been used for better understanding what has been learned during the course. Such as:
 Description: It is description related to things, skilled, knowledge that I have learned
during attending class in order to get better employment opportunities and higher growth
and success in future scenario (Hussein, 2018). It describes the things that are taught by
our lecturer so that we can get higher grades ad good employment opportunities in near
future. Such as the module has helped me in learning numerous skills that are contribute
in achievement of employability and study skills (Adeani, Febriani and Syafryadin,
2020). Likewise, it helps in improving my communication skills- both verbal and written
which is essential for all individuals. As student must have good communication skills in
order to share their perspective, idea and point of view with other students. During the
class and through module, we have also learned about the manner in which research
related to particular topic need to be done in order to extract more and more crucial
information. Furthermore, it has also helped in learning team working and time
management skills that are very important for individuals to get job. As in recent
scenario, employer wants to recruit employees that have multiple skills, ability to work in
team and mange time so that no delay in delivering services to customers. Therefore,
overall the module and class has helped me in improving my skills, knowledge for bright
future ahead in both personal and professional career.
