INTRODUCTION
Healthcare professionals are the individuals who provide health related treatments and
advice based on their formal training experience (Robertson, et al., 2016). These professionals
advise to use preventive measures and also promote health with suitable goal of meeting the
health requirements and Expectations of individuals in order to improve the help outcomes of
population (Smith, et al., 2017).This report is based on the deep understanding of the role that
reflection plays in developing good practices. For this, reflection of an incident is presented,
along with identification and discussion of two theories of reflection, along with explanation of
their role in reflective practice. In addition to this, the report undertakes identification of
significant incident from group work over the course of semester. Furthermore, application of
reflective model within critical incident analysis, as well as action plan is also performed during
the report.
TASK 1
Identify and discuss two reflective models and also explain their roles to develop reflective
practices
Reflection refers to an essential practice which is related towards evaluation of past
experiences which is necessary to shape up future growth and prosperity in academic, as well as
professional career. The purpose of reflection is to identify the positive, as well as negative
elements within the past processes or activities, which allows in determination of one’s strengths
and weaknesses. This analysis further allows individuals to ensure that they plan future actions
which ensure enhancements in the weaker aspects, as well as improvement in the existing
competencies, so that professional expertise could be gained effectively (Papadopoulos and Ali,
2016). In order to carry forward this report, two prominent reflective models are used such as
Kolb’s learning cycle and Gibbs reflective cycle as both of them are useful in learning through to
experience and getting new insight of self and practice. Both reflective cycles are the systematic
review procedure for all the individuals that allows them to create link from one experience to
another one and also and sure that their learners gain maximum progress (Spinelli, Wisener and
Khoury, 2019). In relation with this, both of these theories and models are explored below:
