Gibbs Model reflection:
Gibbs model is one of reflective model that was introduced in the year 1988 by Graham Gibbs
that provide structure of learning from experience. It is a framework that allow a person to
examine experience and learn and plan from things which went well or not well (Lahiri,

evaluation, conclusion, analysis, feeling and others. It is a model that provide good basis to work
through experience. It is a standalone experience as well as situation through which a person
goes through in order to collaborate with team. Explanation of different stages in my experience
of attending universities that assist me to development of various employability as well as study
skills are mentioned below:

also to build good career opportunity. In University, I take classes on daily basis that helps me to

good skills in me. In the end, I get good grades in University and also get placed in a well known
company.

things and also make new friends but at same time, I also get nervous as I needs to meet new
people. But during the session, I get opportunity to make new friends and also to meet teachers
