Assessment 2: Reflective Account
Gibb’s Reflective Cycle
The Gibb’s reflective cycle was developed in the year 1988 by Graham Gibbs and offers a
framework that can be used to examine experiences (Gibbs' reflective cycle, 2020). The experiences can
either be an individual experience or associated with a group. The model involves six different stages and
encourages people to think about and analyze their experiences in a systematic manner. The different
stages of reflective cycle are explained below –
Description
We were asked to work on a project titled, “Impact of digital marketing on businesses throughout
the world”. The project involved creating a poster presentation on the given topic. We were provided with
notes for 12 consecutive weeks, wherein each week we learnt about different sections that had to be
included in the poster. In order to complete the project, my tutor provided notes for 12 weeks regarding
the different topics that had to be included in the same (Ahmed, 2020). During the first week, we learnt
how to write an authentic and interesting research introduction. The introduction is one of the most
important components of any project as it outlines the major topics that have been discussed in the same.
In order to write a research introduction that is interesting, one should have a complete understanding of
the topic that the project is going to be based on. In the next week, i.e., Week 2, we learned how to
identify a research problem. Through the notes provided on research problem, I learned that it is a
statement that outlines a particular condition or difficulty tat has to be eliminated. We were given enough
time to write a research introduction as well as identify a research problem.
Feelings
Before we can for the class the following week, we realized that we had a lot of work to do on the
project. I was a little nervous as I was not sure if I’d written the introduction as well as research problem
in an appropriate manner (Arumugam and et. al., 2017). I felt that I had put in my best efforts to write
both the sections in as effective way possible so I had some motivation that I would not have to rewrite it
again. This made me feel confident and I was excited to learn what the tutor was too teach in the class.
This was Week 3, during which we learned about developing aims, objectives as well as a hypothesis.
The tutor spent one whole week to enable us to understand the importance of the same and frame the
same in an effective way. During the next week, i.e., Week 4, we were taught how to write the literature
review section.
