The aim of the present essay is to study a model of reflection and reflective learning to
determine the importance of reflection on feedback and feed forward. Reflective learning is a
method that makes a student learn by reflecting upon one’s own ideas. It is a more conscious
approach towards learning (Adeani, Febriani and Syafryadin, 2020). Feedback is defined as
assessing the current performance. It provides information about the areas where a person
performed well as well as those areas which were weak. Feed forward is defined as provision of
constructive guidance about the future assessments. The present essay will focus on the use of
Gibbs reflective model. It will also provide description about approach to feedback and feed-

feed-forward inform and improve formative and summative assessments.

By referring to Gibbs Reflective model, I want to specify some points as it has been concluded
