INTRODUCTION
Reflective learning has been determined as the concept that allows learners to critically
analyse their learning. The concept of reflective learning enables students in terms of developing
the critical thinking skills. Also, it guides learners in context of making improvements in the
required skills. The reflective approach to feedback and feedforward helps students in order to
know about their current status and guides them to make further improvements that are needed in
order to enhance the learning (Dahl, Peltier and Schibrowsky, 2018). Effective reflective
approach creates opportunities for learners in regards to performing in efficient manner in the
future formative and summative assessment.
The present essay will shed a light over the importance of reflective learning for students.
Furthermore, the essay will describe the reflective approach towards the feedback and
feedforwards that helps in improving the future formative and summative assessment. The
reflection in context of learning will be done within using the Gibb’s model of reflection.
MAIN BODY
Reflective approach to learning within using reflective model
Reflective approach to learning is being proven highly beneficial in terms of enhancing my
learning abilities. Also, it helps in knowing the potential strengths and weaknesses that leads to
develop the critical thinking in students (Hägg, 2021). The Gibb’s model of reflection has been
determined as one of the effective model of reflection which is effective in performing the
reflection. It mainly consists of the six stages and those are- description, feelings, evaluation,
analysis, conclusion and action plan. Thus within using this reflective model reflective learning
can be performed in efficient manner. The first stage leads to enable in describing the experience
of learning. For instance, it helps in expressing the learning experience which has been
experienced in the class (Adeani, Febriani and Syafryadin, 2020). Thus, in regards to my
learning I have got effective support from my tutor. The feelings that I has during the whole
session was mixture of positive and negative feelings at some point I felt that I have effective
confidence and another point I felt that I have ineffective abilities of learning.
