INTRODUCTION
The reflective learning is the process of learning from observation and past experiences.
This is the part of active learning which uses the conscious, self analysis and awareness. The
main aim of the reflective learning is to enhance the ability of learner as well as increase their
thinking ability to combat with any difficult situations. The reflective learning process is very
important because it includes the meta-cognition process (Santos-Trigo, Reyes-Martínez and
Gómez-Arciga, 2022). The meta- cognition process develop the ability to apply the learned
knowledge in the new context as well as increase the awareness of the learners and help them to
distinguish between the knowledge which should be helpful and which one is bolster (Dahl,
Peltier, and Schibrowsky, 2018). The given essay has included the different approaches of
reflective learning and their benefits in the future. For better understanding the reflection and
reflective approach of learning the essay has focused on the Gibbs model of reflection (Travers,
2022). The reflective approach of feedback describes the current performance by providing the
grade, while the feed forward is the process which provides the constructive guidance for the
betterment with future oriented solutions (Patil and et.al., 2020).
MAIN BODY
The reflective learning is the way to understand the situations or topics by critically
analysing the event and situations from the experiences of the past incidents. This process of
learning is very helpful for the students because it develop the self awareness and increase the
ability of deep learning process (Fessl Wesiak, and Pammer-Schindler, 2018). The reflective
approach includes the analysis of the situations and develop the action to figure out the
problems. The reflective approach enhance the thinking ability of person to understand and see
the situations from different point of views. The Gibbs' model is very important in reflective
learning and understanding the different approaches of reflective learning. The Gibbs 's model of
reflection was developed by Graham Gibbs in 1988 and provides the basic structure of learning
from the experiences. The Gibbs' model has six stages and these all stages help in the reflection
process of learning (Kenning, 2019). The first stage of Gibbs' model is description and it
describes the situations in details and this stage improves the learning approach of learners by
better understanding of situations (Lonca, Schams, and Liang, 2021). The better understanding
increase the thinking power and analysing power of learner and ultimately improves the better
