INTRODUCTION
The reflective learning is learning from the past events and experiences for deep learning in
the future and changes for the improvement in the future for more efficiency in particular skill
that need improvement (Colomer, 2020). It is the individual who examines its experiences by
looking at the past positive and negative experiences for any changes needed for further
development. Reflective approach brings out the feedback and feed forwarding and improves the
future performances. Through this approach peer observation can brings out the feedbacks from
which an individual can know its performances and mistakes. This report will include reflection
and reflective approach to learning using relevant model of reflection. Furthermore, it will
include the nature of feedback and feed forward and use of the model chosen in this report for
reflection on feedback and feed forward. Lastly, it will include the reflective approach to
feedback and feed forward and how it can improve the future formative and summative
assessments.
MAIN BODY
Reflection and reflective approach to learning
Reflection is the learning practice through which we learn the new things from learned
experiences (Cushion, 2018). Reflective practices are examining the skills while doing the task
before and after to know the difference and learn the skills which are lacking. Through Gibbs
model of reflection individual knows their feedbacks and experiences deeply.
