INTRODUCTION
The main aim of this essay is to analyse the meaning of reflection and identify certain
concepts that are been considered while presenting any kind of reflection by the learner. Also,
the report will help in understanding the reflective learning process through applying the
Gibbs model so that better and detail understanding might be gained. Moreover, the study will
describe meaning of feedback and feed forwards and will explain how it is used by the learner
to develop better strategies in the future for both personal and professional growth through
using the Gibbs model. Also, feedback and feed forwards are very crucial as it helps in
improving the efficiency of learner in all the future assessments. Lastly, the study will also
explain the significance of feed forward and feedback to the learner so that all the future
formative and the summative assessments might be improved in best of manner.
MAIN BODY
Describing reflection and reflective approach using the Gibbs model
Reflective learning is the process that allows the learner to describe the learning
experience so that better critical thinking skills and future performance might be increased.
Also, through the systematic refection the learner is able to know about the gaps in the
knowledge and what are the learning strategies that help them to complete certain task or
objectives (Ardian, Hariyati and Afifah, 2019). Moreover, reflective approach to learning might
be identified through using the Gibbs model that is been described in detail as follows:
Description: Under this stage of model the learner identifies the total description of
any event that he/She experiences in the past (Gibbs' Reflective Cycle, 2022). Also, here it
describes what is actually happened. Also, it identifies when and what has happened actually
in the classroom. Furthermore, learner will explains the outcome of the situation and who were
people that has been met during the classroom sessions.
Feelings: Here in this stage learner will analyse the overall feeling during the
classroom activities and will also talk about the feelings before and after completion of the
activity. Moreover, here the learner will explain what it is feeling now and the what were the
thoughts during the situation (Kreonidou and Kazamia, 2019).
Evaluation: This is the stage of reflection in which learner evaluates the good and the
bad about the overall classroom experience and clearly states what actually went well and
