INTRODUCTION
Gibbs Reflective Cycle is defined as a tool of management and self reflection through
which the individual can think about the several experiences which the individual gain during the
performance of particular action or practice in a clear and systematic manner. Gibbs model of
reflection is found as a process which include six stages i.e. description, feelings, analysis,
conclusion and action plan (Ahmed, 2020). This report is highlighting all the stages of Gibbs
Reflective model along with describing my experience of doing research on the impact of
COVID-19 on the economy of United Kingdom.
MAIN BODY
Below mentioned are the several stages of Gibbs Reflective Cycle Model which I am using to
share the experience of my research:
 Description: It is the first stage of Gibbs Reflective Cycle model which describe the
complete situation in detail. The main concern of this stage is to explaining the situation.
I performed the task of doing research on the data of inflation and impact of COVID-19
on the economy of United Kingdom. In order to knowing about related concepts, I have
performed quantitative data analysis which help me to know about the research problem
which include decrease in buying power of customers and many more. I get the dataset
from the website of ONS which state the reason behind the inflation in the country.
Through analysing the several data which I get from several sources, I come to the
conclusion of my research topic (Reljić, Pajnkihar and Fekonja, 2019).
 Feelings: This stage of Gibbs Reflective model help me in explaining the feelings and
thoughts which I gained during performing my project. I face several difficulties during
my project which highly influence my motivation level. But I also worked on the
development of skills within me which help me in facing all the issues and difficulties in
an effective and efficient manner. When I had started the project, I was nervous because
of lack of confidence within me but when I started doing research and getting
informative aspects, I feel motivated towards the project which help me in gaining the
success.
 Evaluation: It is the next stage of Gibbs Reflective Cycle Model under which evaluation
have been done for the work which have been performed by me. While I was performing
