INTRODUCTION
Reflective approach of learning related to those approach under which the person has express
their past experience so that the work of the learning can be take place in their personality. It is

them in their process of learning. Reflective approach of the learning is one of the important and
modern approach which is very familiar due to their higher results. This report provided brief

TASK
Gibb's model of reflection
Gibb’s model of reflection is one of the important and valuable model which can be used by the
person in their reflective approach of learning. This model was established with a motive to
provide systematic framework to the learners to express their personal experience on any topic or
the event. There are different types of persona are present in the market which does not have
skills of expressing their views so this model of reflection is very helpful for them because it
provides opportunity and knowledge to the individual due to which they can use in their journey
of reflective journey(Block, 2018). This report is based on the concept of reflective learning which
is promoted by the use of Gibb’s model of reflection. The brief discussion related to the Gibb’s
model in regard to the reflective learning approach are given below:
It is a time of our communication class under which the professor has topic related to the
reflective learning approach. It is one of the interesting topic of the class and all the students has
make their focus on the learning and lecture of the professor. There are many models and
theories are explained by our professor which is developed for the promotion of the concept of
reflective learning. Gibbs model of reflection is one of them. The professor has told us that it is

one of the effective and successful method of reflection if we want to develop the skills of
reflection then this model is very helpful for us.
At the time when the professor has told us to learn and understand the Gibb’s model of
reflection, the feeling of fear and anxiety are developed in my personality. The main reason for
the development of this negative feeling is that the topic was very new and we never learn such
type of thing in our life. But when I started this project, all the things starting to be clear which
increases my level of confidence.
There are different dimensions are present in this topic or the area and I analyse both
positive and negative aspect of this project. This helps me to develop considerable judgement
about the topic and also the effective thinking (Goh, 2019). The positive part of this model is that
it helps the person to develop skills of reflection in their personality which enables them to
improve their learning process. The negative part of this model is that it promotes the informal
way of writing which is not suitable for the career path of the individual if they are in excessive
level.
One of the positive side of this project that it helps to increase the level of confidence in
my personality and also helps to express the personal view on any situation. This helps me to
become great and effective scholar of the market which are having extensive knowledge of the
market. The bad part of this model is that it creates the thinking of informal in the personality of
the individual which is not superior for the merits.
There are many reason for the learning and development of this model in my personality
because it helps me to become more competitive in my life which has solve the problems by
their modern solution. The ultimate reason for the understanding of this model in my personality
is that it helps to increase my knowledge of learning which helps to make my career effective
and valuable in the future because the scope of reflective learning is very high in the future.
There are large number of skills are present which I have developed in my personality due to this
project such as communication skills, learning skills, interpersonal skills and many more. All
these skills are very helpful for me because it enables me to become great personnel in the
market.
It is my personal feeling that if the situations related to the reflective learning are came in my life
then I become more sort and attractive towards them due to the development of learning of
Gibb’s model in my personality.

Feedback is one of the valuable and effective tool of learning which is used by many persons to
aware the mistakes and deviations present in the services and work of the other. The main aim of
this tool of the learning is to make possible changes in the work of the other according to the
central and higher authority. There are large number of mistakes and deviations can be present in
the work or the services given by one person to another person which minimised the
effectiveness of the learning but the presence of the feedback framework helps them to increase
the level of veracity and effectiveness in the work. The presence of this tool helps me in many
works such as the feedback of the other helps me to improve the deviations which are present in
my personality in related top the skill development and many more.
Feedforward refers to those tool of the learning which is the reverse action of the
Feedback. One of the key difference between both the concept is that feedback involved the
evaluation of mistakes and deviation in the work of the other which sometimes creates the state
of criticism. Under the concept of Feed forward the person has suggested and recommended to
the work of the other that hoe they improve their work and the involvement of criticism are not
there but the motivation of the parties is increase in this section of the learning tool. There are
large number of recommendation and suggestions are made on the service and the work so that
the effectiveness and competitiveness of the work can be increases (Howell, R.A., 2021). It is one
of the important tool which promotes the level of motivation and loyalty. It is one of the best
method to improve the habits of the person because it helps to improve the mistakes from the
matter.
Both the concept which are explained above are very important for the development of
knowledge about the Gibb’s model of reflection because the number of problems arise in the
reflection can be improve by these tools. These frameworks help me to make changes in my
personality.
CONCLUSION
It is concluded from this report that the development of reflective approach of learning are very
important for the development of the career and also the personality. There are large number of
models and theories are present in the market which helps to develop effective reflective learning

and Gibb’s model of reflection are one of the successful method are concluded in this report.
This report concluded brief discussion related to Gibbs model of reflection and their practical
applicability. This report concluded the description and usage of the feedback and feed forward
in the future orientation process.
