6. Creation
7. Connection
8. Caring
9. Congruence
10.Constructing personal knowing in practice
Models Of Reflection

Gibbs takes as his starting point the event, or
experience around which the reflection is based, and
begins by asking the reflector to describe what
happened. The process moves Through feelings at the
time, an evaluation of the
experience in terms of
good and bad practice,
Further analysis asking
for ‘sense making’, or
theoretical perspectives,
Before reaching a
Conclusion and following
up with an action plan.

So What?
●
●
… did I base my actions on?
●
… other knowledge can I bring to the situation?
●

●
… is my new understanding of the situation?
●
… broader issues arise from the situation?
Now ●
●
do I need to do in order to make things better/stop being stuck/improv
teaching/resolve the situation/feel better/get on better/etc., etc.?
