The Reflective Cycle

The Reflective Cycle

Six stages of GIBBS Reflective Cycle TEMPLATE

1) Description: Describe as a matter of fact just what happened during your critical incident or chosen episode for reflection.

2) Feelings: What were you thinking and feeling at the time?

3) Evaluation:  List points or tell the story about what was GOOD and what was BAD about the experience.

4) Analysis: What sense can you make out of the situation. What does it mean?

5) Conclusion: What else could you have done? What should you perhaps not have done?

6) Action Plan: If it arose again, what would you do differently? How will you adapt your practice in the light of this new understanding?
