Gibbs' Reflective Cycle

Gibbs' Reflective Cycle is a structured way to think about experiences. It consists of six steps: 1) Description - What happened? 2) Feelings - How did I feel? 3) Evaluation - What was good or bad about the experience? 4) Analysis - Why did things happen this way? 5) Conclusion - What can I learn from it? 6) Action Plan - How can I improve in the future? This cycle helps individuals reflect on their experiences, leading to better understanding and improvement in personal and professional situations.
