Gibbs’s Reflective Cycle

Gibbs’s Reflective Cycle is a structured method for learning from experiences. It involves six steps: describing the situation, expressing feelings, evaluating what was good or bad, analyzing why things happened, concluding what else could be done, and creating an action plan for future similar situations. This process helps individuals understand their actions, learn from mistakes, and improve their skills and responses over time. It's widely used in education and professional development to encourage thoughtful reflection and continuous growth.
