Research "Gibbs Model of Reflection". What it is what elements need to be considered, etc. Remember to answer following question: How researched model of reflection can help you to evaluate your own practice and activities supported by you. List references.
Gibbs’ (1988) reflective cycle is a popular model for reflection. It is clear and precise allowing for description, analysis and evaluation of the experience helping the reflective practitioner to make sense of experiences and examine their practice. To reflect is not enough, you then have to put into practice the learning and new understanding you have gained therefore allowing the reflective process to inform your practice. Taking action is the key; Gibbs prompts the practitioner to formulate an action plan. This enables the reflective practitioner to look at their practice and see what they would change in the future, how they would develop/improve their practice. The model includes 6 stages of reflection and is presented below.
Description
In this section, you need to explain what you are reflecting on to your reader. Perhaps include background information, such as what it is you’re reflecting on and tell the reader who was involved. It’s important to remember to keep the information provided relevant and to-the-point.
Feelings

You can discuss your emotions honestly, but make sure to remember at all times that this is an academic piece of writing, so avoid ‘chatty’ text.
