Reflection is often done as writing, possibly because this allows us to probe our reflections and develop them more thoughtfully.
What are the four reflective practice models?
Each model of reflection aims to unpick learning to make links between the ‘doing’ and the ‘thinking’.
- Kolb’s learning cycle.
- Gibbs’ reflective cycle.
- ‘Reflection-in-action’ and ‘reflection-on-action’
What is Kolb’s reflective cycle?
Kolb’s reflective model is referred to as “experiential learning”. The basis for this model is our own experience, which is then reviewed, analysed and evaluated systematically in three stages. Once this process has been undergone completely, the new experiences will form the starting point for another cycle.
What are the four critical lenses?

What does Gibbs say about reflection?
Gibbs states that by reflecting on your learning experience, it allows you to better your performance as it is happening, as well as improving it for the future. Without this reflection on your own learning, it is therefore difficult to improve for next time.
What is the difference between Kolb and Gibbs reflective cycle?
Whereas Kolb’s model is sometimes referred to as an experiential learning model, which simply means learning through experience. Gibbs’ model is sometimes referred to as an iterative model, which simply means learning through repetition. I used a lot of the Gibbs reflective model while trying to work as a team.
Why do nurses use Gibbs model of reflection?
Reflection is a key aspect of the personal and professional development that nurses are required to undertake to keep pace with the changing nature of practice. It helps ensure safe and effective evidence-based care by allowing nurses to constantly improve their skills.

| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Allow you to assess all levels of a situation | Models may not apply in every situation |
| You will know when the process is complete | Reflective practice is a continuous process |
What is Rolfes model of reflection?
Professor Gary Rolfe and colleagues (2001) describe another useful framework for self-reflection in their book ‘Framework for Reflective Practice’. It’s based around three simple questions: What? – describe a particular situation, then focus on achievements, consequences, responses, feelings and any problems.
What is Driscoll model of reflection?
The John Driscoll Model of Reflection is a framework for reflection, developed into a structured process to guide reflection. There are several models of reflection and there isn’t one right choice. It’s important to choose the model that matches the person who will be using it.
What is the Atkins and Murphy model of reflection?
Sue Atkins and Kathy Murphy developed their theory and model of reflective practice in 1994. Their theory of reflective practice is based around stopping and thinking about your work and consciously analysing decision to change future action for the better. The theory is built upon analysis of previous models.
What are the steps of reflection?
Stages. The traditional stages of reflection are self-awareness, description, critical analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This is the cognitive model of learning by reflection.

What are 2 types of reflection?
The reflection of light can be roughly categorized into two types of reflection. Specular reflection is defined as light reflected from a smooth surface at a definite angle, whereas diffuse reflection is produced by rough surfaces that tend to reflect light in all directions (as illustrated in Figure 3).
