Gibbs Reflection for practical activities


To "Reflect" is to look back at what you've done and make sense of it in terms of...

What have I learned?

What do I need to do?

What more could I have done? 

Your learning is closely linked to the criteria seen in your assignments and as you learn, your work has to address this criteria. If you're aware of the criteria and its demands, you can produce your work so that it directly addresses the criteria within the Gibbs reflections. 

At the stage you're currently working with (Practical) your Gibbs reflections need to include responses to the key words and phrases seen in the criteria. 

C.M3 includes the demand that you "apply the stages and activities within the creative process fluently" Looking back at the work you've done so far, do you feel that you've understood what you've been learning  - does it make sense to you and can you see that you're working within a structured process? If so, this can be used in your Gibbs reflection. It might read something like this...









If you look at the analysis you can see that the criteria (In blue) is used in the the response and the student is demonstrating that they are aware of the criteria and have responded to it by explaining that this part of the requirements for the project is coming together. 








Another of the criteria C.D2 demands that you demonstrate innovation when applying the creative process. In order to address this, you should question in your reflection whether you've done it and, if you feel you have, you should explain how, where, and why your work is innovative.

As in the example above, use the words from the criteria in your Gibbs reflection and anlayse whether  you have demonstrated innovation in your work. This might read like this...







Again, you can see the response in the analysis includes wording (In blue) lifted direct from the criteria. The student therefore is writing up their reflection addressing these key words and phrases clarifying why their work is innovative. 





These types of responses (above) should be used in conjunction with the usual reviewing of the work in terms of...

What have I learned?

What do I need to do?

What more could I have done?

Stage 1 - Research - when, why and how.

 You're aiming to produce work that address this criteria... Stage 1 of our creative process is the activity - Research.   You therefore...
