Gibb s and Kolb s Reflective model
Gibb’s and Kolb’s Reflective model
In this report I am going to evaluate the difference between Gibbs (1988) and Kolb (1984), drawing primarily on Gibbs’s reflective model.
The Kolb cycle 1984 was published before Gibbs 1988, David A. Kolb published his conception after an experimental test on a book “Experience as the Source of learning and development” while Gibbs published his theory by developing on the existing Kolb cycle (ehow[07/10/2014]).
Kolb’s theory is based on 4 cycles. It starts with doing something as an individual, a group of people or even a team in Kolb’s cycle you cannot learn while watching or reading you must do something to learn, then on the second stage you need to stop for a while review what happen and experience it and start asking question and communicate with other members of the group, abstract Conceptualization is the stage of understanding what happened and why it happened in this stage we need to know what we have done and what we know, the final stage we give time to plan if next time the experience happens what are we going to do and what action will be taken . To summarize Kolb is based on learning by doing things (simplypsychology [published 2010, updated 2013])
Figure 1: Kolb’s reflective cycle
The Gibbs cycle is based on six stages. It starts with describing what happened, then asking what do you feel and thinking about this experience, then the third stage is evaluation (was the experience good or bad?), next it analyses what can you make from this situation or event then last but not least drawing a conclusion-what could you done differently in this situation? Finally, you must draw up some action plans in case it happens again what will you do.

Figure 2: Gibb’s cycle
My preferred reflexive model is Gibbs, whose cycle provides further detail to reflections and also suggests following steps. Now lets demonstrate this model in relation to my first day at BCU.
