Gibbs' Reflective Cycle 6 Stages with Questions

About this template

This slide lays out Gibbs' Reflective Cycle as six numbered cards in a 3x2 grid, enclosed by a loop of colored arrows that shows the cycle returning to its start. The stages are Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action Plan, and each card holds a heading and a short set of guiding questions. It is used in nursing and teacher education, coaching, student reflection tasks and team debriefs after a project or incident. The title, stage names, questions, number badges and arrow colors can all be edited, so the same layout can carry a different six-step cycle.
