Linda Lawrence-Wilkes and Dr Lyn Ashmore, teachers of professional development in higher education, collaborated to publish their research on Reflective Practice for learning, 'The Reflective Practitioner in Professional Education'.
The theoretical approach of reflection as a cyclical model was further developed by Graham Gibbs (1998). This model is based on a six-stage approach, leading from a description of the experience through to conclusions and considerations for future events. While most of the core principles are similar to Kolb’s, Gibbs’ model is broken down further to encourage the teacher to reflect on their own thoughts and feelings.
