‘It is not sufficient to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting on this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost.’

(Gibbs, 1988, p9)

Why is reflective approach important?

Does this example clearly explain what you did? When and where? How did you carry out the project? How would you change your approach in the future?
