Reflection & Reflexion: with the GIBBS model

Practice working with the GIBBS model In this fourth session of R&R practice, we will experiment the GIBBS* model which is widely known and used in different professional fields all around the world. We will first share inputs about what « Reflective and Reflexive practice » is exactly. We hear and read a lot about it, but do we really know what it covers? The first part of the session will focus on clarifying « Reflection and Reflexive practice », which is the core of the journey for a coach / mentor / leader coach interested in accreditation and /or professional continuous development. The second part of the session will be a live experimentation of the GIBBS model with your hosts Catherine Marissiaux (EIA MP, ESIA) and Anne Berthelin (EIA SP, ESIA). You will practice the reflection model in small breakout rooms and share your learning outcomes and ways to enrich your practice with all participants. The first session of the day, 2024 June 24th, 9.00am CET, will be in French (book separately) The second session of the same day, 2024 June 24th, 6.00pm CET (5pm UK time), will be in English. *Gibbs (1988) created his “structured debriefing” to support experiential learning. It was designed as a continuous cycle of improvement for a repeated experience but can also be used to reflect on a standalone experience, for future action, or even in action to help the practitioner navigate through a coaching / mentoring session, in terms of awareness, feelings, systemic understanding, strategies. One of the key things about Gibbs Model is the acknowledgement of the importance of feelings in reflection. He also separates out evaluation - what went well and what did not. We invite to dive into the 6 stages of the model, and particularly into the feeling’s exploration: initial emotions, subsequent emotions, impacts of these emotions on you, others, process, context. *Professor Graham Gibbs was Head of the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development at Oxford Brookes University, and subsequently Director of the Oxford Learning Institute at Oxford University. He retired in 2007, after a career in which he founded the Improving Student Learning Symposium and the International Consortium for Educational Development in Higher Education. Graham's contribution has been recognised with a National Teaching Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy, an Honorary Doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University and an Honoris Doctoris Causa from the University of Utrecht.
