University of Edinburgh goes through how to answer the six questions posed by Gibbs in detail by adding the sub-questions written below:

Description of the experience: What happened? When and where did it happen? Who was present? What did you and the other people do? What was the outcome of the situation? Why were you there? What did you want to happen?

Feelings and thoughts about the experience: What were you feeling during the situation? What were you feeling before and after the situation? What do you think other people were feeling about the situation? What do you think other people feel about the situation now? What were you thinking during the situation? What do you think about the situation now?

Evaluation of the experience, both good and bad: What was good and bad about the experience? What went well? What did not go so well? What did you and other people contribute to the situation? Positively and negatively? Analysis to make sense of the situation: Why did things go well? Why did it not go well? What sense can I make of the situation? What knowledge—my own or others—can help me make sense of the situation? E.g., is there anything I have read that can help me understand why this was happening?

Conclusion about what you learned and what you could have done differently: What did I learn from this situation? How could this have been a more positive situation for everyone involved? What skills do I need to develop for me to handle a situation like this better? What else could I have done? Action plan for how you would deal with similar situations in the future, or general changes you might find appropriate. If I had to do the same thing again, what would I do differently? How will I develop the required skills I need? How can I make sure that I can act differently next time? We do not need to answer all these questions, but this is a useful framework to help us reflect on the past and rectify our mistakes. This is not a definitive model on r
