How do I reference Gibbs’ reflective cycle/model? (APA)

Answer

Gibbs’ reflective cycle was originally published in a book titled Learning by doing: a guide to teaching and learning methods (1988).  

The library has access to a 2013 reprint of the book. 

It is best practice to find the cycle/model in the book, and reference as below. The cycle can be found in section 4.3.5 Structured debriefing.
