Reference excerpt

Tsehai Loves Learning (Amharic: ፀሀይ መማር ትወዳለች) is an Ethiopian children's television series produced by Whiz Kids Workshop which is owned by husband-and-wife Bruktawit Tigabu and Shane Etzenhouser. It premiered on 17 September 2006. The show's characters are a giraffe puppet and similar animated characters speaking the local language of Amharic, with translations into seven languages. It reaches an estimated 2,800,000 to 5,000,000 children. It was introduced to the US and Europe by the Dawn Breakers International Film Festival in 2008. In June 2008, the show won the "Next Generation" prize at the Prix Jeunesse International. In October that year, the show won the Japan Prize International Contest for Educational Media's award for world's best educational pre-school media. It won two major awards in Asia.

Premise Centered around the titular character portrayed by giraffe sock, it was commissioned to support the Ministry of Education for 1st and 4th grade. The show reaches over five million children aged 3–10 each week. Tsehai Loves Learning broadcast mainly on three networks. Initially it aired on EBC and on Amhara Television. The Ministry of Education channel is the mainstream network. The show modelled American television series Sesame Street, in which the puppet could interact with backdrop environments and using letters, numbers and shapes. According to creator, it is used to help children's visual understanding and reading skills. By implementing traditional graphical art, it creates awareness of Ethiopian culture. Tsehai Loves Learning is the first Ethiopian television show to use puppets and animation. The show also offers awareness of subjects facing the country: child slaves and orphanages.

Recognition The show earned awards, including a 6,000 euro prize, and sponsorship by Australian Children's Television Foundation, BBC, Disney Germany, KRO, Nickelodeon International, and ZDF. In June 2008, the show won the "Next Generation" prize at the Prix Jeunesse International, an awards ceremony aimed towards children's television. In October, the show won the Japan Prize International Contest for Educational Media's award for world's best educational pre-school media. It won two major awards in Asia. According to Etzenhouser "the Prix Jeunesse prize recognized 'Tsehai Loves Learning' for its social impact as well as the quality of the production relative to its low budget. The Japan Prize focuses on the educational value of the content, so 'Tsehai' has now been recognized internationally for quality, social impact, and educational value." UNESCO planned to support four programs. Private company Jolly Jus distributes DVDs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tsehai Loves Learning

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tsehai Loves Learning claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tsehai Loves Learning before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tsehai Loves Learning ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tsehai Loves Learning

In research: Tsehai Loves Learning appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tsehai Loves Learning in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tsehai Loves Learning is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 television series debuts, Amharic-language television, Animated television series about giraffes, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tsehai Loves Learning outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
