Kedi


Book Description

This second book in the Routledge Docalogue series continues to model a new form for the discussion of documentary film, focusing on a new film and a different set of critical questions. Kedi (2016) is the first feature documentary by Turkish-American filmmaker Ceyda Torun. The film provides a window into the everyday lives of Istanbul street cats; their itinerant meanderings present a non-human perspective on this ever-changing, ancient city while at the same time exploring the meaningful impact these cats have on the humans they encounter. Kedi: A Docalogue brings together a diversity of perspectives on this film. By combining five distinct critical approaches to a single documentary, this book acts both as an intensive scholarly treatment and as a guide for how to analyze, theorize, and contextualize a documentary. Together, the essays in this book touch upon key topics in documentary studies, including animal studies, eco-documentaries, sound studies, and media industry studies, making them essential reading for scholars interested in contemporary documentary. They also provide useful case studies for teaching documentary film in courses on Contemporary Cinema, Cultural Studies, and Media Industries.

KEDI Instructional Strategies


Book Description

This paper outlines the instructional systems model developed by the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI). Before discussing the system itself, the speaker outlines the Korean mastery learning strategy on which it is based. The mastery learning approach has nine phases: diagnosis of learning deficiency, compensatory programs, presentation of instructional objectives, teacher instruction, formative tests, remedial programs, enrichment programs, cooperative learning activities, and summative tests. While the mastery learning strategies address only the teaching/learning aspect of education, the KEDI instructional program model was developed as a subsystem of the total educational system. The KEDI model addresses itself to the five steps involved in instruction for a learning task: planning, diagnosis, teaching/learning, extended learning, and evaluation. The speaker discusses outcomes of the program's four tryouts and the cost implications of the program. (Author/IRT).




Road to Liansha


Book Description

This is the second book in a series as of yet an undetermined number of books. At the moment, there are five books. The first is published, this is the second, while three thru five are in draft form, and the next work in notes. It is a saga of one named Burrwood and his struggle to learn who he is and, at the same time, to survive in a beautiful yet brutal world. In simple terms, the author, having created a world with maps of places he would like to visit, uses the books as a kind of a travel log. Though at the same time the author is exploring the question: Do great heroes make great events, or do great events make great heroes?

It is principally designed for those who actually work within educational radio and television systems. They are the people who perhaps stand to gain most by reading about international case studies. In addition, high-level decision-makers, planners and others who are concerned with conceptualizing, planning and implementing new systems, or more likely, modifying old ones, will find much to interest them.







This Is My Life


Book Description

This book is not about the political history of Apartheid South Africa; it is about an extraordinary South African woman's life. It depicts where she was born, and chronicles her courageous journey into exile to Lesotho, Zambia, Zaire, and Britain, culminating with a diplomatic assignment in the United States of America. This is where the politics of the day intersects with personal lives, making us all more deeply appreciative of how profoundly the 'personal is political'.
