Dataset for "Speaking Flames – A study of threshold experiences inherent in fire-cræft and the affordances of kindling metaphors for the principles they provide for progressive pedagogy" Ed.D. thesis

The dataset includes a short video (called 'Fire Lighters short'), a slide sequence (called 'Firelighting Slide Sequence'), and unedited video clips of various stages of a facilitated kindling session. These files serve as documentation/supportive material for an Ed.D. thesis which addresses questions and themes in contemporary educational philosophy. The video footage was taken during a facilitated workshop in friction fire-lighting using traditional fire-lighting tools. The workshop was facilitated in the context of a professional development programme for teachers and it documents the situted, collaborative and contextual activity which sits at the core of this Ed.D research into educational philosophy, purpose, and praxis.
