Potential Abstract:
Abstract: Hackathons have gained popularity as platforms for innovation and collaboration, particularly in the realm of education. However, the meanings and experiences of participants in these events are often overlooked, especially in the context of diverse perspectives and voices. This research aims to address this gap by introducing a novel research method that emphasizes capturing the multivoiced nature of hackathon interactions. Drawing on principles of participatory action research and qualitative inquiry, this study will engage participants in reflective dialogues and collaborative sense-making activities to uncover the innovative meanings generated within hackathon environments. Through an iterative data collection and analysis process, the study seeks to illuminate the diverse perspectives, values, and intentions that shape the outcomes of educational hackathons. By adopting a multivoiced approach, this research not only offers a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics at play in these events but also provides insights into how innovative practices can be fostered and sustained in educational settings. This study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on innovative pedagogies and methodologies in education, highlighting the importance of centering diverse voices and perspectives in research and practice.
