I therefore decided to work with the teachers and through their narrative knowledge
explore gender-inclusive practices in a number of Maltese science classrooms. The
study was not intended to document all that was happening in Maltese science
classrooms. As stated by LaBoskey and Lyons (2002):
Teaching involves the active engagement of human beings with one another in the
interest of learning. It is therefore complex by nature, unpredictable and context-
specific. We cannot aim to discover final answers or magic recipes. We can
endeavour to develop exemplars that can provide frameworks for meaningful inter-exchange and thereby make powerful knowledge construction more possible (p. 197).
