Abstract: This study examined the performance of 8th grade students within a narrative-centered learning environment (NLE) focused on science content. Students showed significant increases in science content knowledge after gameplay. Performance in the NLE was related to higher science self-efficacy and also led to increased presence, interest, and transfer of science concepts. No differences were found between genders for content knowledge, however different variables predicted success by gender. In addition, males entered the study with higher levels of reported gaming experience and showed early advantages for game score that dissipated by the end of play. Further findings and implications for learning are discussed.
