Narrative-centered learning environments hold significant promise for K-12 STEM education. Much of the appeal of narrative-centered learning arises from the capability of narrative to provide a meaningful structure for integrating pedagogical objectives into a unifying, coherent form that serves as a powerful motivating force for students. This chapter explores the relationship between narrative-centered learning and student motivation. Connections are drawn between motivational factors and narrative context through an examination of the crystal island narrative-centered learning environment. Drawing on the results from studies of middle school students interacting with crystal island we consider the hypothesis that narrative can simultaneously promote learning and increase students’ motivation.
