INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The extreme exposure of the learners in online games becomes horrendous nowadays specially

for the students, because most of the students forget their priorities specially in their school and

houses, they were too much focus on the games they were playing, without noticing or knowing

that they already ruining their selves. According to (Griffith, 2006) the addiction to the rivalry

and excitements of the gamers make them the most common recreational programs for todays

teenagers, so that they'll do anything to reach a higher level of the game, that they completely

separate from their surroundings challenging with the obstacles in reading a higher level in the

game make them anxious. And because of their eagerness and excitement to achieve the highest

level of the game, instead of doing their homeworks or any household chores, they just spent

their time in playing games and as a result of it they'll get a low grades in their classes and be

scolded by their parents.

The researchers conducted this study because as we could observe most of the students from

Grade-7 up to Grade-12 they were too much involve in playing Online games that even during

their classes and vacant time they were still playing, instead of
studying their lessons and having fun with their friends and family. The researchers aim to know

the effects of the Online gaming to their behaviors and their academic performance.

Though some of the players said that there are still good effect and advantages in playing Online

games, some says that through this game, it can enhance their planning and critical thinking

skills and they can escape from their problems and from the reality they haved, and through this

game they can make another character of their self and where they can be more tough and boost

their self-confidence through this game.

But still, there are negative effects in playing Online games specially if they can't control their

self in playing, that may lead to addiction.

This study will help the participants to know the effects of too much playing Online Gaming in

their academic performace and in their behavior so they could minimize or control their self in

playing any online games and they'll be conscious in the said effect and also for them to know

and realize that too much playing of Online games is not worth their time and money.

CHAPTER II

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter highlights some related literature and studies that includes relevant to understanding

the different aspect of research, the researcher gain from internet and other electronic sources

which provide relevant facts about the effect of online gaming toward the behavior and academic

performance of a student. This will help in familiarizing informations that are relevant to the

present study.

Related Literature

Dockrill (2012) stated that srudents who regularly spend time in playing any online games are

developing their thingking and problem solving skills that can also help them in their

schoolwork. He also stated that when you play online games you are solving puzzle to move to

next level and that involves using some of the general knowledge and skills in math, reading,

science that you've been taught during the day.

Computer games have become one of the most important tools for children, teenagers and even

adults all around the world. Allowing them to the virtual world with unlimited posibilities,

computer games compulsively attract many people. In fact, they've become an integral part of

human society. In other words by providing vurtual fun and entertaining environment

(Demirbeleka & Lema Tamer, 2010), and having characteristics such as being interesting and

exciting computer games stimulate motivation and creat sense of enjoynment of learning. They

not only have become one of the most significant recreations for all age groups, but also they

have potentials to be used for educational purposes as a new strategy (Prensky, 2003; Tuzaun &

et, al., 2009; Crimley & et, al., 2011). Therefore, video games can no longer be seen more

entertainment tools. Today the positive effect of video games are emphasized more than ever. As

game have become a tool to communicate, teach, and influence attitude and behavior, numerous
studies have suggested that they have positive effects on problem solving, achievement as well as

creating interest and commitment in learning which is according to (Tuzaun & et al, 2009; Kim

Park & Back, 2009).

In an experiment by Williams (2006), School performance increased after the participants

dramatically decreased (limited time spent using technology to 30 minutes per day) their usage

of all technology, including video games finally Jaruratanasirikul, et, al., (2009) found out that

the excessive playing of video games (5 hours or more per session) resulted in school grades that

were below a predictor at academic performances. They also suggested that that video games

indirectly lead to decrease performance through promoting violence. Finally, they note that

playing video games took time away from school activities, homework, social, interaction, etc.

Anand (2007) also found out that males were more prone to these results than females, because

males play more video games, the penetration of video games into the united states alone is huge,

with atleast 90% of homes having children that have played (rented or owned) video games.

The challenge domographic seems to be the major group of gamers simply because they have a

lack of parental supervision and they have more vacant schedules, allowing them to play more.

The study and literature concerning the effects of online gamers to the academic performances of

the students are contradictory because some of them suggested that online games may lead to

negative effects or addiction while other said that it gives positive benefits to the relation

between the usage of computer games and academic performance has no definitive answer to the

question of whether computer games distruct academic perdormanc.

Vinluan (2016) stated that computer gaming is one of the fast developing sectors of this

generation of computer technology. Computer games offer their patrons with a new dimension of
virtual entertainment. The youth specially the college students are the usual patrons of computer

games.

Furthermore, many multiplayer games such as Dota or defense of the Ancients and Mobile

legends involves cooperation with other online players in order to win. These games encourage

players to make the most of their individuals skills to contribute to the team.

Online gaming has emerged as a popular and successful source of entertainment and play for

people of all ages, especially for the students. It refers to the games that are played over some

forms of computer network, typically on the internet. These games are played online in which

you can connect with multiple players. It is normally platform independent, relying on the web

browser and appropriate plug-in (Robinson, 2016).

Skoric et, al. (2009) found out that while game addiction leads to negative academic performance

moderate engagement in gaming can lead to improved performance. In academic setting, they

found out that a possitive correlation between game play and english test scores, which suggests

that gaming can actually lead to better test scores.

Studies of abdolkhaleghi et, al. (2006); Ramenzakhani et, al. (2008); Roc and Muijs (2006); and

Russell (2006) also showed that rate of playing computer games has negative correlation with

students achievement, while other research showed that there is no negative relationship between

games and educational attainment.

Shao-I, et. al, (2004) also studied addiction and noted a decreased in school performance

when the students was addicted to gaming. They found that gaming addiction physically impacts

academic achievements because the student is too much involved in the game to do homeworks

or prepare their self in their next lesson.

There are also others that have found decreased of academic performance in relation to

involvement in playing online games. Anderson and Dill (2007) studied online games and

aggression and stated that not only gaming has an impact on performance directly, but it also

triggers on higher level of aggression, which is often linked to problem in school and decreased

academic performance.

Theoritical Framework

This study is anchored on the study of Mejia (2018) effect of mobile games to the behavior and

health of the SHS students, it is about the effect of mobile, you tend to think about the negative

effects first. Like the fact they are causing addiction, in behavior and in their health. We are

surrounded by people that who prefer to spend time alone with their mobile phones instead of

starting conversation with a random stranger or having a quality time to their friends and

families. And Mobile games consume more and more of our time each day. But of it, playing

mobile games have a positive effect to the players of it specially in Mobile Legend players, so

the researchers came up to this study to show that there is also good effects in playing mobile

games (Mobile Legend) to the health and behavior of SHS students.

This study, speculated about the effect of Online gaming on the behavior and academic performance of a

student.

The speculation is backed up by existing theories and studies. One is Griffith (2006) stated that the

addiction to the rivalry and excitements of the gamers make them the most common recreational

programs for todays teenagers, so that they'll do anything to reach a higher level of the game,

that they completely separate from their surroundings challenging with the obstacles in reading a

higher level in the game make them anxious.

Moreover, this study posits about the possible effects of Online Gaming among the students of

Mabuhay National High School.

This study will help the participants to know the effects of too much playing Online Gaming in

their academic performace and in their behavior so they could minimize or control their self in

playing any online games and they'll be conscious in the said effect and also for them to know

and realize that too much playing of Online games is not worth their time and money.

1.) The students should be aware on what are possible effect of online gaming in their behavior

and health and they should control or minimize their selves in playing online games, instead

they should communicate with their friends and family to developed their relationship with

each other.

online games the school administrators and teachers might consider to promote physical health,

spormanship, camaraderie and pro-social skills to the students instead of getting engaged with

online games.

3.) Further, parents, teachers association might consider being functional in all their

responsibilities. For example, the teacher might consider to notify the parents about the

academic performance and social behavior of the students inside the school facilities. This

association can strengthen the home and school partnership to supervise the students

activities.
