Theoretical Frameworks

Situated cognition theory, this theory is based on the premise that

knowledge is formed and supported by the cultural, social and physical experience

by situation of an individual (Brown et al., 1989). In Playing Mobile legends players

can practice their social skills by interact and communicate. They can easily to think

a solution to solve the problems and tasks that will given by the teachers.

 12

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the

thorough and in-depth research done by the researchers.

Related Literature

Ballotpedia defined academic performance as the measurement of student

achievement across various academic subjects. Teachers and education officials

typically measure achievement using classroom performance, graduation rates and

results from standardized tests.

Kwatch (2018) the internet has provided a wide range of information that both

teachers and students can access at the convenience of their locations. The internet

also provides entertainments including online games that some education experts

think that these games corrupt the brain. According to University of Wisconsin

psychologist C. Shawn Green, playing video and online games change the brain’s

physical structure the same way as do learning to read, playing the piano, or

navigating using a map.

 13

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

A Space Whale Studios’ 2018 article enumerates the positive and negative

effects of playing online and mobile games, these are the positive effects:

Improving brain functions, science is proving that playing video games

with moderation is good for your brain. Brain scientist Daphne Bavelier

states: “the effect of video games on the brain is very similar to the

effect of wine on the health: there are some very poor uses of wine,

there are some very poor uses of video games. But, when consumed

in reasonable doses and at the right age, wine can be very good for

health. Video games are the same and they have a number of

ingredients that are very powerful for brain plasticity, learning, attention

or vision”.

Encouraging individuals to have a healthy lifestyle, there are so-called

pact apps that encourage users to live a healthier life by imposing

dieting and exercise resolutions that one must respect. Users who

break their promises have to pay other players, in what looks very

much like a fitness challenge. Without these apps, some people may

never consider the idea of dieting or exercising.

 14

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

And the negative effects are the following:

Increased spending, many mobile games are free, but in fact they use a

“free to premium” business model, which means you can have the

basic game for free but have to pay money to get those interesting

extras. Some people end up spending large amounts of money on in-

app purchases, just to make sure they don’t lose a battle or to unlock

an extra level of the game. These types of games can be very

addictive to vulnerable categories, like children, and even if parents

allow them to play the free game, there have been cases where

purchases were made accidentally without the possibility of receiving a

refund.

Sleep problems, playing games before going to sleep is a bad idea

because this activity can cause disruption of sleep patterns and

prevents you from getting the rest you need. As a result, you will feel

sleepy during the day and probably have behavior issues as well.
 15

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Loss of productivity, playing games may tend you lose your productivity in

terms of school and other activities, since most of the players are more

focused in the game they have left and wanted to continue.

One of the most famous online games of the 21 st century is Mobile Legends.

Mobile Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena for iOS and Android devices

developed and published by Shanghai Moonton Technology, a game development

company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The game was launched on 2016

(Chua, 2019). Because of its popularity, specifically on Southeast Asia, it gained its

position at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games held on December 5-8 at the

Philippines. According to Logan Shaw, Moonton's Tournament Director, the

Philippines is the second-largest market for Mobile Legends with around two million

players logging on daily. Mobile Legends is arguably one of the most popular mobile

games currently played (Vox, 2019).

According to a Sunstar article some researchers came up with a study to

show that there is also an effect in mobile games (ML) to the behavior and health of

students. There are positive and negative effects. Positive effects are: improving

brain functions and educating children. Negative effects: distraction while performing
 16

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

another important activity, affecting social interaction, sleep problems and loss of

productivity.

According to Kuss & Griffiths, teens who play online games are just having

fun. They do not just actually play because of some sort of seriousness, but also

because they just want to feel relief. During school hours, students tend to feel

stressed due to loads of school works and through playing it will relive their stress .

Related Studies

Playing online games are always associated with poor academic

performance. A research by Fang-Ling et al. (2013) concludes that the students

spending too much time on online games every week tend to suffer from worsened

learning ability, concentration problems, poor academic performance, and decreased

interactions with other people.

The GSN Games Network conducted a research report on the online games

industry, and more than 60% of respondents play games daily and spend more than

11 hours a week playing (Sinno, 2009).

 17

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

A study by Posso (2016) concludes that when you play online games is likely

solving numbers, and puzzles using your mind to think.

A study by Skoric et al. (2009) found that gaming addiction leads to negative

academic performance, moderate engagement in gaming can lead to improved

performance in an academic setting. They also found a positive correlation between

game play and English test score, which suggest that gaming can lead to better test.

However, a study by Wack & Tantlett-dunn (2009) found a negative correlation,

although the relationship between Mobile Legends and academic performance in

their study was not significant. The excessive playing of Mobile Legends game (five

hours or more per session) resulted in school grades that were below a 3.00 or

below 78 (Wongwaitaweewong, 2009).

 19

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

The researcher used a survey questionnaire to gather information

that is beneficial to a group of individuals. The survey questionnaire uses statistical

analysis to collect data, and the result of it will be use in the envelopment of an

individual.

Survey questionnaire is compose of a set of questions of obtaining statistically useful

a personal information from individuals. It is a written or printed questionnaire often

with space for answers. It will be answered by the respondents of this study.

The survey questionnaire is a type of data gathering method that is utilized to collect,

analyze and interpret the different views of a group of people from a particular

population.

the list of playing mobile legends from the seven (7) strand of Southville 1 Integrated

National High School, 8 students from Stem, 2 students from sports, 25 students

from EIM A and B, 8 students from GAS A and B, and 2 students from HE.

representative from each administrative level or position which 45 respondents were

selected and they were played mobile legends to answer the survey questionnaire of

this study.

Data Gathering Procedure

Survey research means collecting information about a group of people by

asking them questions and analysing the results to conduct an effective survey,

follow these seven steps.

1. Determine who will be participate in the survey

Validation of Instrument

The questionnaire that the researchers validate through the following steps.

The first researchers prepared the draft questions then submitted to the 3I’s adviser

Mrs. for the improvements. Second the researchers improves the final draft by the

help of the adviser due to some changes and the questionnaire will include in the

research.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data from the researchers questionnaire are analyzed and interpreted

with the help of the research statistician using the following statistical tools.
