Abstract

This descriptive study focuses on how online games affects the academic

performance of Grade 12 General Academic Strand students conducted at the

Marinduque Midwest College. Purposive Sampling Technique was used to select

the respondents of the study since it only focuses to the students who are

inclined in online gaming, a total of twenty nine (29) Grade 12 GAS students are

the respondents of the said study. A questionnaire was used as an instrument to

gathered necessary data for this study. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean

and Pearson correlational coefficient were used to analyze and interpret the data

gathered. Result shows that males ages 17 are fond of playing online games.

Among boys, gaming is part of the male socio-cultural communication context.

Most of them identified themselves as casual gamer and the online games they

commonly played are Clash of Clans, Defense of the Ancient and Mobile

Legends. Although there is a relationship between online gaming and academic

performance still it is very low and it cannot be supported. The researcher found

that there is no significant relationship between playing online games to the

academic performance of students.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Background of the Study

A Mobile Game is a game played on a feature phone, smartphone/tablet,

smartwatch, PDA, portable media player or graphing calculator. The earliest

known game on a mobile phone was a Tetris variant on the Hagenuk MT-2000

device from 1994.

Today, mobile games are usually downloaded from app stores as well as

from mobile operator's portals, but in some cases are also preloaded in the

handheld devices by the OEM or by the mobile operator when purchased, via

infrared connection, Bluetooth, memory card or side loaded onto the handset

with a cable.

When you hear about the effect of mobile games 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 think of it, playing mobile games have a

positive effects to the players of it especially in mobile legends players.

 11

So the researchers came up to this study to show that there is also a

effects in mobile games (mobile legends) to the behavior and health of SHS

students.

Objectives of the Study

(at least 3 objectives that your study wants to accomplish)

Statement of the Problem

In this study, the researchers aim to know the Effects of Mobile Games (Mobile

Legends) to the Behavior and Health of SHS students. Specifically, this study

seeks to answer the following sub- questions:

1)What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

a)Name

b)Gender

c)Strand

2)How long(time) the respondents use to play mobile games (mobile legends)?
 13

3)What are the possible effects of playing mobile games (mobile legends) to the

SHS students in terms of:

a)Behavior

b)Health

The study primarily aims to determine the effects of Mobile Legends to the

academic performance of Grade 12 TVL of ACLC Guadalupe specifically; it aims

to answer the following research questions:

1. What is the average perception rating of the respondents regarding

__________(variable 1)___?

2. What is the average perception rating of the respondents regarding

__________(variable 2)___?

3. Is there a significant difference OR relationship between

______variable 1_____ and _____variable 2_____?

4. What program or output can be proposed based from the results of

the study?

Hypothesis

𝐻0 : There is no significant difference OR relationship (choose one only)

Between (var 1) and (var 2).

 14

Scope and Delimitation

This study aims to know the effects of Mobile Legends to the academic

performance of Grade 12 TVL students of ACLC Guadalupe. This study is limited

only to the players of Mobile Legends in Grade 12 TVL. The respondents will be

the selected students from ACLC Guadalupe Campus students.

This chapter provides a description of the methodology that was used in

the study. Specifically, this chapter briefly discusses the research design,

sources of data, instrumentation and data collection, and tools for data analysis.

Research Design

The study used the descriptive research design because the study

involves the factors that may affect the academic performance of students.

Descriptive research design is a scientific method which involves observing and

describing the behavior of a subject without influencing it in any way. This

research design helped the researchers to collect and analyze the responses of

the respondents to the checklist designed by the researchers and to obtain their

views, opinions, and perceptions to the subject.

The process of descriptive research went beyond collection and tabulation

of data. It involved the elements or interpretation of the meaning or significance

of what was described. Thus, description was often involved with measurement,

classification, interpretation and evaluation.

Data Gathering Procedures

The most essential part of a conducted study was known by the perceived effects

to every individual. In order to gather information, The researchers went to their

 30

respondents and ask them about the Positive Effects of Mobile Games (Mobile

Legends) to their behavior and health based on their experienced.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This was the crucial part because you needed to validate the results

properly without certain alteration or biased. It was where the analysis of all

respondents summed up together and combined in a proper manner of their
