Conclusion

This study is designed to figure out the effects of mobile game addiction to the

academic performance of the students. Based on the data collected, researchers concluded

that there are positive and negative effects of absenteeism to the academic performance of

the students.

Mobile game addiction does not have a direct effect on students’ understanding,

both male and female, during class discussions same as to their performance tasks and

written outputs. They focus more on their studies. Most of the respondents have stated that

they understand their lessons despite being into mobile games. Moreover, they participate

well on their given performance tasks and achieve an average score on their exams.

Playing mobile games has a positive effect on the social behavior of respondents.

They still do have their companions actually and can mingle adequately. They do not

neglect their home and school responsibilities for mobile games. However, they consume

most of their time with their peers instead of spending some time with their family.

Recommendation

For the students, this study focuses on the effects of mobile game addiction to their

academic performances. Hence, this study should present them the necessary information

they needed to know that pertain to the said addiction not only to their academic

performance but also to their social relationships.

 For the teachers, this study should serve as an additional reference to know the

effects of mobile game addiction to their students. Furthermore, they can use this study to

determine some ways to help students who are suffering to the said addiction.

For future researchers, there are a number of gaps in this research that follow from

the findings and would benefit from further research, including realist evaluation to extend

and further test the theory the researchers have developed.
