THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Several countries, including the Philippines, have been suffering from the
COVID-19 pandemic for almost two years. It all started when the first known
infections from SARS-CoV-2 were discovered in Wuhan, China, although the
original source of viral transmission to humans remains unclear. COVID-19 is
caused by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2) virus strain (Sharma, et al., 2020). The first suspected case in the
Philippines was investigated on January 22, 2020, and 633 suspected cases were
reported as of March 1.
Since the pandemic happened, people’s way of living has changed. The
government started implementing lockdowns and policies to help lessen the
spread and transmission of COVID-19. One of the most widely affected is the
educational system of the country since the pandemic caused the closure of
schools. Online classes are the new mode of learning in the country. A health crisis
has shut down the entire global economy, and an education crisis that nearly
millions of children suffer in coping from the new learning system because of the
pandemic.
Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion │2021-2022 1

GEN. TIBURCIO DE LEON NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
As a result of the pandemic, remote learning arises. Remote learning is,
simply put, where the student and the educator are not physically present in a
traditional classroom environment. Rather, instruction is disseminated through
technology tools such as discussion boards, video conferencing, and virtual
assessments. (The Albert Team, 2022). It means that students have easy access
to their gadgets which also means that they can also have easy access to play
different online games. According to Schurman (2022), Online gaming can refer to
any type of game that someone can play through the Internet or over a computer
network. Most of the time, it refers to video games played over the internet, where
multiple players are in different locations across the world. Playing online games
is such a cliché in this generation, especially to students. This serves as a great
source of entertainment and a way to fight boredom also, communities from these
different games can be a safe space for students to interact with other people and
make new friends.
However, at this time when studying is being held online, there are also
negative, consequences to spending too much time playing online games. It has
the potential to become an addiction, causing people to play with it all of the time
and ignore other duties such as attending online classes and completing
schoolwork. Students’ learnings take place unexpectedly, but incorrect use of
online games can lead to issues such as being distracted in online classes or

worst, not attending their online class because they spend too much time playing
online games. According to Rock (2009), all these technologies are very good at
distracting people. In line with this development, online gaming was created to give
entertainment to people.
We, the researchers, conduct this research because we want to determine
how online gaming affects the online class attendance of students during the
pandemic on the new online learning mode. The researchers also want to provide
the importance of being informed about having a good attendance of the students
despite their situation and playing online gaming. Furthermore, some of the effects
of online gaming on the students are having the energy or motivation, developing
skills, and providing social benefits. These effects may help the students to give
them good online class attendance and also can affect their academic
performances especially in terms of motivation. Besides, the researchers also
wanted to conduct this research because nowadays, students are more focused
on their gadgets and the internet due to the online class created by the pandemic,
making it easier for students to access online gaming.
Hence, this research purpose is to let them know the effects of online
gaming and give them an awareness of how this online gaming affects their
performance. We, the researchers will find as many as we can to give a solution

to this specific study or problem. This study tries to find out how they will deal with
online gaming. We can learn a lot about what will happen to students’ attendance
if they play online gaming by performing a study on the effects of online gaming on
their online class attendance.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the effects of online gaming to the class
attendance of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students of
Gen. T. De Leon National High School.
In this study, the researchers would like to answer the following questions:
1. What online games do HUMSS students play?
2. How long do HUMSS students spend in playing online games?
3. When do HUMSS students commonly play online games?
4. What is the status of online class attendance of HUMSS students?
5. What are the effects of online games to the online class attendance of the
students?

Significance of the Study
This study aims to determine the effects of online gaming to the online
class attendance of HUMSS students during pandemic.
This study may be of great benefit specifically to the following sectors:
The Students
This study may help the students to be aware of what would happen or what
will be the effect of online gaming on their online class attendance. They will also
learn what to do first when it comes to learning, what should be their priority as a
learner, who should prioritize learning before playing online games.
The Parents
The parents of those students may also benefit from this study in terms of
how they will watch their children when they play online games. When it comes to
online learning, this is also where they may focus more on their children. They will
be able to see what their child is up to during the school day, and it will also assist
them in guiding their child to be more focused in attending online school.
The Teachers
Teachers or advisers may benefit too because they are also the first to
notice the student’s activity in the online class, they will also notice if the student
is able to attend or pass on time of the activity or task. They can live and teach

peacefully without worrying about what is happening to their students in terms of
attending online classes.
Future Researchers
This research may help future researchers in both guiding them and gaining
an understanding of the study they will conduct in the future. It also provides the
energy of motivation for the researchers to be successful. They can also get some
learnings and ideas from this study that they can apply and use as a support to
their chosen topic.
Scope and Delimitation
Our study focuses on the Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences
Students (HUMSS) of Gen. T. De Leon National High School. The benefits and
consequences of the effects of online gaming to the online class attendance of
Humanities and Social Sciences Students (HUMSS) will be answered by the
chosen participants. Not all students are the same, some are having a hard time
managing it because of some reason, while others are handling it very well. That
is why we are conducting this study to know how students can maintain their good
attendance despite playing online games. To know this, we, the researchers will
select Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students who play
online games from the given school to know their insights and if they’re struggling
with this matter or not. They will answer some given questionnaires provided by

the researchers to gather data and information by using Google Forms and
Facebook Messenger.
Definition of Terms
For the purpose of clarification, the important and some unfamiliar terms
used in this study have been defined.
The following terms are:
Attendance – It is the concept of individuals or groups of people showing up at a
specific area for a previously organized event.
Boredom – The state of being weary and restless through lack of interest.
Covid-19 – A highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2
virus. SARS-CoV-2 is thought to spread from person to person through droplets
released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It may also be
spread by touching a surface with the virus on it and then touching one’s mouth,
nose, or eyes, but this is less common.
Disseminated – It means to spread information, knowledge, opinions widely.
Effects – A change that is a result or consequence of an action or other cause.
HUMSS – Short term for Humanities and Social Sciences. This strand is
designed for students who would want to engage in a college degree in liberal
arts and education. This strand focuses on the study of societal issues and
changes as well as human conditions.

Pandemic – Prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole
world; epidemic over a large area.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
RELATED LITERATURE
Online Gaming
The use of technology is continuously increasing over time. The current
number of smartphone users in the world today is 6.648 billion, and this means
83.72% of the world’s population owns a smartphone. (Statista, 2022) Because of
this, the use of online games also increased. Online gaming can refer to any type
of game that someone can play through the Internet or over a computer network.
Most of the time, it refers to video games played over the Internet, where multiple
players are in different locations across the world. (Schurman, 2022)
As technology evolves, online games are also evolving. MUDs, the first of
which was founded in 1978 and was originally confined to an internal network until
becoming connected to ARPANet in 1980, are an early example of online games
dating back to the early days of packet-based computer networking in the 1970s.
As the decade progressed, the cost of technology, servers, and the Internet fell so
low that fast Internet became widespread, allowing previously unheard genres
such as massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) to gain popularity. When the
debut of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (2017), Fortnite Battle Royale (2017),
and Apex Legends (2017), the battle royale game genre became extremely
popular (2019). With the release of Call of Duty: Warzone in the 2020s, the genre's
popularity grew even further (2020). Within months of their release, each game
had tens of millions of players. (Wikipedia, 2022)
A lot of people of different ages are users of online games and they know
how it works. But there are also some people who are not familiar with how online
games work. Referring to Nirbhaya in his article “How Does Online Gaming
Works?”, Online gaming allows many individuals to play spirited or supportive
games on a computer over the Internet or a local area network. Internet gaming
connects you with players all over the world and creates an environment for you
to compete in and feel like you're in a genuine situation. You can subdue an
adversary of this sort who does not yet exist in this realm through online gaming.
In net games, the action between players is controlled by servers, while graphics
and sound are handled by your computer. There are numerous internet games
from which to choose. With the help of a fast Internet connection, you can play
complex games quickly. Online gaming necessitates the use of a network that
consists of one or more servers. Clients are the computers used by the gamers.
Clients communicate with the server over the Internet or a private network. The
server functions as an online gaming organization that keeps track of a player's
chosen game, maintains player records and facilitates player gossip.
Online Gaming in the Philippines

Just like how popular online games are in other countries, online gaming is
a flourishing industry in the Philippines. According to Statista Research
Department (2021), revenues are expected to expand at an exponential rate in
2020, compared to previous years. Gaming, whether on consoles, mobile devices,
or personal computers, has become increasingly popular among Filipinos,
particularly among the younger generation. Despite a strong preference for utilizing
mobile phones for gaming, owing to the widespread availability of low-cost
smartphones and mobile internet infrastructures, gaming consoles continue to
have a market. In the following five years, the mobile gaming industry is likely to
develop even more, with projected revenues of 1.52 billion dollars in 2025.
Despite the global pandemic's devastation, online gaming has grown into a
thriving global industry with a bright investment future. With its large global
following, regular gaming experience improvements, and high-tech businesses'
competitive advances, it appears that the multi-billion dollar gaming industry will
not be slowing down anytime soon. In fact, there are teams like Black List
International who will represent the Philippines for MLBB at the 2022 Southeast
Asian Games esports event after they emerged victorious at the selection
competition. (Lozano, 2022) According to ABS-CBN news article written by
Coloma (2021), the Philippines has the second biggest number of Mobile Legends
players, coming after Indonesia, according to JJ Lin, the manager for Montoon.

Referring to Madarang in her article, “Philippines remains a top community
for gaming in 2021, Twitter says”, the Philippines was among the top ten countries
that tweeted the most about gaming in 2021. There were more than 2.4 billion
tweets regarding gaming on Twitter's "2021 Year in Review," according to the
microblogging network. In the fourth quarter of that year, there were also more
gaming discussions. Moreover, Maurizio Barbieri, head of Sports and Gaming
Partnerships for SEA and Greater China of Twitter, stated that people are
discovering new methods to interact with various communities as we adjust to
living in the midst of a pandemic, and one of them is through gaming. The growing
number of gaming-related conversations on Twitter reflects the public's growing
interest in various games, esports teams, and gaming celebrities.
Distance Learning
The continuous increase of COVID–19 cases in the Philippines is the
reason for the long suspension of classes in all schools, the authorities have
decided to implement distance learning so that students can continue their
education in the midst of the pandemic. Because the students are all at their
homes, this type of setup does not require face-to-face interaction for them to
learn, and it is the safest approach to continue classes. According to Mümine Kaya
Keleş and Selma Ayşe Özel (2016), distance learning can equalize access to

education. It makes information and lecture notes open to everyone and minimizes
the costs of stationery. Distance learning can equalize access to education and
makes information and lecture notes open to everyone. Distance learning
minimizes the costs of stationery, it increases the effectiveness of education
through the use of items such as sound and image. The main goal of distance
education is to overcome barriers of place and time. Learners may live in isolated,
less‐populated, and nonurban, rural areas and have no access to education. Other
learners may have ready access to a private school or college but that college
might not offer the course of study needed by that learner. Distance learning allows
education to reach those who are not able to physically attend courses in
universities.
Studying or learning from home is very beneficial for a lot of students
amidst the pandemic where they can be more confident because they’re at a less
stressed environment. Distance learning can also teach them and give them
learnings about good time management. According to Emma (2020), although
students may miss extracurricular activities and social relationships from school,
many have reported feeling less stressed while schooling from home. Students
can study where they feel most comfortable and can video conference to their
classes at the click of a button. While schooling at home, it is also easier to
complete other hobbies and housework that otherwise would have been placed on

the back burner. By being at home, many students are able to get things done in
a safe and relaxing environment. Students now have the freedom to pick and
choose their schedules. They are able to learn at their own pace in a relaxed
environment. Students who learn better in the morning after a good night’s sleep
may choose to tackle their harder subjects right when they wake up. Students who
are night owls may prefer to wait until later in the day, once they’ve fully woken up
and are at full mental capacity.
Because of distance learning, the students are able to choose if they can
study through an online class or by modular, they’re also able to manage their time,
especially in terms of their online study. According to Papadopoulou (2020), one
of the major distance learning programs’ importance is the fact that learners can
connect at any time into an e-learning environment and learn at their own pace.
Most e-learning programs are asynchronous. However, they often include
synchronous tools that allow learners to interact face-to-face and collaborate at
scheduled times. Because most e-learning environments are generally self-paced,
students must be very committed to studying by themselves and manage their time
effectively. Shared social spaces in the form of blogs and collaboratively edited
documents are also used in educational settings.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Distance Learning

Distance learning is major assistance in terms of safety for both students
and teachers because it can be easily accessed via the internet and can provide
a safe learning environment in the midst of a pandemic. According to Gautam
(2020), teachers can provide lessons to students more efficiently through online
learning. Teachers can employ a variety of online learning tools, such as videos,
PDFs, and podcasts, as part of their lesson preparations. Teachers can become
more efficient educators by expanding their lesson plans beyond standard
textbooks to include online resources. Another benefit of online education is that it
allows students to take classes wherever they want. It also enables schools to
reach out to a larger network of pupils rather than being limited by geographical
limits. Online lectures can also be recorded, preserved, and shared for later
viewing. This allows students to access the instructional materials whenever it is
convenient for them.
Both teachers and students may not also benefit from distance learning.
Typically, some of them are encountering technical difficulties as a result of a poor
internet connection and some students cannot afford to participate in online
learning. According to Sam Thompson (2021), the most common drawbacks of
online learning are technical issues. Audio, video and connection difficulties are
the most common causes of online lesson disruption. Students have been forced
to download and/or install time-consuming apps or technology in the past, which

resulted in inconsistent results. Fortunately, online lessons may now be accessible
by simply clicking a link without the need to download anything. The quality of
Internet connections around the world has vastly increased. Furthermore, people's
devices have improved tremendously.
Changes in Behavior of Online Gamers
When a student plays an online game, it is expected that the game will
have an impact on their attitude and behavior, and you can determine by observing
whether this is good or harmful to their development. As mentioned by Heiden in
her article “The Association Between Video Gaming and Psychological
Functioning” (2019), potentially problematic video gaming was found to be
associated with positive affect and social relationships while playing but also with
psychological symptoms, maladaptive coping strategies, negative affectivity, low
self-esteem, a preference for solitude, and poor school performance. Including
gamers’ reasons for playing video games and their preferred game genres helped
deepen the understanding of the specific and differential associations between
video gaming and psychological health. According to the article “The Negative
Impact of Online Games on Student’s Behavior” (2020), online games have
addictive properties, causing negative impacts on the behavior of gamers. Seeing
the negative impact that is caused by online games such as violence, pornography,
theft, individualism, and even indifference to the obligations, of course, is needed

a solution to reduce or even overcome the negative impact. It also mentioned that
gamers who have addicted do not concentrate on their learning. They play games
when their teacher teaches in class. They do not pay attention to what their teacher
said before, so when they are given the test, they do not know the answer to the
question. As a result, it may lead to a decrease in their learning achievement.
RELATED STUDIES
Effects of Online Games on Students
As eloquently stated by Dahacker (2013), online gaming culture is
sometimes chastised for creating an environment that encourages cyberbullying,
violence, and bigotry. Some people are worried about gaming addiction or societal
stigma as well. Players of all ages, countries, and occupations have flocked to
online games. The scientific study of online gaming content, particularly gamer
interactions inside virtual societies in relation to everyday behaviors and social
events is possible. It has been stated that because online game players are
strangers to one another and have minimal communication, the experience of
individual players in an online game is not significantly different from playing with
artificial intelligence players. Online games, unlike purchased retail games, have
the issue of not being playable indefinitely because they require specific servers
to work.

Online Gaming: Impact on the Academic Performance and Social Behavior
of the Students in Polytechnic University of the Philippines Laboratory
High School.
As mentioned by Castillo (2017), the internet as a source of information
plays an important role in developing one’s mind and life experiences by creating
productive work in schools, offices, and even at home. Nowadays, this can be a
person’s most efficient strategic tool for enabling himself to take charge and cope
with the fast-growing technology. The fact that people live in an informative lifestyle
where everything is updated, the internet became one of the necessities of human
beings regardless of age or sex in today’s society.
Are Online Games Good For Students?
According to a study by the British National Literacy Trust, playing video
games provides young people with a way to read, improves their self-confidence
and reading skills, promotes their creativity and writing, supports positive
communication with family and friends, increases empathy, and supports mental
well-being. Since 95% of US teenagers own a smartphone, it is difficult to find
children who do not play any kind of game online. Playing is a great way for you
and your child to reconnect in a fun, stress-free environment, play, and spend time
together. (Michelle, 2021)

Effect of Addiction to Computer Games on Physical and Mental Health of
Female and Male Students of Guidance School in City of Isfahan
As indicated by Zamani (2009), computer games are the most popular
entertainment in modern societies and they target a variety of people of different
ages. The addiction to the rivalry and excitement of the games make them the
most common recreational programs for today’s teenagers so they do anything to
reach a higher level of the game, they immerse in the game so much that they are
completely separate from their surroundings. Challenging the obstacles and
reaching a higher level in the game, make the players excited, and losing the game
make them anxious.
SYNTHESIS
Because of the continual advancement of technology, more than 80% of
the world’s population now has access to smartphones, which coincides with the
rise of mobile gaming. As a result, an increasing number of people, particularly in
the Philippines, have access to online gaming. In the same way that internet
gaming has grown in popularity in other nations, it is now equally popular in the
Philippines. Despite the damage caused by the global pandemic, internet gaming
has developed into a booming global sector with a promising financial future.
According to Twitter’s “2021 Year in Review,” the microblogging network received
over 2.4 billion tweets on gaming. The Philippines was among the top ten countries

that tweeted the most about gaming in 2021. The growing number of gaming-
related conversations on Twitter reflects the public’s growing interest in various
games and celebrities.
While internet gaming continues to grow in the Philippines, distant learning
is being more widely adopted across the country at the same time also brought by
the spread of pandemic. Because of their pleasant home environment, pupils are
more comfortable in their class as a result of this type of setup. Distance learning
has the potential to have a significant impact on both students and teachers,
whether positive or negative. This will be a good benefit in terms of safety because
virtual communication is easy to access, but it will also be a negative for many
students and teachers due to inadequate internet connections.
When it comes to online gaming and its effects on players, we can receive
a lot of information from them or from ourselves. Playing online gaming has a
greater impact on the gamers’ mood and behavior. Playing online gaming can give
players the energy to be more socially active and participate more in their
academic matters, but online gaming does not always have a positive impact on
them. When a player becomes addicted to it in a negative way, they become rude
and problematic.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study was conducted as a qualitative study, in the reasons that this
qualitative research deals with words and meanings, the researchers chose it as
their method of choice. It focuses on obtaining as much data as possible from a
small sample size. It allows participants to express themselves while providing
data, making it a more flexible method than quantitative research. According to the
article "What is qualitative research and why should you use It?” (2017). Qualitative
techniques provide a level of insight that is difficult to achieve with a closed-
question survey. Respondents are free to share their experiences, thoughts, and
feelings without fear of being judged. Researchers will employ a descriptive
qualitative method by creating digital questionnaires using Google Forms that they
created, allowing the respondents to freely express their responses to the
questions without restriction and within the time frame set by the researchers. As
mentioned by Javed (2021). Descriptive research is a sort of study that aims to
describe the demographic situation or phenomenon that his research is centered
on. It aims to convey information regarding the research problem’s what, how,
when, and where, without focusing on the “why” of the problem.

Sample And Sampling Technique
In this study the researchers used a Non-Probability sampling simply
because all the participants of grade 12 humanities and social sciences students
in Gen. T. De Leon National High school will not all be given an equal chance to
participate to our study, the researchers will not select randomly but will select who
can fit or can relate to our study base on the researchers judgement. As eloquently
stated by Surbhi (2017). When in a non-probability sampling method, all the
individuals of the population are not given an equal opportunity of becoming a part
of the sample, the method is said to be Non-probability sampling. Under this
technique as such, there is no probability attached to the unit of the population and
the selection relies on the subjective judgment of the researcher. Under the
category of Non-probability, the researchers will utilize a Judgmental or Purposive
approach. In this procedure, the samples will be chosen solely on the basis of the
researcher’s knowledge and credibility. In other words, researchers select only
those individuals who they believe are suitable for participation in the study.
According to the article “An Introduction to Judgement Sampling” (2018).
Judgment sampling, also known as judgmental sampling or authoritative sampling,
is a non-probability sampling approach in which the researcher selects sample
units based on his prior knowledge or professional judgment. To refresh your
memory, non-probability sampling is when the samples for a study are collected in
a way that does not provide all members of the population an equal chance of
being chosen. The benefits of this strategy are that we don’t need to

gather a large number of participants because the research population has already
been established; all we have to do now is freely choose or select individuals from
the population who we believe will be appropriate for our study. To get these
students to join in our study, all we had to do was ask their permission to participate
or be a part of our research study, and then we would gather as many responses
as possible.
Research Instruments
This study will use open-ended questionnaires. According to Bandhari
(2021), Open-ended questions allow respondents to give answers in their own
words, because there are no restrictions on their choices, respondents can answer
in ways that researchers may not have otherwise considered.
To get the appropriate data needed, the researchers will have
questionnaire with two parts. Part 1 will ask the profile of the respondents. The tool
for the profile was made by the researchers, it will determine the name, age, email
address, gender and strand. The second part of the instruments consisting of 1 –
10 questions and corresponding blank spaces where to determine their response,
opinions or answers. There are a total of ten questions in this questionnaires. The
test must be completed within the day of the questionnaires being given.

The researchers will validating the instruments after the research
questionnaire was being produced to the research adviser in General Tiburcio de
Leon National High School. The researchers will administer this instrument
according to our research teacher’s instructions. The retrieval will automatically
received by the researchers once the participants are done answering.
Data Gathering Procedures
The researcher made use of the following procedures in conducting the
study:
1. The researchers provided and make a survey questionnaire form by Google
Form to the students who were the Grade 12 HUMSS students because of
their involvement in this study. However, they must provide first the
permission sheet/ letter for the selected respondents if they want to answer
it or not.
2. The researchers decided to distribute the survey questionnaire form to the
chosen Grade 12 HUMSS students.
3. The handling questionnaire will be done personally by the researchers and
will record their responses and answers. This procedure also enables the
researcher to conduct an online interview at the same time consecutively.

4. All the responses of the participants will be collected right at the moment
when it is distributed within the day.
Data Processing
The researchers will analyze and interpret the obtained data from the
respondents through coding since the study is a qualitative studying. Coding is the
process of labeling and organizing your qualitative data to identify different themes
and the relationships between them. When coding, you assign labels to words or
phrases that represent important themes in each response. These labels can be
words, phrases, or numbers; we recommend using words or short phrases, since
they’re easier to remember, skim, and organize. ( Medelyan, 2019 ). The data that
have been collected will be presented in a tabular form. Presenting data in tabular
form is efficient and easily shows the comparison among the data. According to
the article “ Data Analysis: Editing, Coding, Tabular Representation of Data”
(2019). Data presented in tabular form is efficient and allows for easy comparison
of data. Data presentation is really important nowadays. After all, everything that
is attractive to the eye always catches our attention. Data presentation refers to an
exhibition or the display of data in an appealing and informative manner that is
easy to understand.
