CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background and Rationale
The gaming industry, which is becoming more popular due to online games, has been
influenced by advanced technology in the 21st century. To experience a new form of
entertainment, they’ve engaged millions of users on the Internet. There are a lot of people in the
Philippines who like online gaming, and they’re mostly students.
A well-known MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game created for mobile devices is
called Mobile Legends. It is a 5v5 Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) for iOS and
Android devices that offers a variety playable heroes, games modes, and with controls optimized
for touchscreen devices. In the year 2020, Philippines were in Ranked No. 2 in the game highest
number of download which have a 41.2 million or 15% of the app’s total number of downloads.
(De Guzman, 2020).
It has gained significant popularity among adolescents and young adults worldwide,
including grade 10, students. The game features strategic gameplay, teamwork, and competitive
elements, which often captivate the attention of its players.
In recent years, concerns have been raised about the potential impact of Mobile Legends
on the academic performance of students. As mobile devices become more accessible, students
are increasingly engaging in gaming activities, sometimes leading to excessive playing habits
that can interfere with their academic commitments.

2
According to the research conducted by Garcia (2020), it was discovered that students who
develop an addiction to Mobile Legends may experience negative effects on their academic
performance. When students spend excessive amounts of time playing this game, they often
neglect their school responsibilities, resulting in lower grades, and in some cases, even failing
grades. Additionally, students may also experience a decline in their ability to learn and
concentrate, further impacting their academic abilities.
However, Mobile Legends offers benefits to students in terms of enhancing their
problem-solving abilities. The game requires players to employ strategies to succeed, stimulating
their mental activity and aiding them in making decisions under challenging circumstances.
Additionally, the game's time constraints foster quick thinking and decision-making skills.
Furthermore, research indicates that engaging in online games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
can augment students' creativity levels (Jana, 2020).
Recent studies have demonstrated that playing online games, particularly Multiplayer
Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games, can enhance an individual's eye-hand coordination
abilities. Engaging in these games requires strategic thinking, focused attention, sensorimotor
skills, and collaborative teamwork, all of which exert significant cognitive demands on the brain.
The research findings indicated that players of MOBA games exhibit accelerated information
processing, allocate greater cognitive resources to individual visual stimuli, and effectively
distribute limited cognitive capacity across successive stimuli over time (Kershner, 2020).
This study aims to investigate the relationship between Mobile Legends usage and the
academic performance of grade 10 students in Calubian National High School.

Statement of the Problem
This study primarily aimed to answer the following research questions:
1. How does the presence of Mobile Legends among grade 10 students of Calubian National
High School influence their study habits and self-discipline?
2. Does playing Mobile Legends during study or class hours affects the ability to
concentrate and focus on their academic responsibilities?
3. What are the negative effects of playing Mobile Legends among the academic
performance of grade 10 students in Calubian National High School?
Conceptual Framework
Mobile Legends, a popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, has gained
significant attention among adolescents in recent years. With its accessibility and engaging
gameplay, it has become a common recreational activity. However, concerns have emerged
regarding its potential impact on students’ academic performance. This conceptual framework
aims to explore the relationship between Mobile Legends usage and academic performance
among Grade 10 students at Calubian National High School. This study will be based on the
following key elements:

Calubian National High School that address the impact of
gaming on academic performance.
5

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents a review of concepts, principles, published and unpublished
materials, and other research studies, which are related to the present study and served as the
resources and basis for the analysis and interpretation of data.
Related Studies
Online games influence many Filipino students in many ways. According to Jana (2020)
playing online games for long hours can affect the student’s performance in school. Studies have
shown that a higher amount of time spent in playing onscreen games can be associated with
lower academic performance. A survey has shown that 47% of heavy online players got poor
grades, while 23% of light users performed better than them. However, some study said it
enhances the student creativity and critical thinking. The action in the online games prepares the
gamers to make smart decisions in split seconds. Furthermore, they need acute attention to cope
with unexpected changes in the game.
In recent times, the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game has gained immense popularity
among the youth. It is believed by some researchers that this game can have a positive impact on
student learning and education as a whole. According to Bautista (2019), Mobile Legends: Bang
Bang offers players an opportunity to enhance and refine skills that are applicable in real-life
situations. Examples of such skills include strategic thinking, critical thinking, and multitasking.
By actively participating in the game, players can develop and nurture these skills, ultimately
benefiting their overall cognitive abilities.

8
Achieving the victory is the primary objective of this game. Preparing a good plan design using
the ideas in your head can really be a good help to achieve it. Together with teammates
connected by a server, the game also promotes teamwork and social connectivity.
In Jana's (2020) research, it is stated that participating in online games like Mobile Legends:
Bang Bang can enhance the problem-solving abilities of students. The game incorporates
strategic elements that players must understand in order to succeed, stimulating their mental
engagement and enabling them to make effective decisions when faced with challenging
circumstances. Additionally, the game often presents time constraints, which promote the
development of quick thinking and decision-making skills. Furthermore, various studies have
indicated that playing online games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang can foster the creativity of
students.
Research has demonstrated that engaging in online games, particularly Multiplayer Online
Battle Arena (MOBA) games, can enhance an individual's eye-hand coordination skills. These
games place significant cognitive demands on the brain as they require strategic planning,
selective attention, sensorimotor skills, and teamwork (Kershner, 2020). Consequently, players
of such games exhibit improved information processing speed, allocate greater cognitive
resources to visual stimuli, and effectively distribute limited cognitive resources across
consecutive stimuli over time.
Furthermore, online games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang can serve as a source of
stress relief. Some students play these games purely for enjoyment and excitement, using them as
a coping mechanism after facing stressful situations, such as a heavy academic workload (Scott,
2020).
9
However, a study conducted by Garcia (2020) revealed that students who become addicted
to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang may experience negative academic consequences. Excessive
dedication to playing the game can result in neglecting school activities, leading to lower grades
and, in some cases, failing grades. Moreover, addiction to the game can contribute to
deteriorating learning abilities and concentration problems among students.
Tumbokon (2020) found a negative relationship between academic achievement and the
overall time spent playing video games. Students addicted to online games tend to engage in
arguments with teachers, have frequent conflicts with friends, and achieve lower grades
compared to those who play less frequently. Some students even admitted to skipping their
homework in favor of playing the game.
Additionally, Dumrique and Castillo (2019) emphasized that while unexpected learning
can occur through playing online games, improper usage can lead to distractions in school. The
studies highlighted the vulnerability of the human brain to disruption, emphasizing that playing
such games can have a significant impact on students' academic performance.
