 ABSTRACT

Online games date their beginnings to the invention of computers and the world's Fair in

1939-1940. The first computer game was Nitron, which was developed in 1951.

However, playing games alone is not much fan as playing with friends or other players.

Online gaming became increasingly popular in the 1970's when multiplayer was limited

to players on the same screen. PLATO release the strategic game "Empire" and

Spasim, a 32- player 3D multiplayer space shooter game, to advance technology

towards the internet and multiplayer online gaming. LAN networks and the internet were

opened to multiplayer games in 1993, leading to the rise of mobile gaming.

The first widely played multiplayer games League of Legends for the PC and Clash of

Clans, with Call of Duty, PUBG, LOL and mobile Legends being the most played

multiplayer games. Due to this many Grades 11 students made it their hobby which

caused to have positive and negative effects or impact on their academic performance.
 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Many of us know that in this generation, online gaming played a big role in our

lives. Online gaming is one of the most commonly used recreational hobbies of many

people (Islam et al., 2020). Online gaming has been quite an obsession that causes

effects in lesser performance on each and every person in this generation. Nowadays,

people have easy access to internet connection, which makes it possible to connect

gadgets and computers. Before, students were told to sleep early so they could grow

quickly and attain the heights they wanted. Today, they can go on for days without sleep

by only playing games. Some spend more time gaming that you can see them playing in

the supermarket, department store or, playing in the church or gathering, Fast Food

joints, while commuting in the train, bus, jeep or other public transport. You can see

them everywhere playing games. Playing games while attending Online Classes, while

on vacation, while on the ferry, while sitting on a bench, pretending to watch a

basketball league but playing mobile games instead.

In most cases, they say it’s a way of expressing themselves as a scapegoat from

reality. According to Kuss and Griffiths (2011) 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 most especially students who are stressed out

because after doing school work and studies. The technological advancement of

internet connectivity in the Philippines plays a vital role in the academic life of students.

Usually, students who spend a lot of hours playing tend to be obsessed with it. Most of

the students said that playing a game was the only way they can enjoy their own day

and time.

Due to this, many grade 11 students spent their time playing online games rather

than studying and now they struggle to focus on school work. That's why this study is all

about "the impacts of online gaming to the academic performance of grade 11 hybrid

students" which can have negative effects on their academic performance.

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

A. This study aims to know if online gaming has a positive or negative impact towards

the student’s behavior and identify how it will affect their academic performance.

B. To know the addiction level of online games among grade 11 hybrid students

C. To propose a solution for students who no longer sleep on time because of online

games.

D. To understand the effects of online games on students while they are studying.
1.2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Jackson et al. (2008) found that time spent playing video games was a poor

predictor of academic performance, and that those who played online games frequently

performed worse academically than those who played less frequently. The use of

games, however, is directly linked to a rise in visual-spatial abilities, which are

frequently important in the fields of science, math, technology, and engineering. In one

study, Anand (2007) found a negative correlation between students' SAT and GWA

scores and the amount of time they spent playing online video games. This indicates

that GWA and SAT scores fell as playing time increased According to Anderson and

Dill's (2007) investigation into video games and aggression, playing them not only has

an immediate effect on performance but also raises aggression levels, which are

frequently linked to behavioral issues at school and subpar academic results. Wack and

Tantleff-Dunn (2009) discovered a negative correlation as well, though the relationship

between GWA and academic performance was not significant in their study. According

to Skoric et al. (2009), moderate gaming participation can improve academic

performance as opposed to game addiction, which results in subpar academic

performance. (2008), p. 63 (Rivera). If the content being consumed is positive, positive

results can be anticipated. If the content is negative, negative results are to be

anticipated. The study looked into various pieces of research to come to this conclusion.

Research on the social effects of video games is also contradictory (Oliveros, R. P., and

M. T. Sapio. 2007). Some studies claim that video games share characteristics with
addictive behaviors like gambling that have detrimental social repercussions. As a

result, it is essentially up to each researcher or clinician to determine what constitutes a

computer addiction symptom.

The potential of video gaming to influence students’ lives is undisputed. Whether

recreational or educational (Brookmeyer et al, 2009; Chuang & Chen, 2009; Lee &

LaRose, 2007), violent or nonviolent (Ferguson & Kilburn, 2010; Fleming & Rickwood,

2001; Huesmann, 2010), video gaming has become an integral part of North American

children’s lives outside of school. Over 90% of all youth in the United States play video

games (Hagedorn & Young, 2011, “Gaming Addiction,” para. 1). The negative

correlations that have been found between video gaming and overall school

performance are augmented by reports of other school-related skills and behaviors.

Monke (2009) purported that the increased distances of time and space afforded by

worldwide online games would interfere with students’ developing normal perceptions of

time and space. Anand (2007) found that video game addicts tended to fall asleep in

class and fall behind in their assignments. Gentile (2009) reported correlations between

pathological gaming and attention deficits in class. Griffiths (2010a) and Sharif and

Sargent (2006) found that video gaming creates time conflicts that reduce the amount of

time that gamer devote to homework. The 425 (10-19-year-old) boy gamer in

Cummings and Vandewater’s (2007) study spent an average of 30% less time reading

for every hour that they played video games on weekdays, and the 109 girls spent an

average of 34% less time doing homework for every hour that they played video games

on weekdays. Clearly, there is evidence in the literature that video gaming correlates

with diminished school performance.

Performance of Selected Grade 11 in Hybrid Students on Makati City.

1.5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The study primarily aims to find out the impact of Online Gaming on the student’s

Academic Performance. Specifically, it will answer the following sub-problems:

1.) Do you spend more time gaming than studying?

a. How much do you spend your time playing online games in a day?

2.) Do you sleep early?

3.) Do you find games more entertaining than studying?

4.). Do you think that playing online games have an impact on your behavioral issue

and academic performance?

6.) Does online gaming conflicts with your time management?

1.6 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY

The study primarily aims to find out the impact of Online Gaming on the student’s

Academic Performance. Specifically, it will answer the following sub-problems:

Our assumption is that online gaming has an overall negative impact on

academic performance in selected Grade 11 hybrid students in Makati City. This is due

to the fact that online gaming can lead to distractions, decrease in concentration, and

lack of motivation for academic tasks and also lack of sleep. Additionally, students may

spend too much time playing online games and not enough time on their school work,

leading to poorer academic performance. It is also assumed that the study will examine

the impact of online gaming on the academic performance of selected Grade 11 hybrid

students in Makati city by analyzing the frequency and time spent playing online games,

the types of games played, and the effect of playing online games on the academic

performance of students in terms of grades, test scores, and other indicators. The study

will also consider the potential benefits of online gaming, such as mental stimulation,

problem-solving skills, and social interaction, as well as the potential drawbacks, such

as distraction from school work, addiction, and negative impact on physical and mental

health. Furthermore, the study will explore the role of parents and teachers in helping

students to balance their online gaming activities with their academic responsibilities.

Finally, the study may suggest possible strategies for educators and parents to help

students make the most of online gaming while protecting their academic performance.
1.7 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The study primarily aims to find out the impact of Online Gaming on the student’s

Academic Performance. Specifically, it will answer the following sub-problems:

This study needs the following inputs. Under the demographic profile are the

respondent's age, sex, and civil status. Secondly, senior high school students'

comparison time spent on gaming or in studying and how much time they spend playing

online games. Then, their sleep schedule whether they sleep early or not? Fourthly, if

Grade 11 Students find online gaming more entertaining or not and how it can be

entertaining. Also, if playing online games has an impact on a Grade 11 Hybrid

student's behavior and academic performance which can be a positive/negative impact.

Then, if the Grade 11 Students can maintain one's grades and on how the students will

be able to maintain their grades. We want to explore and solve this topic because we

want to prove that the virtual world and playing video games can affect their academic

performance and not only their academic performance but also their future depends on

it. We want to solve this problem because as students, especially in today's generation,

we want to help our fellow students and also our society in the easiest way that we can

do. Lastly, if online gaming conflicts on a student's time management and how. This

information will undergo the process by choosing Five educators from Grade 11 Hybrid

Students that are willing to participate and provide a contribution to this study and by

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This section aims to highlight articles, blogs, newspapers clips and excerpts that

are related to the impact of Online Gaming to the Academic Performance of Selected

Grade 11 in Hybrid Students on Makati City. This part of the study shows different

perspectives of the authors, works and studies towards to their specific topic that they

were studying or researching

Foreign

Related newspaper article of Newzoo (2017), mentioned that more than two

billion people spend their leisure-time activity by playing online games. This is because

the players are provided with entertainment and fun, which may lead to addiction. Some

tasks are given to the players to discover and solve. They have to play until they win to

move to the next level, and if they lose, they can make other attempts to win. This

scenario may result in health problems, both physically and mentally. And found that

young people nowadays opt for the virtual world rather than the real world to satisfy

their desire in gaming. Therefore, addiction to Internet gaming is a mental disorder that

has been identified and described in several ways.

 Related newspaper article of Griffiths (2005), claimed that bio-psychosocial

mechanisms contribute to addiction. Such addiction may include Internet gaming, which

comprises actions in adjusting the mood through individual behavior, tolerance, the

occurrence of symptoms of withdrawal at the end of the activity, and interpersonal and

intrapersonal issues as a result of the individual’s actions and experience. Griffiths

Indicated that 95% of Internet users are adults with college or graduate degrees.

Meanwhile, on the global platform, online games have become very popular, especially

among the young generation, leading to the proliferation of online game addiction.

Indeed, the most addictive Internet activities nowadays are online gaming.

Related newspaper article of Perlman (2004), claimed that loneliness occurs due

to a lack of social experience. People have very low self-esteem if they feel very lonely,

resulting from the absence of productive and supportive relationships. In this situation,

they tend to use cyberspace and the Internet to play online games rather than

communicating interpersonally through social interaction. They tend to use the Internet

as a defense mechanism and as an alternative to avoid becoming lonely. Indeed, some

previous studies have found an association between online game addiction and

loneliness. Argued that the young generation looks at online gaming as a very popular

trend from an electronic entertainment point of view. In addition, Block (2008) echoed

that since there are no official determinants for identifying an individual as an addict,

several studies in this area look at online game addiction as a continuous concept

where its addiction levels range from low to high.

Local

In relation on newspaper article of Maslog C. of 2011, one social problem that

has been observed is that the Internet café observed is that the Internet café has

become mainly game centers. About one-half to two-thirds of the computer in a typical

internet café, according to one study, are devoted to games (violent and gory games).

The use of the remaining computers was roughly split between browsing, email, online

chat, word processing and research.

In relation on newspaper article of Valaitis (2005), the use of computers and the

Internet can aid communities’ by supporting communication and access to information,

thereby building social capital and community capacity. Using computers can assist

the community planning process, community participation, and information sharing.

Computer-mediated communication can build community awareness, encourage local

decision making and dialogue between groups, and support disadvantaged

communities. Status barriers can be reduced, and online communication with

disenfranchised groups, such as women, people of color, and those with disabilities, can

be promoted.

2.2 REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

This section aims to highlight research papers, theses and dissertation that

are related to the impact of Online Gaming to the Academic Performance of Selected

Grade 11 in Hybrid Students on Makati City. This

part of the study shows different perspectives of the authors, works and studies

towards to their specific topic that they were studying or researching.

Foreign

In a related study (Anitha Rajathi & Ravisankar, 2022) Online gaming is simply

the playing of an online video game over the internet, generally with friends. Online

games can be played on any number of implements from dedicated video games

consoles with such as PlayStations, Xboxes, and Nintendo Switches, to PCs, laptops

and mobile phones.

Study discovered that online recreation features a vast impact among them

concerning on their educational performance that led them to poor or low grade and

physical distress also. The majority of study indicates that online gambling had a

negative effect on their study and health. College 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.at

the end of these studies it was found that playing online games affects the academic

performance of the students.

Also, in a related study (Zirawaga, Olusanya & Maduku 2017) Gaming in education is

also viewed as Associate in Nursing interference to show however its role I education is

to extend students’ motivation and engagement, to boost visual skills, to enhance

students’ interaction and collaboration talents with their peers and to change them to

use gambling values during a real-world scenario. The look of games like word search,
crossword, puzzle, and brain teasers associate in nursing sloppy puzzle victimization an

open supply tool known as Propose is additionally mentioned during this paper.

Local

Based on a related study (Cabrillos et al.) data gathered by the researchers and

as the respondents being assessed, it is clear that the Academic Performance of the

students is affected when they played online gaming. It affects their academic

performance in terms of attendance, oral participation, and performance task. To sum

up, with the result, the respondents’ academic performance in terms of attendance

affects the most with the total grand mean of 2.15 which means "poor" in the verbal

interpretation. On the other hand, the oral participation and performance task of the

respondents got "fair" in the verbal interpretation which is not most likely affected

despite their involvement in playing online games.

Found out that there is an effect on academic performance Among Grade12

Humanities and Social Sciences Students in Sapa Anding National High School -Ramon

Magsaysay Ext. when they are fond of playing online games. We found out that the

students cannot focus on their studies, they cannot do their home works as well as their

projects and that they have low grades. Out of 30 respondents, 26 replied that they are

affected in their academic performance by playing online games. From this, the

researchers conclude that a number of students playing online games could have an

effect in their academic performance. Though the 26 respondents replied that they’re

affected, it does not necessarily mean that they are poorly performing in their studies.
Most of the students play an hour to two of online video games every day since they

find it as a source for recreation.

2.2 OVERALL SYNTHESIS

Literature and certain have supported the researcher's topic and will help to

prove that Online gaming has a huge impact on the selected Grade 11 student's

Academic Performance around the world. The percentage of academic condition are
