INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Bang Bang is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed
for mobile phones. The two opposing teams fight to reach and destroy the
enemy's base while defending their own base for control of a path, the three
"lanes" known as "top", "middle", and "bottom", which connects the bases.
Whether it's a child or an adult, excessive gaming steals away their
time for other more fulfilling and more productive things. If they abandon their
old hobbies that don't involve video games, are constantly preoccupied by the
idea of their next gaming session, these can lead to gaming addiction.
The students who are addicted to mobile legends may end up having
negative effects like receiving low grade in school and also they do not
passed the school activities on time that given by their teachers. It also affect
their health because they not eat on their with the fast development of mobile
technology, many functions of desktop computers have been transferred to
mobile devices like ipad and smartphone, which is especially the case for

game applications. Mobile video games refer to games played by either single
or multi players via online mobile devices. These games are particularly
popular when they can be downloaded for free (e.g., “freemium games,”
which are free but customers pay for extra features) (1). The latest China
Internet Network Information Center's (CNNIC) report revealed that the growth
rate of mobile online game has reached 9.6% and adolescents are the main
user group . (2). In comparison with most segments of society, adolescents
are more vulnerable to Internet-related addiction because of their
psychological and developmental characteristics, the easy access to Internet
with a portable device, and the positive expectation of mobile gaming. (3). It
has been demonstrated that video game addicts suffered poorer mental
health and cognitive functioning, and increased emotional difficulties, such as
enhanced depression and anxiety, as well as more social isolation . (4).
Despite this, relatively few studies have examined the relationship between
mobile game addiction and mental health outcomes. This is because, so far,
no measurement especially designed for mobile game addiction has been
developed. In literature, problematic mobile video gaming has been defined
as a phenomenon in which users strongly rely on mobile games and cannot
help playing them repeatedly over a comparatively long period. (5). Previous
studies of Internet gaming disorder (IGD) have mainly focused on traditional
online gaming addiction based on a desktop computer. However, recent

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Estancia,Iloilo

research has suggested that there were only moderate correlations between
the different forms of Internet addiction. (6). In addition, although mobile game
addiction has some similarity with traditional desktop computer online game
addiction, there are still obvious differences. Specifically, mobile video games
are characterized by portability, immediacy, and accessibility . (7), which may
increase the risk for addictive behavioural patterns and, thus, more severe
mental health problems that time and also in their sleeping time. As education
however, despite those inherent advantages, the internet also has its draw
backs. Although the internet could be very productive it can have drastically
opposing effects from some people who play online games the internet act as
an enabler.
Statement of the Problem
The study was intended to determine the senior high school of
Estancia National high school analyzing the addiction of online games.
following questions:
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of playing video games
among senior high school students?

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

2. How to control the addiction of Senior High School Student in playing
video games?
3. How these video games affect the study of Senior High?
Theoretical Framework
This study presented the related theories which serve as a basis to
strengthen the study. This study tells what are the causes and the possible
effect of online games in SHS student . The first cause is the designers make
character look and act like humans. And the effect is sometimes people or the
player feels this action like they are going to do it, or the players act like the
character on the game.
Next cause is when you soak at the computer you couldn’t even stand
to eat. And for the effect is hunger, not in mood, get sick, getting tired of
everything especially for the responsibilities, even when it comes to studying.
The bad words they use as a conversation to their co-players, the effect for
this is when they talk to someone that is elder to them like they are talking to a
child. In other word they disrespect elders especially to their parents. Now a
days, almost everything can be done with just a click Almost everyone has
their own computer.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Computer Game Addiction
There are five aspects of internet addiction noted by Shaw and Black
(2015): Cyber sexual addiction, cyber-relational addiction, net compulsions,
information overload, and computer addiction. The main subtype we will be
looking at is computer addiction, as it is described as “Many computers come
equipped with pre -programmed games and people become addicted to
playing them at the cost of work performance or family obligations hi. There is
a lot of controversy over the overlap of devices in gaming, which has resulted
in an ambiguous definition for computer games and computer game addiction.
For instance, a game that was made for a video game console now has an
internet version, a computer game has moved onto the tablet, gambling has
also moved to the internet, etc. We will extend their definition to include all
computer games playable on a web-enabled device that is not a video-game
console, as computer games are recreational activities that are meant to be
enjoyed, and outside of educational games have little productive value. The
following are in depth examinations of computer-game addiction symptoms as

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Estancia,Iloilo

studied by researchers as well as real life-examples. Addiction has only
recently gained volume due to the rise of computer gaming in the past two
decades as well as the availability of computers to the general public.
Assessments for Problematic Gambling are often used to create tests for
Computer/Internet Addiction due to similarities between the two; both are
behavioural based addiction. For instance, Thomas and Martin (2014) note
that their assessment for computer game and Internet addiction were adapted
from pathological gambling as “no empirically tested measure for behaviour
addiction was available in 2014 at the time of data collection.
Bonald 2011 The addicted gamer often isolates him/herself from
others, ignores more important responsibilities, and is often obsessed with
obtaining higher status / rankings / achievements in his/her favourite computer
game. According to the DSM-IV (the current manual for classifying emotional,
psychological, and mental disorders) no. Although there have been calls from
some mental health professionals (and parents) to recognize computer game
addiction as a "real" disorder, it has not been granted official diagnostic
status. As more research on the effects of excessive gaming is conducted,
many believe that it is only a matter of time before computer game addiction is
classified as a compulsive behaviour similar to gambling addiction.

Diao (2003) everyone needs to express their feelings and though. As
such, when a person cannot express himself or herself adequately he or she
may get depress. Therefore one way to release this depression or pressure
would be though playing online game, which enables gamers to chat or play
with other friends and players on the internet. •Another explanation of why
young people become addicted to the internet was proposed in that they were
trying to avoid societal pressure. Some young people are naturally too shy to
talk to strangers face to face in reality, but when surfing the internet or playing
online games, they can be whoever they want to be. As, such they can chat
with the people, online without feeling of the regular social pressure that come
with physical meeting.
Rutger (2014) The Benefits of playing video games, video games are
controlled training regimens delivered highly motivating behavioural contexts
because behavioural changes arise from brain changes and the performance
improvements are paralleled by enduring physical and functional neurological
remodelling. Teenagers react towards frustration and stresses for example
problematic gamers will indeed show off emotions like anger, depression and
frustration. But it’s not all bad, problematic gamers can show positive
emotions depending on the outcome of the game. This seems particularly
problematic because those teenagers who play online games excessively are
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Estancia,Iloilo

likely to develop a healthy lifestyle because they are constantly playing online
games instead of occupying themselves with school, friends and family.
Therefore, their psychosocial development may be significantly
impaired. The consistent blocking out of and passive coping with stressful
experiences is a strategy that may be successful in the short-term. However,
from a long-term perspective, it may not work quite as well and could have
deadly consequences. In this case, it appears more likely that once new
stressors appear, teenagers continue to use escapist and media-focused
coping mechanisms.
David (2013) Stated that the addiction in playing online game is
believed to drive someone to extreme circumstances so much so that from
some evidence demonstrated parents tend to believe that their child is in a
position where their health and future is a worry. While the health could be an
issue due to lack of exercise but failing toad here to education and lack of
future job prospects has no strong solid evidence to indicate this is a true thus
have no findings about the matter. •Other than that, social networking sites
like Facebook have a good history of allowing young people to gain
information and access to various •other educational idea’s and games that
have some underlying educational traits that may or may not be meant to be
viewed like that but me personally to use a game like Farmville to give any
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Estancia,Iloilo

sort of educational foothold for a young person would not be of importance as
could we honestly say that what you could give to a young person in that time
wouldn’t be better spent giving them a proper foundation for understanding.
Using World of Warcraft (WoW) as an example, David Rudd said that Wow is
designed to gives a very vast gaming experience but at the same time making
sure the gamer has continuous content to take part in to keep the gamers
played their game.
Ivy Shiue (2011) in herself and environment exposure to drinking,
smoking, gambling or video games addiction are associated with adult
hypertension, heart and cerebrovascular diseases, allergy, self-rated health
and happiness. In the Psychological effects of videogames on young people:
A review by Lavinia McLean and Mark Griffiths (2013), the study sought to
determine(a) the role and impact of video games in the lives of young people
within a technological society, and how this impact can occur (b) The
exposure of young people to violent video games may viewed within the
context of risk factors for the development of aggression and as such an
understanding of the research within this area. •Bushman (2013) The more
you play, the more aggressive you become: a long-term experimental study of
cumulative violent video game effects on hostile expectations and aggressive
behaviour, violent video games increase aggression. Violent video games

cause aggression in young females that young female adults with the mean
age 22, with no prior experience of playing video games, were asked to fill in
the Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire before and after playing violent
video game, last stand and non-violent videogame Tetris.
Tracy Miller (2013). Add because computer game addiction is a new
development in the world of mental health, treatments are not as well
established as those for depression, anxiety, anger, etc. Most interventions
take a cognitive-behavioural approach which involve changing how the addict
thinks about the addiction.
EFFECTS OF MOBILE GAME IN MODULAR LEARNING
JMIR serious games 7 ( 2019) Suggest that Serious gaming is
recognized as a training tool due its potential for a risk-free educational
environment. There is still limited research about using serious gaming
modules for emergency skills training.
Moreover ,Deniz Martian Gezgin implies that Distance Education
Technologies (IJDET)17(1) 2019 investigates the effect of mobile learning
support on students’ academic success on a database management systems
(DBMS) course. On the other hand, Dimitrios Vlachopoulos claims that

33, 2017 Acknowledge The focus of higher education institutions is the
preparation of future.
According to Agoritsa Makri (2017) The focus of higher education
institutions is the preparation of future professionals. To achieve this aim,
innovative teaching methods are often deployed, including games and
simulations, which form the subject of this paper. As the field of digital games
and simulations is ever maturing, this paper attempts to systematically review
the literature relevant to games and simulation pedagogy in higher education.
Two researchers collaborate to apply a qualitative method, coding and
synthesizing the results using multiple criteria. The main objective is to study
the impact of games and simulations with regard to achieving specific learning
objectives. On balance, results indicate that games and/or simulations have a
positive impact on learning goals. The researchers identify three learning
outcomes when integrating games into the learning process: cognitive,
behavioural, and affective. As a final step, the authors consolidate evidence
for the benefit of academics and practitioners in higher education interested in
the efficient use of games and simulations for pedagogical purposes. Such
evidence also provides potential options and pathways for future research.

METHODOLOGY
Research Purpose and Design
The purpose of this study is to A qualitative research design using
phenomenological research will be utilized in this study to explain what is the
effects of mobile gaming addiction to the students of SHS in ENHS
Phenomenology is an approach to qualitative research that focuses on
the commonality of a lived experience within a particular group. The
fundamental goal of the approach is to arrive at a description of the nature of
the particular phenomenon (Creswell, 2013).
Participants of the Study
The participants of this study are the senior high school students of
Estancia National High School who are involved or experienced being
addicted in online games application. Their location are in Estancia Iloilo.

Locale of the Study
This study will be conducted at Estancia Iloilo through any online
platforms that can be used in communicating since we have a pandemic.
Data Gathering Instrument
This study, the researchers will conduct a visual interview to some
senior high school students of Estancia National High School. The
researchers will prepare questions focus on the causes of mobile gaming
addiction and its effects on modular learning. The research instrument will
include a virtual interview, guide questions, video camera, and an audio
recorder.
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
The researchers will personally conduct an interview to the senior high
school it will involve collection and analysis of data about the causes of mobile
gaming addiction and its effects on modular learning among SHS students.
The data can be collected as a story or in a different manner. It will focus on

causes of mobile gaming addiction and its effects on modular learning among
SHS students .
The researchers will assure the participants on the confidentiality of
their identities, thus, pseudonyms will be uses.
Data Analysis Procedure
The data qualitative phenomenological research will be analysed
through the following steps:
Coding: This involves generating pithy labelling important features of the data
with regards to relevance of the research questions guiding the analysis.
Coding is not a simply method of data reduction, it is also an analytic process,
so codes capture both a semantic and conceptual reading of the data. The
researchers will code every data item and will end this phase by gathering all
their codes and relevant data extract.
(Clarke & Braun, 2013) Searching for Themes: A theme is a coherent and
meaningful pattern in the data relevant to the research questions. In this
phase, the researchers will construct themes and will end this phase by
gathering all the coded data relevant to each theme.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Estancia,Iloilo
16
(Clarke & Braun, 2013) Reviewing the Theme: The researchers in this phase
will reflect on whether the themes tell convincing and compelling story about
the data and will begin to define the nature of each individual theme and the
relationship between the themes. It may be necessary to collapse two themes
together or to split a theme into two or more themes, or to discard the
candidate themes altogether and begin again the process of theme
development.
(Clarke & Braun, 2013) Defining and Naming Themes: In this phase, the
researchers will conduct and write a detailed analysis of each theme by
analyzing what the story does the theme tell, and how such theme fit into the
overall story about the data. The researchers will then identify the essence of
each theme and will construct a concise and informative name for each
theme.
(Clarke & Braun, 2013) Writing Up: In this phase, the researchers will weave
together the analytic narrative and vivid data extract to tell the readers a
coherent and persuasive story about the data, contextualizing it in relation to
existing literature.

Ethical Considerations
The consideration of ethics in research, and in general business for
that matter, is of growing importance. It is, therefore, critical that you
understand the basics of ethical research and how this might affect your
research project. This is especially important if your research involves
interaction with businesses or members of the general community who serve
as participants (i.e., respondents) in your research.
There are a range of interactions in your research that might occur, including
in-depth interviews, focus groups, surveys, or even observing people’s
behavior. Though all researchers (student, professional, or academic) are well
intentioned, there is the possibility that interaction with participants may
inadvertently harm them in some unintended way. This could include •
Psychological harm—for example, researching the use of nudity in advertising
may show participants images that offend them.
Financial harm—researching unethical behaviour within a given firm may
provide management with information on individual employees that results in
an individual getting fired, or undertaking industry based research may
inadvertently share sensitive information with a firm’s competitors, resulting in
financial harm to the organization.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Social harm—researching how lifestyle affects consumption may
• unintentionally disclose a person’s sexual orientation when that
• person wanted to keep this confidential.
• It is your responsibility to consider whether any type of harm could occur
• When you plan your research and to ensure that mechanisms are instituted
to
• Remove it. It is, therefore, essential that you carefully evaluate the potential
• For harm to arise and ensure that you (a) behave according to appropriate
• Ethical standards; (b) consider how your research might negatively affect
participants; and (c) protect yourself, your supervisors/teachers, and your
institution
•From being placed in situations in which individuals could make claims of
inappropriate behaviour, resulting in public criticism or even your being
issued.

Researchers’ Positionality
The advent and development of technology brings many things which may
either ease or make life of people more difficult and complicated. one of
results of this development is the opening of mobile gaming through the
Internet which has become addictive and one of the widely used leisure
activities by many people and teenagers.
Online or mobile gaming is a technology rather than a genre: a
mechanism for connecting players together rather than a particular pattern of
game play. mobile games are played over some form of mobile network. now
typically on the internet. This study aimed to determine the causes of mobile
gaming addiction and its effects on modular learning among SHS students
spending too much time on online games every week tend to suffer from
worsened
learning ability concentration problem. poor academic performance. and
decreased interactions with other People.
