Problem 3: How are the effects of online games in Academic Performance of
students in Grade 10?

Based on Problem #2 (table 2.1, 2.2, 2.3), it shows that the respondents disagree the

concept that online games affect their academic performance. Playing online games has no

negative impact on their grades because they know how to limit themselves. They understand

the importance of self-control in order to perform well in class on weekends, when they have

more time than during the week.

 FINDINGS

So there for the majority of students playing online games is male with age of 15 years old.

2. The factors that affect online games based on their academic performance have a verbal description of
"Disagree" to almost all questions on the questionnaire, so all of their reasons for playing online games are
correct.

3. Accept null hypothesis. The academic performance of the students is not affected even if they play online
games.
 RECOMMENDATIONS

We advise students who spend too much time playing online games to stop because it
can harm our academic performance, our health, and our mindset. Instead, we should
focus on things that will benefit us. Also, we can do or explore more without using it;
we recommend this to make them aware of what might happen to their future; if they
continue with that matter, it may destroy our path in life.
CONCLUSIONS

We conclude that students do not want to play online games because their reasons
are common to our generation right now, based on our findings. For us, playing
online games has a significant impact on our academic performance because it may
result in us receiving low grades, which we do not want to happen. However, a few
students who play online games have also received good grades.
