 ABSTRACT

This study was entitled “Social Networking and Mobile-Online Games: Their
Relationship to the Academic Performance of SHS Students of MNHS-Main “wants to
investigate the significant relationship between social networking to the academic
performance and mobile-online games to the academic performance of SHS students of
MNHS-Main. The purposed of the study was to describe the use of social networking
sites and mobile-online games of the students that somewhat related to academic
performance of Grade 11 General Academic Strand in MNHS-Main of the school year
2018-2019. This study is very important because this topic of interest is relevant to the
senior high school strand. This study will contribute research-based data possible
relationship between the use of social networking and mobile-online games to the
academic performances. Furthermore, the researchers proposed that the students of
MNHS-Main have an average of mastery level on the midterm grades in General
Mathematics of the academic year 2018-2019. The students use of social networking and
mobile-online games in terms of frequency and types of applications are the following;
majority of the students commonly use Facebook in their smart phones; they spend most
0 to 8 hours in a day and visit daily on their social media account; and most of the
respondents are not playing a mobile-online games on their smartphones but some spent
0 to 8 hours in a day and it is said that mobile-online games such as Mobile Legends,
Clash of Clans, Arena of Valor and Rules of Survival as not necessarily activity. Also,
majority of the students considered that social media helps their studies sometimes and
sometimes mobile-online games give them opportunity to think critically sometimes.
Finally, the researchers recommend that student’s use of social networking should be
under moderation, parents must be aware of the possible effects to their children,
developing effective teaching-learning process, and conducting seminars and activities to
improve academic performance in General Mathematics.

INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, the researchers present the problem and its setting. It includes the

statement of the problem, significance of the study, and scope and delimitation of the

study.

Background of the study

Nowadays, technology is one of the most important part of people’s lives. All of us

depend on technology. Day-by-day, technology is increasing that gives impact to us and

has a variety of usage such as a medium of communication, fasten our tasks/ work, gives

entertainment and satisfaction, and etc.With the use of technology, this can create human

relationship by using social networking have played a big role in connecting people. In

the field of education, technology has made a very big change in the world. Because of

the invention of gadgets like mobile and cellular phones, it’s easier to learn than before.

6
 The regular reliance on smartphones in daily life, and the information gather and

transmit such as texts, call data, and the geographic/location details, means an important

tool for communication. But, also have the potential to be used as a tool of abuse. Many

smartphone users are obsessed or infatuated with their smartphone functions. But over

time, it will become less interesting and far more a tool we engage with when we need to,

just as society has adjusted to computer use. In the meantime, young people needs to

educate about problematic internet use and help to understand why using functions on

smartphone can be potentially time-wasting and, at worst, negatively impact academic

performances in school.

According to Nations (2018), social networking has grown to become one of the

largest and most influential components of the web. Once signed into a social network,

having answered a few basic profile questions, it's easy to sit back and wonder what you

are supposed to do next. Perhaps the easiest way to understand social networking is to

think of it like high school. If someone who had friends in school and knew quite a few

people even if this person weren't friends with all of them, but it's likely that this person

didn't know everyone. If someone ever moved to a new school, or if this person can

imagine moving to a new school, they start out with no friends. After attending classes,

this person start meeting people, and as they meet them, this person begin associating

with those that have similar interests. Getting started with social networking is much the

same as starting a new school. At first, they don't have any friends, but as they join

groups and begin meeting new people, they build a friend list of those with similar

interests. Social networking sites include: Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, Gmail, Skype,

7
Google and etc. Millions of people are using social networking sites which they used to

interact with old and new friends, physical or internet friends (Asemah & Edegoh,2012).

In addition, playing mobile-online games can make people happy. Mobile-online

game is a video game which can be played on a feature phone, smartphone/mobile

phones, tablet, smartwatch, or portable media player (Elmenthaler, 2013). Today, mobile

games can be played online through downloading it from app stores or via internet

connection, Bluetooth, or through share it application.

Likewise, academic excellence or achievement plays an important role in an

individual placement, be it in the academic institutions or job placement. Due to this,

many people are concerned with the ways they can enhance their academic achievement.

The emphasis on academic excellence which is also prevalent worldwide has encouraged

many studies about the conditions promoting it. The role of academic achievement as one

of the predictors of one’s life success and also in the aspect of academic placement in

schools to higher institutions as well as the level of employability in one’s career is

inevitable (Kyoshaba, 2009). Coupled with the rise of technology, technology can bring

positive and negative effects in many aspects of life. Instead of students reading their

books, they spend their time chatting and making friends via the social networking sites.

Instead of students are busy answering their assignments and doing their projects, they

usually play online-games in their mobile phones, this might definitely have influence on

their academic performance.

General Mathematics is one of the most important school subjects in the curriculum

worldwide. It is a subject that has direct relationship with other subjects, particularly

technical and sciences. It is important subject not only from point of view of getting an

8
academic qualification at school or college, but also is a subject that prepares the students

for the future as well irrespective of which work of life they choose to be a part of. The

General Mathematics provides the interdisciplinary knowledge and problem-solving

techniques that can give you the edge in an increasingly competitive job market. General

Mathematics is intimately connected to daily life and everybody’s life-long planning.

Therefore, general mathematics is a subject that education and human life cannot

function effectively without it.

This study aimed to achieve the following: (1) improve the academic performances of

SHS student’s by giving knowledge on the use of social networking and mobile-online

games;(2) to create a balance between social networking and mobile-online games to

academic activities; (3) and to describe and correlate the two factors that affects academic

performances in the Grade 11 GAS strand in the school year 2018-2019.

Statement of the problem

The purposed of the study is to investigate the use of social networking sites and

mobile-online games to academic performance in General Mathematics of Senior High

School students under General Academic Strand in Muntinlupa National High School-

Main of the academic year 2018-2019.

Specifically, this research seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the students academic performances in General Mathematics?

2. What is the students use of social networking and mobile-online games in terms

of:

a. Frequency?

9
 b. Types of applications?

3. Is there a significant relationship between the academic performance in General

Mathematics and social networking?

4. Is there a significant relationship between the academic performance in General

Mathematics and mobile-online games?

Significance of the Study

This study will be able to contribute research-based data possible relationship between

the use of social networking and mobile-online games to the academic performance in

General Mathematics. Furthermore, the society in general can make informed decisions

area.

More specifically, this study can be significant to the following beneficiaries:

10
 To the students. It will enable the students of Senior High School to be aware of the

topic, so that they will know that the use of social networking and mobile-online games is

for responsible use.

To the parents. This study may benefits the parents to gain awareness of the possible

effects of social networking and mobile-online games to their children, so they can give

limitations to their children and guide them to be responsible in using their smartphones.

To the guidance teacher. This study may help the guidance teachers of the school to

know the common reason why students have low academic performances or to utilize this

to their study.

To the school. The school will conduct seminars and activities that gives awareness to

the students about ways to improve academic performance in school, the proper use of

social networking and mobile-online games, and empowering the youth.

To other researchers. It will provide information and data for other researchers

undertaking similar topic of interest which was to describe the relationship between

social networking and mobile-online games to the students academic performance.

Scope and Delimitations

The purposed of the correlation study was to determine the relationship between

social networking and mobile-online games to the students academic performance. The

study population included students in the Grade 11 General Academic Strand in

Muntinlupa National High School-Main in the first semester of the year 2018-2019. The

11
sample size selected by multiple steps stratified sampling method. There are ten sections

under the General Academic Strand in Grade 11. Based on the computed Slovin’s

Formula, there are 229 total respondents required in the study. The study aimed to show

the uses of smartphone applications that limited only to social networking and mobile-

online games. This quantitative research is limited only to those students who are using

social networking sites and playing mobile-online games. The study scope the use of

smart phones applications that requires internet connection and does not included offline

games. Mobile-online games which includes Rules of Survival, Mobile Legends, Arena

of Valor and League of Legends. Also, the use of mobile networking sites in this study

are only limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Gmail. In measuring student’s

academic performance, it represented by the midterm grades in General Mathematics.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the conceptual

framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.

12
Review of Related Literature and Studies

As of today, most people relate social networking and mobile-online games to low

academic performances. Through the years, studies have yielded different results. Some

of them say that they are co-related when some say that they are not. The related

literature and studies in the study has provided an in-depth evidence of the uses,

advantages, disadvantages, impact, consequences, and concerns about the usage of social

networking, mobile-online games, and academic performances.

This chapter review some of the numerous works done by scholars and researchers

which are directly related to this research work, in doing so this chapter reviewed the

following variables: social networking, mobile-online games, and academic

performances. This also includes other research and information about social media,

internet addiction, mobile phones, and game addiction.

Social Networking

Social networking is the use of internet-based social media programs to make

connections with friends, family, classmates, customers and clients.

Social networking can occur for social purposes, business purposes or both through sites

such as Facebook, Gmail, Google, and Messenger applications. Social networking is also

a significant target area for marketers seeking to engage users. Networking is a process

that fosters the exchange of information and ideas among individuals or groups that share

a common interest. It may be for social or business purposes (Investopedia & LLC,

2018).

13
 Social networking sites are social network services that focus on building online

communities of people who share interest or activities. Many years had passed, social

networking is very popular today. The term “Social Networking Sites” from the word

“Networking” refers to relationship. A practice of a public discourse or looking to meet

new people through communicating online (Banquil, Chua & Rivero, 2009).

Social networks have the power to open the world up to you, making it a smaller place

than it has ever been before. Social networking sites can help you make and keep friends.

Social networking sites can act as a kind of group therapy session. Social networking

sites allow you to live a life unhindered by small talk. Social networking sites can help

foster friendships and perhaps more besides. Social networking sites make fitting in

easier, as long as you open up a little.

Social media can be very influential on society in both positive and negative ways. It

gives people a way to stay in touch with people who live far away. It lets people share

fun, interesting and informative content. It gives businesses a way to engage with

customers.

One of the problems, however, is that anybody can share anything, including material

that may not be accurate. In some cases, real harm is done when people spread

inflammatory, unverified or outright false information. This can harm private individuals,

as when someone is bullied online. It can also have a harmful impact on society as a

whole.

Social media has made it very easy to spread information quickly. Because Facebook

and Twitter timelines move so quickly, viewers don’t often verify what they’ve seen. A

14
great deal of content is also spread through images and memes, which may or may not be

based on valid information. Of course, many memes are created to be funny, cute or

outrageous. Others, however, are intended to influence our thinking. Even links to real

articles can be misleading. It’s safe to say that most people who see a headline and link

never read the whole article.

Social Media is useful but there is an evident that it gives negative impacts to students

who are not aware of the proper use of social networking sites. Students can help to

access basic information like they are gaining knowledge to become a competitive

individual. The problem is that instead of students would do their homework’s, they give

more priority in checking their social media account and busy chatting with their friends.

The most important things in the students life is studying, learning good habits and

gaining knowledge to become a better individual. But look what happened in this days,

students are observed entrapped by the schemes of using social networking sites

(Jimenez, 2018).

In March 2014, the UK's Daily Mirror published the story of Danny Bowman, a

teenage "selfie addict" who allegedly spent up to 10 hours a day taking 200 selfies,

dropped out of school, and tried to kill himself when he was unable take the perfect photo

of himself. Taking selfies has become a very popular activity, particularly

among teenagers and young adults. From a psychological perspective, the taking of

selfies is a self-oriented action which allows users to establish their individuality and self-

importance and is also associated with personality traits such as narcissism.

Mobile-Online Game

15
 According to techopedia (2018), mobile-online games is a kind of video game played

on Mobile phones, Smart phones, Tablet, and computer. Nowadays, with the emergence

of android phones many game applications are developed for it and some existing

applications are migrated into it. Many games are develop for mobile phones most

specifically for android. With the high technology equipped with these mobile phones,

mobile games become robust and attract many people to buy or have this phone for them

to experience what’s inside it which makes it a trend for the new generation of mobile

phones.

According to the mobile analytics company named App Annie( 2018),Chinese mobile

game publishers saw a significant rise of over 40 percent on year-on-year on overseas

revenues from Apple Incorporation iOS App Store and Google Play store during the first

half of this year, hitting $2.6 billion. Gaming app publishers reported 1.5 billion

downloads via Google Play and iOS App Store in the first half of 2018, compared with

1.1 billion in the same period last year, according to App Annie’s data. The report said

China saw a slowdown the first- half domestic mobile game revenues, proving overseas

markets such as Japan, South Korea and Germany, and expansion is a necessity for

Chinese publishers. By the end of June, more than 200 Chinese mobile games apps had

been downloaded more than one million times around the world, each earning $1 million

globally (Shijia, 2018).

The concept that gaming could become an addiction first gained traction in 2013 when the

disorder was included in the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders"

(DSM). At the time, the disorder was only listed as a "condition for further study." "Excessive

gaming may lead to avoiding negative moods and neglecting 'normal' relationships, school or

16
work-related duties, and even basic physical needs," review author Frank Paulus said in a

statement. But Mark Griffiths, a professor of behavioral addiction at Nottingham Trent

University in England concurred that most child gamers do not suffer from addiction. It is

because it's not about the amount of time a child spends in front of a video game," Griffiths

explained. "It's about the content and context in which that screen time figures into his or her

life. “If your kid is not suffering educationally, and has got a wide network of friends, is

doing his chores and engaging in physical education, then what they're doing with their spare

leisure time is not negatively impacting their life and cannot be called an addiction -- even if

the parent thinks it's excessive," he said.

Contrary to the traditional belief that mobile-online gaming is merely an addictive

source of entertainment and diversion, recent research has proved that mobile-online

gaming has numerous benefits and key among them, is the development of cognitive

skills in both children and adults. Just as physical exercise helps in improving and

strengthening your muscles, cognitive games help to indulge one's brain in constant

stimulation, thus improving the brain's performance.

The following are some of the cognitive benefits of playing mobile-online games

according to Sheila Eugenio: (1) Improves coordination. When an adult or child is

playing a mobile-online game, he or she is not only staring at the computer inactively.

The activities and actions on the screen provide a lot of mental stimulation. For one to

play, he or she will need to coordinate their visual, audial and physical movement.

(2) Improves problem-solving skills. Mobile-online games involve certain rules. This

means that the player has to think carefully before making any move to ensure that they

stay within the required rules of that particular game. (3) Enhances memory. Playing

17
your favorite mobile-online game may require both visual and audial memory. The player

is required to read or listen to the instructions which might only be provided at the

beginning of the game, thus the need to remember them throughout the entire game.

Mastery of the keys on your keyboard helps you easily move your characters in the game.

This helps improve your memory, whether short- term or long-term. (4) Improves

attention and concentration. Mobile-online games especially action games, have proven

to be able to capture the player's attention for the entire period of the game. This is

brought about by the player's need to achieve certain objectives within the game, and be

able to progress to the next level. (5) It is a great source of learning. Mobile-online

gaming is not only beneficial to adults and teenagers, but to children as well. Many

modern education institutions incorporate mobile-online games as a teaching

methodology. This helps these children improve their academic skills by providing

games that are specifically aimed at enhancing their cognitive and creative skills.

(6) Improves the brain's speed. While gaming, the brain receives multiple stimulations,

both visual and audial. According to research, individuals who play video games

frequently can process these stimulators faster than others. These stimulators ensure that

the brain is continuously working to interpret them. (7) Enhances multitasking skills. An

action game, for example, may require you to be very observant. It requires you to be

able to move your joystick or keys while looking at the various features on your screen

such as energy levels, oncoming adversaries, ammunitions left, available time among

other factors, all which are vital to winning. This ensures that the player can observe and

react accordingly to all requirements of that particular game. (8) Mobile-online games

improves social skills. Mobile-online gaming enables many players to engage in a

18
particular game simultaneously. As such, there is constant communication between the

players which in turn results in the development of meaningful as well as casual

relationships among them. This helps players meet new friends while also strengthening

bonds with their old friends.

Academic Performance

Kyoshaba (2009) stated that academic excellence or achievement plays an important

role in an individual placement, be it in the academic institutions or job placement. Due

to this, many people are concerned with the ways they can enhance their academic

achievement. The emphasis on academic excellence which is also prevalent worldwide

has encouraged many studies about the conditions promoting it. The role of academic

achievement as one of the predictors of one’s life success and also in the aspect of

academic placement in schools to higher institutions as well as the level of employability

in one’s career is inevitable.

Likewise, academic performance refers to the ability to study and remember facts,

being able to study effectively and see how facts fit together and form larger patterns of

knowledge, and being able to think for self in relation to facts and being able to

communicate your knowledge verbally or down on paper. There are several factors

affecting student’s academic performance. Some are home, school, teacher, and student

factors. Most of the factors are home related: family size, financial burden, work at home,

parental attitude through education and parenting style. The academic performance of the

learners must therefore be viewed on the four mentioned factors and may this article

provide some ideas for some corrective and tangible measure that would lead to the

understanding of the issue (Garcia, 2012).

19
Related Studies

Foreign

A thesis made by Ravichandran (2009) in New Zealand, aimed to gain an overall

understanding of teenagers’ mobile-phone usage (positive purposes and negative

impacts). A mixed methods approach was employed to explore the research problem.

Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires (18 closed and 02 open ended

questions) and qualitative data through interviews (approximately 21 questions). The

results shows that Teenagers’ possessing mobile phones 96.5 % (n=111). The overall

findings from this study reveal that parents (caregivers’ perceptions of teenagers’ mobile

phone usage are not satisfactory. Although a mixed opinion, they lean towards negative

impacts.

According to previous study of Kuss & Fernandez (2016) that aimed to maximize the

interest, game addiction is the ultimate goal rather than intention, which means attractive

products will enable users to play games frequently and even become loyal user. Since

the study confirmed the vital role of perceived visibility in forming addiction, game

developers should realized the vital role of social function of mobile games and put

significant resources into developing and delivering social mobile games.

Another study from Goel, Subramanyan, Kamath (2015), the prevalence of internet

addiction and its association with psychopathology in Indian adolescents.A cross-

sectional study sample comprising of 987 students of various faculties across the city of

Mumbai was conducted after obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval

andpermission from the concerned college. There has been an excessive use not only in

20
India but also worldwide in the last decade. There is a growing concern about whether

this is excessive use and if so, whether it amounts to an addiction. The results indicated

those with excessive use internet had high scores on anxiety, depression and anxiety

depression.

The study of Peter (2015) shows a direct relationship exists between social media

usage and the academic performance of students in universities. To achieve this, the

descriptive survey research design was adopted. The study focused on University of

Lagos hence, population consists of all the 24,661 full-time undergraduate students. The

simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 378 students.

Research findings showed that a great number of students in University of Lagos, are

addicted to social media. To this end, the researcher recommended that social media

should be used for educational purposes as well; Social Networking Sites should be

expanded and new pages should be created to enhance academic activities and avoid

setbacks in the students’ academic performance; and Students should be monitored by

teachers and parents on how they use these sites This is to create a balance between social

media and academic activities of students to avoid setbacks in the academic performance

of the students.

This study of Sa’ad, Adamu, and Abdullah investigated the causes of poor

performance in mathematics among public senior secondary schools students in Azare

metropolis of Bauchi state, Nigeria. The study sample was 361 in which 300 were

students and 61 teachers which were selected from the population of 5,545. The

descriptive survey design was used and questionnaire was used in the collection of data.

Frequency and simple percentage were used in the analysis of the data. The findings of

21
the study led to the conclusion that students’ negative attitude toward mathematics,

anxiety and fear of mathematics, inadequate qualified teachers, poor teaching methods,

inadequate teaching materials, overcrowded classes were some of the causes of poor

performance in mathematics in the study area. The study also found out that developing

positive attitude, motivation and proper guidance toward mathematics, using proper

methods of teaching the subject, provision of relevant teaching materials, additional

classrooms and furniture, provision of libraries and mathematical laboratories were some

of the ways of improving performance in mathematics in the study area. Finally, the study

recommended that frequent inter-school competition in mathematics, frequent

supervision and inspection by proper authorities as well as enlightenment of parents on

importance of children’s education should be adopted.

Local

Amabao (2011) conducted a study to explore the use of social networking sites and

how it affects the communication aspects of every individual. It shows the reason why

they use social network sites as a way of communication and building relationship with

the other person, and also would like to present the possible problem that a user might

encounter using social networking sites. This study used a descriptive- survey method

involved the use of questionnaires. Social networkers in the Philippines also showed the

highest level of engagement on social networking sites averaged of 5.5 hours per visitor

in February, which visitors frequenting the social networking category an averaged of 26

times during the month.

22
 A qualitative study of Bernardo (2010), research has shown that a critical variable in

determining academic achievement in different cultures and educational systems is

approaches to learning. In this study, the author sought to determine whether this variable

influences academic achievement among Filipino college students. The learning process

questionnaire (LPQ) has been the source of intensive cross-cultural study. The results

indicated that: (a) the Learning Process Questionnaire (LPQ) was a valid instrument to

assess the learning approaches of non-low-achieving Filipino college students; (b) the

Deep and Achieving subscale scores of the Learning Process Questionnaire (LPQ) were

positively related to academic achievement even when the effects of school ability and

prior academic achievement were controlled; and (c) with some slight exceptions, the

relationship between the Learning Process Questionnaire (LPQ) scale scores and

academic achievement were generally similar between male and female Filipino students.

Implications for the study of student approaches to learning in different cultures and

educational systems are discussed.

Synthesis

The review of related studies and literature is summarizes as follows:

The research cited 4 foreign related literature and 3 local related literature, 4 foreign

related studies and 2 local related studies. Three related study and related literature are

similar to the present study which says that social networking or the use of social media

23
can affect the student’s academic performances. These are the studies of Banquil, Chua &

Rivero (2009), Peter (2015) and Jimenez (2018). There is a significant relationship

between the use of social networking sites and students academic performances (Peter,

2015) and Banquil, Chua & Rivero (2009). Most of the studies cited are quantitative and

a correlation research design, are similar to the present study to conduct information to

the chosen topic. There are three quantitative studies used to know the percentages of the

respondents such as: Ravichandran (2009), Garcia (2012), and Peter (2015).While

Bernardo (2010) and Kyoshaba (2009) are quantitative research design that aims to show

the academic excellence or achievement plays an important role in an individual

placement, be it in the academic institutions or job placement. A quantitative research

design of Sa’ad, Adamu, and Abdullah investigated the causes of poor performance in

mathematics An exploratory quantitative study shows results that there is a prevalence of

internet addiction and game addiction worldwide, these are the studies of Kuss &

Fernandez (2016) and Goel, Subramanyam & Kamath (2015).

Since the P-value is 0.867323 which greater than the level of significance of 0.05, then

the result indicates that is not significant. Although technically a positive correlation, the

relationship between variables is very weak because the nearer the value is to zero, the

weaker the relationship.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the conclusion that were drawn based on the findings, and the

corresponding recommendations.

Conclusion

Based on the finding of the study the following conclusion are drawn;

1. The students of MNHS-Main have an average of mastery level on the midterm

grades in General Mathematics of the academic year 2018-2019.

2. The students use of social networking and mobile-online games in terms of

frequency and types of applications are the following;

a. Majority of the students commonly use Facebook in their smart phones.

b. They spend most 0 to 8 hours in a day and visit daily on their social

media account.

c. Most of the respondents are not playing a mobile-online games on their

smartphones but some spent 0 to 8 hours in a day and it is said that

37
 mobile-online games such as Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, Arena of

Valor and Rules of Survival as not necessarily activity.

3. Majority of the students considered that social media helps their studies sometimes

and sometimes mobile-online games give them opportunity to think critically

sometimes.

4. There is a positive relationship between the academic performance in General

Mathematics and social networking. It means that the academic performance in

General Mathematics is affecting on the students’ use of social networking.

5. There is no significant relationship between the academic performance in General

Mathematics and mobile-online games. It shows that some students spent more on

mobile-online games yet have a good grades in General Mathematics.

Recommendations

On the basis on the findings and conclusions derived, the following are hereby

recommended:

1. The student’s use of social networking should be under moderation and they must be

responsible.

2. The parents must be aware of the possible effects to their children, so they can give

limitations to the responsible usage.

3. The guidance teachers should know the common reason why students have low

academic performance, where they may develop effective teaching-learning process

to improve the low academic performance in General Mathematics of the students.

38
4. The school should conduct seminars and activities that gives awareness to the

students about ways to improve academic performance in school, the proper use of

social networking and mobile-online games, and empowering the youth.

5. Other researchers should replicate this study in different setting, more samples and to

other related subjects area. They may consider positive effect of mobile-online games

to students to academic performance or ability to think critically and analysis. They

may also consider social media as a support system of the students.
