 CHAPTER I

The Problem and its Background

INTRODUCTION

In this generation, people seems to embrace technology, mostly

computers as a part of their life. Computers has a many features that the users

may enjoy. Especially students who often use computers in their generation.

There's a lot of uses that a computer can do to those who uses it. It can be their

way of relaxing, releasing out their stress, entertaining themselves and so on. For

students, it has been their main source of information, using computers to finish

their home work or school projects which is way more convenient for them.

People looks like they can’t stop using computer. How many times do you

use computer for a day? People would take a look on their computer and ended

up to playing computer games. This shows an addiction towards computers and

any other technology. Technology addiction expert, Dr. David Greenfield, refers

to computer as “the world’s best slot machine.” He explains that computers, just

like slot machines, operate on a variable reinforcement schedule. “Every once in

a while you get a reward… a piece of information, a notification, an email, an

update… something comes through that you find salient or pleasurable, but you

don’t know when you’re going to get it, what it’s going to be and how good it’s

going to be.” This is exactly the same reinforcement schedule as a slot machine.
What’s highly addictive about these things is the idea and the neurobiological

expectation they set up that a reward is coming, but you don’t know when you’re

going to get it.

Background of the Study

The researcher's created the study for us to know the negative effects of

online games to the academic performance of the students.

Computer give students access to tools that can help them complete and

stay on top of their class work. These tools can also teach students to develop

better study habits, like time management and organization skills. Computers can

also give students access to more information, letting them research more about

a topic while having class discussions. This is especially true for current events

that have not yet been covered in school textbooks. While computers can be

used as learning tools, it is a challenge to make sure students are using them for

school-related tasks. A computer can easily turn from “class learning tool” into

“class disruption”.

Students were seeming to embrace computers as a part of their journey.

There are lot of uses of computer that the students can use one of these uses is

online gaming. The researchers want to know what are the negative effect of

online games to the academic performance of the students.

Review of Related Research

Related Literature

In this research, we learned and find helpful information about the negative

effects of Online Games to the Academic Performance of Selected Grade 11 ICT

Students of FEAPITSAT Tanza. This Chapter presents a brief review of related

literature and studies, both local and foreign that is related to these studies.

A. Local Literature

Nowadays, children and young people were engaged in playing online

games. This game is a video game that can be played via Internet or Online.

They choose this hugely popular game because it inspires the users to complete

different challenges in which they can interact or link up different players around

the world. It also teaches the players to have teamwork and cooperation when

playing as well as planning, decision making and formulating strategies like what

they do in real life situations. (Online gaming, 2011)

According to an article by ABS CBN News, Online Game Development in

the Philippines are blooming. It also has a lot of potential on providing jobs and

services right now, they also have a few professionals related and responsible for

creating games provided in our industry who are trained in the field of gaming

and information technology industry. This has a comparison from other countries

such as China, Singapore, and Malaysia as stated also by an executive from

China that they have 50,000 game developers ready to make an online game. If

we were to compete with them, it would make a great difference or impact in

game development if they start at schools or earlier of possible so that

companies that develop games could hire a highly skilled team for the job.

According to an article by Philippine Gamers Association, Online Games is

one of the many reason it affects the academic performance of the students

mainly many students focused on the games called League of Legends, DOTA or

Defense of the Ancients, CS-GO or Counter Strike Global Offensive, also added

by them that one of the many games listed 25% of the student are addicted to

these games that it affects their academic performance that results to their low

performance in school.

According to the article “The Gamification of Education: Why Playing is the

Future of Learning” by Michael Logarta (June 11, 2014), more and more students

can benefit more in Gamification of education rather than using traditional way of

teaching way of educating students. Gamification means using games mechanics

to make teaching more interesting, motivating, casual and fun for students. So

instead of restricting them from playing games, why not use certain games that

can increase their knowledge, memorization and skills. Also, of lessons are given

in a game – like manner, students would tend to remember it more than lectures

that are stated in a news – like manner.

According to an article by the student’s learning takes place

unexpectedly, but the inappropriate usage of playing online games also leads in

some problems such as being distracted in school. Further, it is where the

attention of the child was divided that even their health and social life is

unknowingly affected.

B. Foreign Literature

As of today, most people relate online games to low

a c a d e m i c performance. Through the years, studies have yielded different

results. Some of them say that they are co-related when some say that they are

not. According to Anderson and Dill (2000), there is a negative

correlation between the two. Thus, meaning that there is no relation between

the number of hours played by a player and his grades. At times, the students

defend the games they are playing by saying that they do learn something

from it. A paper from EDUCAUSE backs these students up by suggesting that

the faculty learn and know about these games to help students in in class

learning experience (Hitch and Duncan, 2005). Furthermore, another paper

claims that these games are not just for entertainment (Shaffer, Squire,

Halverson, & Gee, 2005). They claim that these games may be used to

learn and experience different things and interact with other people and

belong to a virtual community.

Online games have both positive and negative effects on

people, especially students. One of the negatives is this. Many cases

among students are addiction. And this addiction may lead to worse problems.

The students might steal money.They may become lazy when it comes to

studying and prefer playing the whole day long. Some may even skip school in

order to have more playing time. (Sujat Ali Hamza) A d d i c t e d g a m e r s

n e g l e c t t h e responsibilities of everyday life such as school and work. (UNC-

OASIS). In the world of today, there are different genres of online games. First

are the console games. Console games are more commonly referred to

as videogames. They are played on a device specially made for game play

called a videogame console. The player interacts with the game through a

controller, a hand-held device with buttons and joysticks or pads. Video and

sound are received by the gamer though a television. Examples of consoles

include the Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo GameCube, and

Nintendo Wii. Second are the real-time strategy games. This is a type of video

game in which players exercise strategy along the way, typically to conquer

enemies and reach a final destination without being eradicated. For example,

to win, players decide which routes to take, what needs to be done and how

to do it. Contrast with first-person shooter. Third are the cross-platform

online games. Developing software for, or ru nn i n g so ftw a re on , mo re

“almost" the same no matter which computer they run on.

According to an article by Bartleby Research 25% of students out of 100

students prefer studies over online gaming, also added by them that many

student uses gaming as a platform to studying. Most student say that gaming is
like a modern textbook they can use to learn a lot of stuff like accuracy in playing

fps games and increasing logic skills by playing logical games. Many of them

takes games as an advantage for them to kill their time or escape their own cells

Methodology

Method of Research

Qualitative research is a scientific method of observation to gather non-

numerical data. Qualitative research is widely used by political science, social

work, and education researchers. This is important for the researchers there are

variables that are not quantifiable such as perceptions and preferences through

this, the researcher will emphasize the opinion or even though interviews and

experiences of respondents. The researcher used exploratory design because

we can further study as researchers and we still want to know what is the

negative effects of Online Game's to the Academic Performance of students.

Exploratory research is a research used to investigate a problem which is not

clearly defined. It is conducted to have a better understanding of the existing

problem, but will not provide conclusive results.

Locale of the Study

The study will be conducted in the Tanza Cavite. The respondents will be

interviewed in their classroom or any comfortable place that the respondent will

choose to. These respondents will be interviewed via in person and use a voice

recorder to record what they say. The study will be conducted in the second

semester of the academic year 2019-2020.

Description of the Respondents

The researcher's interviewed random Grade 11 ICT students and they all

play Online Games in different platforms. Someone play in their mobile phones

some students in computer. The respondents age is ranging from 16 to 19. The

researcher's need to gather 15 respondents in total.

Sampling Techniques ano ba talaga? Purposive o

random? Ditto din dapat nakalagay kung ilang

respondents ang kukunin nyo

Purposive Random Sampling is used in this research. Purposive Random

sampling refers to a variety of selection techniques in which sample members are

selected by chance, but with a known probability of selection. Most social

science, business, and agricultural surveys rely on random sampling techniques

for the selection of survey participants or sample units, where the sample units

may be persons, establishments, land points, or other units for analysis. Random

sampling is a critical element to the overall survey research design. The

Researchers selected Random Students from Grade 11 ICT to be the

researcher's respondents, for us to know what are the negative effects of Online

Games to the Academic Performance of Grade 11 students.

Instrumentation describe the questions (how many,

tungkol saan, ilang category etc.)

The researchers used self-constructed questions for the respondents. The

researchers used a voice recorder that will serve as our evidence and basis for

our research topic. The researchers used Semi-structured interview, a semi-

structured interview is a meeting in which the interviewer does not strictly follow a

formalized list of questions. They will ask more open-ended questions, allowing

for a discussion with the interviewee rather than a straightforward question and

format.

Data Gathering Procedures bawal nga “we” dba, bawal

din ung ibang nakared

The research began with the development of the research title. We started

by researching ideas and developing a variety of research titles that would be a

great fit in our group and would surely be enjoyed by the panels that will read our

research title. After our Title Defense and our research title was approved, we

started doing our research which we continued in Chapter 2 after we finished

Chapter 2 we started doing our interview questions so that we would not have
difficulty in furthering our research later. After doing the research questions we

also started to produce an interview approval letter to legalize our interview with

the respondents within the FEAPITSAT Tanza school campus. This Letter was

approved by our Practical Research 1 adviser Pablito Flores and our school

Academic Head Roberto Digno. After our letter got approved, we considered

which respondents we will choose to answer our research interview questions,

we selected the male students of ICT Grade 11. We chose the male students of

ICT Grade 11 because they are the most frequently used and play online games

and we also think that they are more aware of the negative effects of online

games on them. Our questions were translated into Tagalog so that our

respondents could better understand, we also explained to the respondents

about the reason why we are interviewing, we also told our respondents that we

could ask them where they were more comfortable answering our questions, after

they answered our questions we thank them because they answered our

questions correctly and honestly. After we interviewed our respondents we began

to tally the answers of our respondents in Chapter 4 of our research study, after

which we were able to put together the coded version of their answers and their

interpretations. Our research culminated in the making of chapter 5 of our

research study. - remove ung malaking nakared, nagconclude agad kayo

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

Summary of Findings

The information the we interpreted about our research study from our

respondents has a negative effect to their academic performance, is unable to

focus on the education and is no longer have time to help with other things they

needed to do. They have time to play online games instead of themselves. In this

research of the negative effects of online games to the academic performance of

the students, there are reason why many students use online games as a tool to

relieve their stress. Many of these students can't focus on their studies for the

reason even though they have a limited amount of time they choose to play

online games than to focus on their study. We all know that playing online games

can be quite addictive it also may be the one to lead the negative effects of online

games to the students’ academic performance, some students more prioritize

their studies because they know it will help them to achieve their want in the

future and it can also help them to get a decent job in the future. Other students

use online games as a skill training program to help them improve their own skill

and experience in handling computer, lastly some students consider online

games as a program that consume most of their time. These summary of finding

are the results that our respondents have given to us.

Conclusion
 Based on the above findings, the researchers accept the assume that

Online Games does have a negative effect to the Academic Behavior of Grade
