Various literatures have discussed that the sociality in any environment dictates the
academic functioning of a student, especially his interest to schooling. The principal
objective of this descriptive-correlational research study was to measure the significant
correlation between sociality in multiplayer online games and academic interest of senior
high school students in St. Mary’s College of Bansalan, Inc. (SMCBI). This study utilized two
adapted questionnaires during the data collection. Through the Google Forms software, the
survey was virtually administered to 54 senior high school students of SMCBI. The collected
data were analysed and interpreted by a statistician using four statistical tools, namely,
relative frequency, weighted mean, analysis of variance, and Pearson’s r. The interpreted
data were presented and explained further by the researchers in a concise manner. The
survey results showed that the level of sociality in multiplayer online games is moderate and
that the level academic interest is moderate. There is no significant difference on the level
of both sociality in multiplayer online games and academic motivation according to gender,
age group, year level, and SHS program. Sociality in multiplayer online games and academic
interest were weakly correlated in a positive manner. Keywords-descriptive-correlational

This paper outlines a proposal for the development of educational multiplayer online
games based on the activity theory, as an alternative to the current trend in multiplayer
gaming and a means of promoting collaboration among students. In order to examine
whether online games are engaging for learners, we consider multiple factors regarding
game play – such as frequency of game use, gender differences, identification with the
characters, and game preferences – as well as some psychosocial factors that may influence
learning – such as academic performance, self-esteem, and computer self-efficacy. This
paper suggests that online multiplayer educational games should be approached as a
complex learning system, based on the principles of activity theory, where the Subjects
would interact with other Subjects, Objects and Tools of the game, under specified Rules
and create Communities through division of labor, leading to the expected learning
outcome. Thus, we suggest taking into account some important issues concerning the
Subjects that the activity theory refers to, such as gender differences in playing games,
academic performance, self-esteem and computer self-efficacy.

THE STUDENTS IN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES LABORATORY HIGH
SCHOOL

KnE Social Sciences, 1205–1210-1205–1210, 2018

This study was conducted to assess and find out the impact of on-line gaming on the
academic performance and social behavior of the students in the Polytechnic University of
the Philippines-Laboratory High School. Furthermore, this study sought answers on the
significant relationship between playing on-line games and academic performance and to
social behavior of the students. The study revealed that boys are more of a player compared
to girls who often play games that require three or more players like League of Legends,
Clash of Clans, Crossfire and many more to mention. It is also stated that those who play
online games are around 14-15 years old who are believed to be in the Grade 8 level. These
students who often play games have an average weekly allowance of 101 pesos to 500
pesos. Playing online games do not affect their grades badly for they know how to limit
themselves. They know that they need to control themselves in order to function well in
their class that is why they only play games during vacation and weekends with a lot of time
compared when they have classes. Even though they play online games; they know how to
socialize well and they can perform very well when it comes to academic performance.
However, it is inevitable not to play even for half an hour especially when they are
accustomed to it. Therefore, it is just a matter of discipline.

 A STUDY OF TIME MANAGEMENT: THE CORRELATION BETWEEN VIDEO GAME USAGE AND
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE MARKERS

Author: Vivek Anand

Cyber Psychology & Behavior 10 (4), 552-559, 2007

This study analyzes the correlation between video game usage and academic
performance. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and grade-point average (GPA) scores were
used to gauge academic performance. The amount of time a student spends playing video
games has a negative correlation with students’ GPA and SAT scores. As video game usage
increases, GPA and SAT scores decrease. A chi-squared analysis found a p value for video
game usage and GPA was greater than a 95% confidence level (0.005 << 0.01). This finding
suggests that dependence exists. SAT score and video game usage also returned a p value
that was significant (0.01p < p < 0.05). Chi-squared results were not significant when
comparing time spent studying and an individual’s SAT score. This research suggests that
video games may have a detrimental effect on an individual’s GPA and possibly on SAT
scores. Although these results show statistical dependence, proving cause and effect
remains difficult, since SAT scores represent a single test on a given day. The effects of video
games maybe be cumulative; however, drawing a conclusion is difficult because SAT scores
represent a measure of general knowledge. GPA versus video games is more reliable
because both involve a continuous measurement of engaged activity and performance. The
connection remains difficult because of the complex nature of student life and academic
performance. Also, video game usage may simply be a function of specific personality types
and characteristics.

Indonesian Journal of Educational Research and Technology 3 (1), 13-18, 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the rise in online gaming and the absence of face-to-
face education in schools has raised worries about the effect on students’ academic
performance. This study aimed to find out the relationship between the level of online
learning and the academic performance of BPEd students. It is in this light of this study to
assess the level of impact of online games to theL1) health aspect, (2) social aspect,(3)
intellectual aspect, and (4) academic performance of chosen BPED students at Sultan
Kudarat State University Access Campus. The researchers employed a descriptive-evaluative
research approach since the study’s findings would analyze students’ engagement in online
gaming applications, and the researchers used Google Forms to collect the data they
required. With a total of thirty respondents, the set questionnaires employed will act as a
data collection tool. Frequency count and weighted mean were the statistics employed in
the investigation. According to the survey, the majority of the respondents are in the 20-
year-old age group, with 40% of the respondents coming from the second-year level. It also
revealed that the majority of respondents who played online games are men, accounting for
80 percent of the study’s respondents. Based on the findings of this study, it can be
concluded that playing online games has no substantial association with the respondents’
academic success, as evidenced by their Probability-value.

 WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM PLAYING INTERACTIVE GAMES?

Author: Debra A Lieberman

Playing video games, 447-469, 2012

Interactive games are powerful environments for learning. Research consistently

finds that players learn new skills, knowledge, insights, attitudes, or even behaviors in
games that challenge them to think, explore, and respond (see, for example, Betz, 1995;
Gee, 2003; Dempsey et al., 1996;Jayakanthan, 2002; Kirriemuir, 2002; Lieberman, 1997,
2001a; Potter, K.R. 1999; Prensky, 2001).

 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF ONLINE GAMES ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Author: Kurt Garcia, Nelson Jarabe, Jessie Paragas

Southeast Asian Journal of Science and Technology 3 (1), 69-72, 2018

This paper attempted to study the negative effects of online games on students’
academic performance. The respondents were the 154 Grade 11 senior high school students
in Pangasinan State University-Lingayen Campus in SY 2017-2018. As descriptive-
correlational research, the study utilized a questionnaire that asked the respondents about
their playing online games and the level of negative effect on their academic performance.
The paper sought to determine the level of effect of playing online games on the
respondents’ performance in assignments, quizzes, class recitation, paper works and
examinations, and correlate said negative effects with their culture on playing online games.
They were asked to rate the level of effect as severe, moderate and negligible. The study
found out that majority of the respondents played online games. Online games players had
an average academic performance while non-players had a high academic performance. The
predominantly male players preferred multi-player online games and they spent an average
2.14 hours a day and 4.45 days a week in playing. Their primary motivation in playing was
for entertainment. There was a moderate negative effect of playing online games on their
academic performance in assignments, quizzes, class recitation, paper works and
examinations. There was a significant correlation between the respondents’ GPA in Grade
10, their daily and weekly hours spent in playing, their motivation in playing online games
and the level of negative effects on their academic performance. Based on the findings of
the study, the researchers recommended that parents should do something in limiting their
children’s fondness in online games and that computer shop owners should prohibit
students from playing online games during class hours.

Cogent Education 5 (1), 1437671, 2018

Technological advances have provided educational institutions the capability to

explore various online teaching strategies such as digital games in the classroom. Though
games can be used to engage various learning styles and behaviors, the platform is mainly
practiced at the secondary educational grade level with traditional-aged students. Little
research literature exists that explores the influence of digital game-based learning on the
academic achievement of non-traditional undergraduate students. An extensive literature
review of 77 articles was conducted using the procedure developed in Cooper’s Taxonomy
(1998) for analyzing and synthesizing literature. Cooper’s system involved (a) formulating
the problem, (b) collecting data, (c) evaluating data appropriateness, (d) analyzing and
interpreting relevant data, and (e) organizing and presenting the results. This scoping
literature review explores how digital games can be used in the educational environment to
support the learning of non-traditional students.

 SERIOUS GAMES AS A MALLEABLE LEARNING MEDIUM: THE EFFECTS OF NARRATIVE,
GAMEPLAY, AND MAKING ON STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE AND ATTITUDES

Author: Varvara Garneli, Michail Giannakos, Konstantinos Chorianopoulos

British Journal of Educational Technology 48 (3), 842-859, 2017

Research into educational technology has evaluated new computer‐based systems

as tools for improving students’ academic performance and engagement. Serious games
should also be considered as an alternative pedagogical medium for attracting students with
different needs and expectations. In this field study, we empirically examined different
forms of serious‐game use for learning on learning performance and attitudes of eighty 13‐
year‐old students in the first grade of middle school. Divided into four groups of 20
students, each group practiced with a maths video game in three ways. The first group
played the storytelling maths game, the second played the same game but with no story
and the third played and modified the video game. Finally, a control group practised in a
paper‐based (traditional) way by solving exercises. Although only minor differences in
learning performance were identified, we found significant differences in the attitudes of
the students toward learning through the video game. Students who are not motivated by
conventional paper‐based assignments might be engaged better with the use of a video
game. Our findings suggest that video game pedagogy could provide malleable learning for
different groups of students using methods that move beyond the conventional tool‐based
approach.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY ON GENDER, VIDEO GAME PLAY, ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND COMPLEX
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

Author: Muhterem Dindar

Computers & Education 125, 39-52, 2018

This study investigated the video gaming behaviors of 479 high school students with
respect to gender-based differences, as well as the relationship between video gaming,
academic success and Complex Problem-Solving skills (CPS). Video gaming was measured
under the gaming experience, gaming time, gaming frequency, perceived gaming skills,
playing alone vs. Playing with a team, and game genre dimensions. The Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 Creative Problem-Solving test was utilized to
measure CPS. Findings showed that the sampled males had more experience and skills in
video gaming and spent more time on video games than their female counterparts. On the
other hand, it emerged that the females actually played video games more often than the
males. No relationship of practical significance was found between any of the video gaming
variables investigated in the study and CPS or academic success. The current findings
contribute to the limited empirical evidence on the relationship between video gaming and
CPS, and demonstrate that the transferal of video gaming skills to real-life problem solving
might not be as obvious as is claimed in the literature.

 EFFECTS OF ONLINE GAMES ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Author: Eli Nolan, James Hughey, January 19, 2023

Online gaming is a popular pastime. However, one must consider its effects on
academic performance. Some studies show that specific types of games enable problem-
solving and teamwork skills, but other research shows that it leads to a need for more
management skills. Regardless, you must know that when left unregulated, excessive
gaming will have drawbacks that outweigh the positives.

Briefly, one must find a balance between fun and academic responsibilities. Parents
can monitor their children, but college students must take this responsibility independently.
After recognizing the benefits and drawbacks, you should self-reflect on your behavior and
schedule. Do not give up your pastime, but make sure you have a life balance.

 THE EFFECT OF EDUCATIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY GAME ON PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’
ACHIEVEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT IN MATHEMATICS

Author: Emrah Akman, Recep Çakır

Interactive Learning Environments, 1-18, 2020

Recently, virtual reality seems to be developing rapidly. However, it can be said that
virtual reality is in the early days of adoption for education. Studies show that using virtual
reality in education can positively affect students’ learning experiences. In this study, the
effect of an educational virtual reality game, named “Keşfet Kurtul”, on fourth-grade
students’ academic achievement in fractions and their engagement to mathematics was
investigated. The experimental study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design. The
educational VR game was used in the treatment group (N = 32). In the comparison group (N
= 32), the method applied in school, which includes predominantly mobile applications
developed in fractions, were used. As a result of the research; the educational VR game
“Keşfet Kurtul” was found to increase academic achievement and to maintain the level of
student engagement in mathematics. It was determined that the experimental method has
the same effect as the method applied in school in the comparison group, in terms of
academic achievement and student engagement to mathematics. Besides, in terms of social
sub-dimension of student engagement, it was observed that Keşfet Kurtul was more
effective than the method applied in school.
