Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if the Mobile Legends has a significant

Influence on the Academic Performance of the students. Specifically, this study would

like to find answers the following questions; What is the typical number of playing hours

of the respondents in a day? Does playing mobile legends affect the Academic

Performance of the students? Is there any significant relationship between Mobile

presented, hypothesis was formulated: There is a significant relationship between the

independent variable, Mobile Legends, and the dependent variable, Academic

Performance of the students.

There is a significant relationship between Mobile Legends and the Academic

Performance of the students. Based on the data gathered, almost half of the respondents

are influenced by Mobile Legends. Most of them are plays in the range of 1-3 hours a

day. The collected data were tabulated, analysed, subjected and correlated to appropriate

statistical treatment. The data shows that the impact of playing Mobile Legends is not

negative but positive instead. So, it still has significant influence of mobile games to the

Academic Performance of the students.

respondents.

The relationship between Mobile Legends and Academic Performance of the

students attained -0.4439302876 which correspond to a fair linear relationship that means

there is a significant correlation between variables. Moreover, there is a significant

relationship between Mobile Legends and Academic Performance of the Students. This
