Background of the Study

Playing video games online may be entertaining as well as potentially dangerous, having an effect
on a person's physical and mental health. It has been demonstrated to have a number of
detrimental impacts on students, including the exacerbation of depressive and anxious moods.
These effects include diverting time from essential activities such as studying or engaging in
outdoor games, and can lead to addiction and aggressive behavior, as noted by B. James in 2022
(E. Zamani, 2009). Studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the
likelihood of children developing an addiction to online gaming, as the shift from traditional in-
person education to online learning has led to increased screen time (2021, W. Elsayed). Given
that we are still in the phase of distance learning, it is clear that many children, particularly
students, are being significantly affected by online gaming, especially in relation to their academic
performance.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the effects of internet gaming on students. Studying this matter is
essential to educating children about the possible drawbacks of playing video games online,
especially as it relates to St. Vincent de Paul Academy students.
To gather data, the researchers conducted a survey with the following questions
How can the respondents be described in terms of:

1.1 Age
1.2 Gender
Has playing online games resulted in a decline in your grades or academic performance?
Do you believe that playing online games has a positive effect on you?
Does playing online games impact you as a student?
Can you maintain academic productivity while addicted to online games?
Have you ever experienced conflicts with family or friends due to your involvement in online
gaming?
The Significance of the Study

Title: Internet Gaming Disorder
Objective: To investigate the negative effects of being addicted to playing mobile games and to
know how it is connected to our health Respondents: The online survey was conducted among 20
students from Saint Vincent de Paul Academy.
Instrument: A survey containing question on the use of Internet gaming disorder, and the
challenges faced utilizing mobile games. Significant things Online game addiction can cause

students to lose focus during class, which will affect their academic performance. Instead of
completing their schoolwork, they waste the majority of their time playing internet games. Online
gaming caused students to lose focus, which negatively impacted their academic achievement.
• Because of mobile game addiction, it may caused Loneliness, Anger, Anxiety, Depression to
the students, they tend to be more alone while playing than socializing.
• Because of good quality addicted game, many people payed for their game to buy high value
characters.
This study aims to investigate the negative effects of mobile gaming addiction and its connection
to health. Conducted among 20 respondents from Saint Vincent de Paul Academy, the research
found that online game addiction can cause students to lose focus during class, affecting their
academic performance. More than half of the respondents were severely addicted to mobile
games, influenced by friends and YouTube gamers. The addiction led to feelings of loneliness,
anger, anxiety, and depression among the students
Local Studies
In the Philippines, online gamig is also a trend. According to Rhys Elliot, 74% of the Philippines
online population play games on mobile. A survey conducted by Rakuten Insight in the
Philippines found that 75% of respondents stated that they were playing online games
However, research conducted by DO Dumrique in Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Laboratory High School found that online games did not affect the academic performance of the
students. Despite playing online games, they still performed well academically. Contrarily, a
study conducted at the Mount Carmel School of Maria Aurora (MCSMA) Inc. Senior High
School found that the majority of their respondents stated that online games had a negative impact
on their studies and health. Conceptual Framework Online gaming's effect on academic
achievement is a complicated topic that requires careful consideration of many different aspects.
These include the use of online games,academic achievement, and moderating elements including
the home environment, the qualities of the games, and the characteristics of the students. The
improvement of cognitive abilities, hand-eye coordination, multitasking, social skills, and
motivation are among the possible advantages of playing online games. On the other hand,
violence, a ddiction, and distraction are possible drawbacks. Theoretical frameworks such as
structural-functionalist theory, symbolic interactionist theory, social cognitive theory, flow theory,
and uses and gratifications theory can all be used to examine how online games affect students'
academic achievement.

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of the study was to investigate how St. Vincent de Paul Academy students' academic
performance was affected by their participation in online gaming. Its goal was to make students
more conscious of the possible drawbacks of playing video games online, especially with regard
to how it could affect their academic standing. Focus groups, open-ended surveys, and in-depth
interviews were the research instruments employed. Thematic analysis was used to examine the
gathered data.
Findings
Online gaming affects children in both positive and negative ways, according to the study.
Positively, playing online games can foster the growth of motivation, social skills, multitasking,
hand- eye coordination, and cognitive abilities. On the down side, meanwhile, playing online
video games can result in addiction, distraction, and aggressiveness.
It was discovered that friends and YouTube players had a significant influence on the more than
half of respondents who acknowledged having a serious addiction to online gaming. It was
discovered that the students' addiction contributed to their feelings of melancholy, anxiety, rage,
and loneliness
Additionally, it was discovered that although internet gaming was popular, it had no effect on
students' academic achievement. The fact that students were still able to achieve academic success
suggests that they can manage their gaming habits in addition to their academic obligations.
Recommendations
1. Counseling services for students who are addicted to online gaming should be offered by
schools. This could assist students in controlling their gaming behaviors and avert any detrimental
effects on their academic standing.\
2. In order to prevent their child's online gaming from interfering with their scholastic obligations,
parents should keep an eye on their child's gaming activities.
1st. Page 11 of 18
St. Vincent de
3. Instructors must to be conscious of the possible effects that internet gaming may have on their
pupils and offer assistance when required
4. It is important to inform students about the possible drawbacks of playing video games online
and to motivate them to reconcile their gaming habits with their academic obligations.
5. Future studies on this subject and other possible effects of internet gaming on pupils should be
pursued. Examining the effects on general well-being, social skills, and physical health are a few
examples of this.
By addressing these recommendations, it is hoped that the negative impacts of online gaming can
be minimized, and the positive impacts can be maximized. This could help to ensure that students
are able to enjoy online gaming while still achieving their academic goals.
