Bsed G-1 ML or LM - A Correlational Study Between Playing Mobile Legends and Academic Performance of CRMC Senior High School Students

CHAPTER 1 – THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
Advanced technology has changed the gaming business in the twenty-first
century, with internet games becoming increasingly popular. Millions of people used the
internet to participate in the new kind of entertainment. Many Filipinos, mostly students,
are heavily involved in online gaming in the Philippines. One of the most popular online
games in the nation is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This program is available for free
download; however, some game things may be purchased for real money.
Shanghai Moonton Technology created and released this game. It's a 5v5
Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) for iOS and Android smartphones that includes
a number of playable heroes, game modes, and controls tailored to touchscreen
devices. It has two competing teams each defending their own base. Philippines was
ranked No. 2 in the game with the greatest number of downloads in 2020, with 41.2
million, or 15% of the overall number of downloads. Many Filipino kids are influenced by
online gaming in a variety of ways.
According to Jana (2020), playing online games for lengthy periods of time might
negatively impact a student's academic performance. According to studies, spending
more time playing onscreen games is linked to poor academic performance. According
to a poll, 47 percent of heavy online players received unsatisfactory ratings, while 23
percent of light users did better. However, according to certain studies, it improves
student creativity and critical thinking. The activity in online games trains players to

PLAYING MOBILE LEGENDS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
make quick judgments in a single second. They also require close attention to deal with
sudden changes in the game. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has recently gained
popularity among the younger generation. According to some studies, it has a positive
impact on student learning and even education as a whole.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, according to Bautista (2019), can assist players
improve a variety of abilities that can be applied in real-life circumstances. The finest
examples of abilities that may be cultivated and nurtured while playing Mobile Legends:
Bang Bang include strategic thinking, critical thinking, and multitasking skills. The most
important goal in this game is to win. Using the concepts in your thoughts to create an
excellent plan design can truly help you get there. The game fosters collaboration and
social interaction by connecting colleagues over a server.
Mobile Legends is currently one of the most popular online games among
teenagers. This game serves as a fun past time for them, and it is one of the reasons
they enjoy playing it. Because of the impact of other players, we can see that many
individuals play mobile legends. Playing mobile legends has a significant impact on a
student's academic achievement. Mobile Legends is regarded as one of the most time-
consuming games in the world; players have no idea how much time has passed while
playing. There are a variety of reasons why mobile legends can impair a student's
academic performance and why some teenagers play them frequently. Students'
interest in mobile devices has a significant impact on their academic performance. The
2
study's goal was to see if there was a link between playing mobile legends and
students' academic achievement at CRMC Senior High School.
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
The researchers gathered a number of hypotheses and made sure they were
well-articulated and easy to comprehend.
Joseph Walther created the Social Information Processing Theory. According to
this hypothesis, online interpersonal connections take longer to form than face-to-face
interactions, but once formed, they function similarly to face-to-face contact. It explains
how people form and sustain online interactions in a computer-mediated environment.
Sumner and Ramirez (2017) claim that social information processing theory provides a
testable collection of theoretical frameworks for understanding how and why individuals
would engage in interpersonal conversations in sparse online contexts devoid of most
nonverbal indicators. The hypothesis originated in response to early academic concerns
that the lack of signals in computer-mediated contact created a more difficult
environment for impression formation and connection formation.
According to Dockrill (2012), children who spend time playing online games on a
daily basis are gaining analytical and problem-solving skills that will aid them in their
schooling. He also stated that when playing online games, you must solve puzzles in
order to advance to the next level, which necessitates the use of some of your general
knowledge and skills in math, reading, and science.
3
During the day, students were taught. Computer games have grown in
importance as a source of amusement for children, teenagers, and even adults all
around the world. Computer games compel many individuals to play because they
provide access to a virtual world with limitless possibilities.
Furthermore, playing online games is indicated by: addiction, need for
advancement, need for mastering the mechanics, need for relationship and need for
escapism (Xu et al., 2011) The use of digital games in the classroom has proven to be
beneficial in terms of improving learning outcomes (Trybus, 2014). Digital games, when
strategically created and integrated, have the ability to improve academic and learning
efficacy. The study on digital game-based learning for non-traditional students enrolled
in postsecondary education, as well as the impact games may have on success and
learning outcomes, is examined in this broad literature review.
In many situations, the games are based on real-life experiences or workplace
abilities. Nontraditional learners gain more genuine context for skill acquisition through
digital game-based learning (Trybus, 2014). Adult learning and digital games share
several key characteristics: (1) a genuine context that reflects how information is used in
real life, (2) authentic activities, (3) multiple points of view and roles, (4) games can
provide linked assessment of learning, and (5) games can scaffold learning or
instruction at critical points.

CHAPTER 2- REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
INTRODUCTION
This chapter will focus on recent studies and publications that are relevant to the
topic of the researchers. Although some of the studies included do not directly address
internet use or academic achievement, the debate in general comes within the scope of
those factors. These will serve as a foundation for the researchers' knowledge of how
the study will proceed.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
As reported by Senthil (2018), in recent years, academic recommendations for
students have altered dramatically. Students currently spend more time online, and their
reading and reference habits have significantly changed from traditional methods. They
looked at how internet behaviors like data use and the number of pages viewed had a
positive (or negative) influence on Cumulative Grade Point Average in their paper
(CGPA). With an average CGPA of 6.04, students who browse more websites have a
somewhat better CGPA. Students who visit fewer websites, on the other hand, have a
CGPA of 5.58. This suggests that having internet connection would increase academic
achievement.
A review by Mills (2016) on “The review, titled "Adolescents in the Digital Age:
Effects on Health and Development," brings together the most recent scientific research
on Internet usage with related experimental studies to investigate how online habits and
the structure of the online environment can affect adolescents' cognitive development.
8
The findings of this study suggest that while cognitive changes are occurring, they are
not hindering teenagers' or emerging adults' capacity to efficiently manage our
increasingly linked environment. Indeed, exposure to these new developments is linked
to improved social integration and even improved cognitive abilities, such as task
switching speed. Any cognitive gains as a result of Internet use are not reason for
concern, but rather a beneficial adaptation to a changing reality.
According to an article titled What Are the Advantages of the Internet– Java Point
(2020), the following are some of the benefits of using the internet: it makes
connectivity, communication, and sharing more efficient and effortless; it provides
endless knowledge and information that contains data from various subjects; it can map
and guide users to almost any location in the world with the help of GPS technology; It
allows users to access account balances, make transactions, transfer money, and pay
bills electronically without leaving their home; it makes donations and funding more
accessible because anyone with an internet connection can easily donate to charities
and funding projects; it provides access to an endless supply of entertainment by
allowing users to watch videos, movies, and listen to music without leaving their home;
it allows users to access account balances, make transactions, transfer money, and pay
bills electronically without leaving their home; it allows users to access account
balances, make transactions, transfer money, It connects computers and internet-
enabled devices to cloud storage, allowing them to perform complex tasks and act as
storage that can be accessed from anywhere; it improves devices by connecting them
to the Internet of Things (IoT); and it connects computers and internet-enabled devices
to cloud storage, allowing them to work from home or have a virtual office.

When students are in flow, they are having the best experience possible are
using their mobile devices to play games. They become so engrossed in a project that
they forget about everything else. Everything appears to be unimportant for a period.
Students are frequently misled in their minds that they must master their game strategy.
As they enter the flow state, students who are considered ardent gamers continue to
seek difficulties to retain their level or rank in the game. Furthermore, the level of
personal state of flow experience has a significant impact on students' conduct when
playing online mobile games.
Playing online games among teenagers is a trend that is entertaining,
demanding, reduces boredom, and intrigues users. It encourages the user to play
indefinitely. As a result, online game users in Indonesia for Lyto goods have surpassed
6 million (Syahran, 2015). Teenagers are more likely than adults to become addicted to
internet games.
Students hooked to online games, according to Pande & Marheni (2015);
Rahman & Nursalim (2021), are more likely to have lower academic achievement. If the
online gaming addiction variable score increased, learning achievement declined; on
the other hand, if the learning accomplishment variable score increased, the variable
score increased. Learning achievement is linked to online gaming addiction because it
acclimates students to dynamic stimuli such as those present in online games, making
them bored when confronted with a blackboard and books that provide a stationary
stimulation.
10
Masya and Candra (2016) did earlier study on online games and discuss the
elements that lead to youth preferring online games. While this study focuses on causal
variables, there are additional things to consider, such as the symptoms of students
who are addicted to online games, the impact that online game addiction might have,
and how teachers who advise students try to minimize their addiction to online games.
There is also a relationship between social skills in early adulthood and online
gaming addiction, according to study undertaken by Virlia & Setiadji (2017); Sandy &
Hidayat (2019). Because most respondents use online games as a stress reliever and
an outlet for their concerns, the characteristics of online game addiction that likely to be
high include coping. Aspect elements are common in the social skills component.
Furthermore, internet gaming might serve as a distraction, lowering student
motivation. Vony (2020) discovered that increasing levels of online game addiction will
lower student motivation.
Addictive students choose to spend more time playing online games than
learning. On the other hand, if you spend a lot of time online, you'll develop a gaming
addiction. (Durak, 2019).
Teens who are addicted to online games are less passionate about other
activities and become restless when they are unable to play online games (Jannah,
Mudjiran, & Nirwana., 2015). Adolescents who spend a lot of time on the internet have a
hard time socializing in real life.

11
Teenagers are more likely than adults to become addicted to internet games.
adults. Adolescence, especially while it is in a state of flux, tends to become engrossed
with novel experiences (Jordan & Andersen, 2017).
According to a study (Brand, Todhunter, & Jervis, 2017); (Jordan & Andersen,
2017); González (2018), internet gaming distraction is an increasingly widespread
disorder that can have a serious influence on young people. The problem arises
because of the low cost and eases of access to online games, which is one of the
elements that can lead to addiction, as well as the availability of a smartphone, which
can be used as capital to access online games without limits.
Teenagers, according to King & Potenza (2019), are among the most diligent
online digital entertainment users, particularly of video games and related online
activities (for example, live streaming, eSports broadcasts). According to global study, a
big percentage of teens said they played games on a range of platforms last year,
including personal computers, laptops, consoles, and, as technology has advanced,
cellphones.
Research by Kurniawan (2017); Rahman & Nursalim (2021) show that a person's
reliance on playing online games has an impact on academic procrastination and thus
academic success. The ramifications can be significant. Students tend to behave in
academic procrastination, as evidenced by the significant-high intensity of students
playing online games. As a result, it is vital to make measures to reduce pupils' high
12
levels of academic procrastination. Controlling the intensity of playing online games is
one effort that may be done.
According to Dinata and Risdayati (2017), playing online games makes them feel
obligated to play, and it becomes a duty every time. Controlling, minimizing, or ceasing
to play online games requires work. However, when they try to minimize or stop playing
online games, they feel saturated, restless, moody, even melancholy, or irritated.
According to Yarasani, Shaik, and Myla (2018), game disorders are on the rise,
resulting in psychosocial disorders, anxiety, sadness, mood disorders, sleep problems,
headaches, a lack of social activities, and interruption in schooling among kids. As a
result, now is the time to establish guidelines for the use of electronic devices, the
internet, and video games.
Adolescents who spend a lot of time on the internet have a hard time socializing
in real life. The visible characteristics of adolescents addicted to online gaming are an
apathetic attitude and a lack of willingness to mingle with society (Sandy & Hidayat,
2019). (Griffiths, Kuss, & King, 2012).
Because of the possibility for maximal interaction and excitement, video gaming
is an inescapable environment for the younger generation. Furthermore, technocrats
are devoting resources and are racing to develop newer concepts for developing this
gaming equipment. "It is compatible with all existing PC games, movies, and one may
live-stream from online gaming communities," writes Ayyar (2016) in a newspaper story
titled "Start-ups push beyond reality with AR and VR." This obviously demonstrates how
important gaming is for future generations of children and adolescents, and so this field
requires further investigation. According to a media report (Times of India, December

13
10, 2015), playing 3D video games can improve memory, according to a study done by
Craig Stark and Dane Clemens at UCI's Center in California. Their research discovered
that playing 3D video games like 'Super Mario' can help gamers improve their memory.
On the other hand, a few researches have looked at the negative aspects of
video games and digital technology. In an article titled Dizzy? One such research is
mentioned. Murphy (2015) refers to a study conducted at Coventry University's Centre
for Mobility and Transport in England as "cyber illness." "It is a normal response to an
unnatural environment," it says. It further claims that dizziness is caused by the loss of
digital balance caused by motion induced by gaming or comparable gadgets. It also
claims that seeing fast-moving digital pictures, which are becoming more popular,
causes nausea. The findings of the preceding studies compelled us to investigate if
gamers' video gaming habits have an impact on their academic performance.
The influence of the internet on the academic performance of students at a few
Nigerian higher institutions was investigated by Ivwighreghweta and Igere (2014). The
sample population consists of six thousand (6000) pupils. The study found that the
majority of the students were computer literate and used the internet, that they
frequently accessed the internet from Cyber Café, that they consult the internet to
retrieve relevant academic materials, that the majority of the students rated the internet
for academic pursuit as average, and that E-journals and E-books were popular. They
claim that the internet has helped them study enough for their tests. It was also revealed
that there were power shortages, slow internet connections, and a lack of computer
14
terminals, some of the challenges hindering efficient internet access at Nigerian higher
institutions were too many hits or information overload, as well as a shortage of
computers.
Duley's dissertation (2020) looked at how students' internet habits relate to their
scholarly achievement as a way of figuring out why the state has the lowest average
score among the US states. In his dissertation, he used both qualitative and quantitative
research methods. The former was used to provide a broad overview of how students
use the internet and their habits, whereas the latter was used to quantify the amount of
time students spend on various internet activities, whether academic or not, and their
relationship to their overall Scholastic Aptitude Test results and its separate core
elements. Students who use the internet for academics or social media had higher SAT
scores, according to quantitative studies. There was no evidence that gaming or internet
streaming had a good or negative influence on pupils' grades. Students' qualitative
responses indicated that using the internet had no effect on their academic
performance. Duley (2020) came to the conclusion that internet use improves student
performance. He went on to say that laws governing restricted internet usage can help
students reach even higher levels of success.
Javaeed. Et al. released research in 2020 that analyzed Pakistani undergraduate
medical students' online addiction and how it impacts their academic performance. They
used Dr. Young's questionnaire to measure the students' internet addiction. Javared et
al., (2020) also gathered the results of the students' professional exams to use as a
benchmark for their academic success. In their survey, more than a quarter of the
15
respondents fell into the category of severe internet addiction, with just less than 1%
falling into the group of not addicted. Only around half of the respondents had
responses ranging from sixty-one to seventy percent, and less than one percent has
responses above eighty percent. Their research found that internet addiction has a
major impact on a student's academic performance, which is likely to worsen as internet
usage grows.
Playing video games, on the other hand, can have certain advantages, such as
enhanced hand-eye coordination and the possibility for improved academic abilities
(when "educational" games are played) (Charles, 2011). According certain forms of
video games can assist children learn to follow directions as well as build their problem-
solving and logical brain processes, according to the article "The Good and Bad Effects
of Video Games?" Inductive reasoning and hypothesis testing are additional skills that
children may pick up.

enrolled in the first semester of the Academic year 2021 to 2022.
INSTRUMENT
20
The information is gathered using messenger by sending questions in the form of
Google forms, which responders can quickly access and respond to. which is a
correlational investigation of mobile legends and academic performance.
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
The online survey questionnaire used close-ended using messenger by sending
questions in the form of Google forms, which responders can quickly access and
respond to. The questions will first collect the demographic data of the students and
their grade 12 1st semesters GWA.
DATA ANALYSIS / THREATMENT OF DATA
Pearson correlation product formula and descriptive statistics will be used to
analyze this data. It is useful for interpreting data supported themes and patterns. This
approach will assist the researchers in managing the surveys and a clear result.
21
ETHICAL CONSIDERATION
In this section the researcher must discuss or explain the ethical action he/she
made before, during and after the data collection
Protection from human rights
It is our primary responsibility as researchers to safeguard and respect as well as
not violate our respondent’s rights as human beings. Every student has the right to
privacy, which means that they have the option to say no and refuse to answer the
survey questions if they do not wish to. Thus, as non-violators of human rights, we, the
researchers will not compel or force any students to take part in this survey.
Risk-benefit Ratio Determination
Risk is defined as the probability of physical, psychological, social, or economic
harm occurring as a result of participation in a research study and benefit applies to the
potential of the research treatment to ameliorate a condition or treat a disease. This can
22
apply to an individual participant or to a population. In research as in clinical medicine,
result cannot be guaranteed but, as a consequence of prior work, a benefit may appear
to be reasonable expectation. ( Korenmo, N, D.) the benefit of the study includes an in-
depth perception of what's going on, additional information, and solutions to solve such
problems. On the other hand, the risk is not being able to get a clear answer or
sufficient amount of data as this study is very subjective.

Content, Comprehension and Documentation of the informed Consent.
The researchers will provide all important information of the research to the
respondents before participating in the survey. The researchers will make sure that they
have read thoroughly and understand every information in the provided text. It will be
informed to the participant that their participation is voluntary and can withdraw at any
time without questioning their personal reasons and without cost.

Privacy and confidentiality
One of the terms of the consent is that the respondent's privacy to be respected.
To protect our respondent’s privacy, we will take the following steps; display their first
name when recording or publishing data. We will be cautious not to publish to much of
information that could lead to the identification of our respondents. Safeguarding this
information is a critical component of the researcher participant trust and respect
relationship.
Debriefing Communications and referrals

23
The researcher will give further information to the participant at the end of their
participation in order for them to know and be reminding of what is the purpose of the
study. This also provides an opportunity for the respondents to ask question and
discuss about how they feel about the research paper.

Incentives or compensation
The research will reach out the respondents personally digitally or physically
kindly and politely in order for them to feel prioritize specially to friends and family to
make them realize how much their answer, mean to the study and impact that it could
create. In addition, the researcher value priority as it could lead to better mental and
physical health as well as higher levels of satisfaction and motivation for batter
productivity and connection of the researchers and the respondents.

Conflicts of interest
There are no conflicts of interest because, first and foremost, none of the
researchers stands to profit financially from the findings of this study. Second, every
action in this study is divided equally among the researcher, so there can be no conflicts
when it comes to carrying out our responsibilities. Finally, we made it clear that no
outside participants would be allowed to participate in this study because everything is
kept confidential.
Recruitment
24
The researchers will recruit participants via social media platforms; however, the
researchers must first obtain and ensure that they are interested and that we are not
intruding on their time. In order to avoid any complications, the researchers need to be
cautious when recruiting individuals. The participants play a crucial role in helping us
collect statements and conduct research.

Vulnerability assessment
The main focused of this study are the graduating senior high school at Cebu
Roosevelt Memorial Colleges. As a result of the academic, students were at risk, both in
terms of their health and their future. Students can be affected by having exposure to
the institution if there is an outbreak, and spread the virus wherever they go, especially
when they return home

Collaborative Study Terms of Reference
Collaborative is very important when conducting a study since it ensures a more
successful and efficient outcome. The researcher should share ideas, documents, and
data to collaborate with different groups. Once there is collaboration there will be
brainstorming, which will result in a better end and more possibilities for solving the
problem.
following precautions were taken when conducting this study in accordance with
ethical guidelines:
The researchers first sought permission from the school to perform the study at
CRMC senior high school in Bogo City. Following that, the researchers submitted the
25
approval and requested permission from the selected sections to participate in the
investigation.
All personnel being supervised and monitored the work conducted by members
of the research team and other support staff were informed of the necessary
expectations, obligations, and responsibilities. Furthermore, the researchers would
refrain from engaging in discriminatory, harmful, or exploitative practices or any
perceived form of harassment, whether personally or professionally (e.g., not imposing
views/beliefs on or seeking personal, sexual), avoid deceiving or coercing other
researchers, including successors, assistants, students, and trainees, into serving as
research subjects/ participants or using them as cheap labor, and avoid deceiving or
coercing other researchers, including successors, assistants, students
To protect everyone's rights, the survey's results would be kept private, and the
respondents would remain anonymous. Only privileged co-authors have access to
evaluate the manuscript, examine the final version of the article, and consent to its
submission for publication, guaranteeing that all co-authors' names appear in the final
version of the paper.

4.2 ANALYSIS OF DATA
Here we have collected 50 students in Cebu Roosevelt Memorial Colleges from
Grade 11 and 12.
As expected, 50 students in the school have a grade reaction which mean their
grades went down. We also collected their ML using minutes per day.
Statistical Treatment of Data
Mean
The mean is used to determine the general average per day of Cebu Roosevelt
Memorial Colleges SHS. The mean will ascertain the fields if there is a relationship
between their playing of ML to their academic performance . There are two (2)
hypotheses:
29
Ho = There is no correlation between Facebook app usage and academic performance
(μ1 = μ2)
Ha = There is a correlation between Facebook app usage and academic performance
(μ1 ≠ μ2)
Formula: = μ
Where:
∑= means “the sum of”
X = all the individual items of the sample
N = the no. of sample
Computing the Deviation in each grade and ML using time per day of the students
The deviation in each grade and ML using time per day which are Cebu Roosevelt
Memorial Colleges SHS.
Deviation =
30
In computing the Standard Error of Difference Between Means the default formula will
be used. As it is the result of the two group of grades and ML using time per day being
calculated each other and it is the solution to get the r-statistic.
Knowing the Critical Value.
Df = N2
N = the no. of students
A = .05
Compare the t-statistic (computed value) to critical value (from the table).

The table shown above is the calculation of the Mean of Cebu Roosevelt
Memorial Colleges SHS which is the sum of the students’ app usage (X) and average

grade (Y) then divided by the total number of the students which is fifty (50) is equals to
M = 90.6 (X) and M = 91.6 for (Y) . The second step is computing the deviation which is
the subtracting deviation from the Mean it will be (X-x̄) and (Y-ȳ) . The third step is the
multiplying deviation (X-x̄)(Y-ȳ) then add the whole column it is equal to (X-x̄)(Y-
ȳ)=1,111.64. The fourth is squaring deviations which is the (X-x̄)² and (Y-ȳ)² then add
each column (X-x̄)²=330,282 (Y-ȳ)²=721.2. The fifth step is the computing r which is
a=0.07 . Next step is knowing the critical value which is a=0.05 equals to 0.273.
Comparing the t-statistic (computed value) to critical value (from the table) there is a
significant difference between the two group because the computed r (0.23) is much
higher than the table t (0.273). Therefore there is no negative impact between playing
ML with their academic performance.
