THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The rise of online games has become a global phenomenon, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where online games became a primary source of entertainment and socialization for many people. However, online gaming poses concerns about its impact on students' academic, social, and psychological well-being. Research indicates that excessive online gaming can lead to poor academic performance, addiction, and decreased social skills. Moreover, prolonged gaming may also cause physical health problems, such as obesity, poor vision, and sleep disorders.
In the Philippines, students have become addicted to popular online games like Mobile Legends, Call of Duty, and Wild Rift. During the pandemic, many students spent most of their time on their personal electronics, causing their grades to drop and their behavior to alter significantly. According to a study by Adrales et al. (2020), the COVID-19 pandemic has made online gaming more popular, and students spent more time playing online games than before the pandemic. They found that 48.7% of the respondents reported playing online games for more than three hours a day, and 14.6% reported playing for more than six hours a day.
Moreover, the study conducted by Fabito et al. (2019) revealed that excessive online gaming is significantly related to poor academic performance among Filipino students. They found that students who spent more time playing online games had lower grades than those who played less. In addition, the study found that students who played online games during school days had significantly lower grades than those who played only during weekends.
The negative impact of online gaming on students' mental health has also been a concern. According to a study by Chang et al. (2020), online gaming addiction is associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. The study found that Filipino students who were addicted to online gaming reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than those who were not addicted.
Given the alarming effects of online gaming on students in the Philippines, the government has taken steps to regulate and control access to online games. In 2017,

CHAPTER 1
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
The rise of online games has become a global phenomenon, especially during the
COVID-19 pandemic, where online games became a primary source of entertainment
and socialization for many people. However, online gaming poses concerns about its
impact on students' academic, social, and psychological well-being. Research
indicates that excessive online gaming can lead to poor academic performance,
addiction, and decreased social skills. Moreover, prolonged gaming may also cause
physical health problems, such as obesity, poor vision, and sleep disorders.
In the Philippines, students have become addicted to popular online games like
Mobile Legends, Call of Duty, and Wild Rift. During the pandemic, many students
spent most of their time on their personal electronics, causing their grades to drop
and their behavior to alter significantly. According to a study by Adrales et al. (2020),
the COVID-19 pandemic has made online gaming more popular, and students spent
more time playing online games than before the pandemic. They found that 48.7%
of the respondents reported playing online games for more than three hours a day,
and 14.6% reported playing for more than six hours a day.
Moreover, the study conducted by Fabito et al. (2019) revealed that excessive online
gaming is significantly related to poor academic performance among Filipino
students. They found that students who spent more time playing online games had
lower grades than those who played less. In addition, the study found that students
who played online games during school days had significantly lower grades than
those who played only during weekends.
The negative impact of online gaming on students' mental health has also been a
concern. According to a study by Chang et al. (2020), online gaming addiction is
associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. The study found that Filipino
students who were addicted to online gaming reported higher levels of depression,
anxiety, and stress than those who were not addicted.
Given the alarming effects of online gaming on students in the Philippines, the
government has taken steps to regulate and control access to online games. In 2017,
Page 2 of 22

[Audio] the Philippine Senate passed Senate Bill No. 1446, or the "Internet Transactions Act," which aims to regulate online games and protect minors from harmful content. The bill requires online game developers to install a parental control system and restrict minors' access to violent and sexually explicit content. However, implementation of the law has been slow, and more needs to be done to protect students from the negative effects of online gaming.
In conclusion, online gaming has become a prevalent source of entertainment for many students in the Philippines, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, excessive online gaming can lead to poor academic performance, addiction, decreased social skills, and mental health problems. The government and educational institutions need to take action to regulate and control access to online games and educate students about the potential risks associated with excessive online gaming.
Statement of the Problem The problem of online gaming on students revolves around its potential negative effects on their academic, social, and psychological well-being. Excessive online gaming can lead to addiction, poor academic performance, decreased social skills, and physical health problems such as obesity, poor vision, and sleep disorders. While some governments have implemented laws to regulate and control access to online games, and schools are developing programs to educate students about the potential risks associated with excessive online gaming, many students still struggle with internet gaming addiction, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors of the essay aim to explore this issue and identify potential solutions to prevent students from falling into the trap of internet gaming addiction.
Research Questions How much time do senior high school students spend playing online games on a daily or weekly basis? What is the academic performance of senior high school students who play online What are the potential factors that may influence the relationship between online gaming and academic performance, such as sleep habits, study habits, or screen time limits?

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Problematic gaming may lead to several negative psychosocial consequences and mental health problems affecting available time, work, education, family, partnership, friends, social life, psychosocial well-being, social competence, leisure activities, self-esteem, and loneliness. Professional and academic problems may include poor grades, academic failure, and financial problems. Many IGD-affected adolescents will endanger their health, fail academically, and may become isolated and depressive.
Paulus et al. (2018)
This statement is highlighting the negative effects of problematic gaming on various aspects of an individual's life, including psychosocial consequences, mental health problems, and professional/academic issues. It mentions that excessive gaming can lead to problems in available time, work, education, family, and social life, affecting an individual's overall psychosocial well-being and social competence. Additionally, problematic gaming can also lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and other mental health problems such as depression.
Games are an integrative part of human behaviour and experience. During the past two decades, the availability and use of computer technology has dramatically increased and changed the world of leisure activities. Use of the Internet and computer game playing have become common activities for children and adolescents, in addition to social and traditional mass media. Recent data from the USA suggest that 8- to 10-year-olds are busy 8 hours per day, and adolescents more than 11 hours per day, with the recreational use of various electronic media. Paulus et al.

[Audio] adolescents spend more than 11 hours a day engaged in various electronic media activities for recreation. With such significant usage, it is crucial to understand the potential impact of these activities on their physical and mental well-being.
For most individuals, computer gaming is an enjoyable and stimulating activity.
Persons with various intra- and interpersonal risk factors may, however, become attracted to using computer gaming as a strategy to overcome individual problems.
Gaming and seeking for game-related pleasure may lead to neglecting 'normal' relationships, school or work-related duties, and even basic physical needs. Computer gaming may thus be conceptualized as a continuum from an enjoyable activity to pathological and even addictive use. Paulus et al. (2018)
Computer gaming is generally considered a fun and engaging activity, but for some individuals with certain personal and social risk factors, it can become a coping mechanism to address their problems. This can lead to an addiction where they prioritize gaming over their personal relationships, responsibilities, and even their physical needs. Therefore, computer gaming can be seen as a spectrum ranging from a leisurely pursuit to a pathological and compulsive behavior. The addiction to computer gaming can have severe negative consequences on an individual's life and relationships, impacting their overall wellbeing.
Irrespective of whether problematic video gameplay can be classed as an addiction, there is now a relatively large number of studies all indicating that excessive online gaming can lead to a wide variety of negative psychosocial consequences for a minority of affected individuals. In extreme cases, these can include sacrificing work, education, hobbies, socializing, time with partner/family, and sleep; increased stress; an absence of real-life relationships; lower psychosocial well-being and loneliness; poorer social skills; decreased academic achievement; increased inattention; aggressive/oppositional behavior and hostility; maladaptive coping; decreases in verbal memory performance; Griffiths, M. D. (2015)

The 2000s saw a substantial growth in the number of studies on gaming addiction particularly as gaming expanded into the online medium where games could be played as part of a gaming community, that is, massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft and Everquest. Approximately 60 studies were published on online gaming addiction between 2000 and 2010 and a vast majority of these examined MMORPG addiction and were not limited to the study of adolescent males. Griffiths, M. D. (2015)
During the 2000s, there was a significant increase in research on gaming addiction, especially as gaming shifted to the online medium, where games were played within a gaming community. This led to the rise of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like World of Warcraft and Everquest. Over the course of a decade, around 60 studies were published on online gaming addiction, with the majority of them focusing on MMORPG addiction. Contrary to popular belief, these studies were not limited to adolescent males, but rather addressed the issue of online gaming addiction across all age groups and genders. the lack of consistent approaches to treating problematic gaming and gaming addiction makes it difficult to produce definitive conclusions as to the efficacy of treatment, although the effectiveness of CBT (as with the treatment efficacy of other addictions) appears to be supported by preliminary evidence.

[Audio] The amount and the quality of research in the online gaming addiction field have progressed considerably over the last decade but the process is still in its infancy compared with other more established behavioral addictions, such as pathological gambling. Griffiths, M. D. (2015)
In the last decade, the quantity and quality of research on online gaming addiction has significantly improved. However, this field is still in its early stages compared to other more established behavioral addictions, such as pathological gambling. Despite the progress made, there is still much to learn about online gaming addiction, including its causes, risk factors, and effective treatments. This highlights the need for continued research and awareness to better understand and address the impact of online gaming addiction on individuals and society as a whole.
Online games can affect student achievement. For students who play online games excessively, it will be difficult to concentrate in lessons at school. This is because his mind always wants to play games and is curious about the game. There is no positive influence in playing online games, but it only has a negative impact or negative impact on students who are addicted to playing online games. Santinah, S.,
& Saluky, S. (2022)
This statement suggests that excessive online gaming can have a negative impact on student achievement. Students who spend a lot of time playing online games may struggle to concentrate in school because they are distracted by thoughts about the game. This can lead to a decrease in academic performance and a lack of interest in learning.
This study conducted interviews and random tests on those who like online games.
Testing the students' learning achievement and motivation shows that their learning achievement and learning motivation are still relatively low. Decreased learning motivation of students dependent on game activities will affect their learning achievement. In the learning process, motivation is essential because someone who does not have motivation in learning will not be able to carry out learning activities.

The results indicate that these individuals have lower levels of learning achievement and motivation compared to non-gamers. This decrease in motivation can negatively impact their academic performance, as motivation is crucial in the learning process. Motivation serves as a driving force that encourages individuals to pursue their learning goals. Without it, individuals may not be able to engage in learning activities effectively. Therefore, it is important to understand the impact of gaming on motivation and academic achievement to promote better learning outcomes.
Similar to other addiction and compulsive behaviour such as substance abuse, gambling, and sex, some individuals can be susceptible.The susceptibility can be due to risk factors including personal predispositions, psychological such as self-control and personality traits, unsafe environments, and the accessibility to online-gaming occasions and opportunities. understanding the risk factors of IGD can be essential for predicting those who are vulnerable to developing the condition. Knowing the risk factors is vital in designing treatment protocols and intervention programs addressing the challenging effects of IGD. Reyes, M. R.

There are various factors that can increase one's vulnerability to developing IGD, such as personal predispositions, psychological traits, environmental factors, and the accessibility of online gaming opportunities. Understanding these risk factors can be crucial in identifying those who are at risk of developing IGD and developing appropriate treatment and intervention strategies to help them overcome the negative effects of problematic gaming. By addressing these risk factors, healthcare professionals can better prevent and treat IGD in susceptible individuals.
Gaming is a form of escape from the problems they encounter in the real world.
Gamers tend to experience negative emotions or mood changes when they lose contact with gaming.

[Audio] real lives, they remain playing internet games as if their lives depends on it. Despite experiencing poor health and hygiene, a decline in academic performance decreased physical activities, and interpersonal conflicts with family and friends, participants continued to be 'passionate' in gaming. To the participants, gaming was not "just' a hobby, but a part of their lives and viewed it as a better activity than other vices.
Interestingly, participants also admitted because of problems that arise along with internet gaming tried to control their gaming activity, but most attempts were unsuccessful. Some of them experienced withdrawal symptoms. These problems caused participants' confusion and distress on becoming entwined with the opposite forces of the virtual and the physical world. Sadly, due to the dilemma, they experienced instead of mending broken relationships they would resort to internet gaming because, for them, it is a more accessible course of action. Reyes, M. R., &
Lopez, A. V. (2020).
When individuals become deeply engrossed in gaming, they can become conflicted between the virtual world they are immersed in and the real physical world around them. Despite facing difficulties and challenges in their real lives, individuals continue to prioritize their online gaming experiences, sometimes to the detriment of their physical and mental well-being. Participants often struggle with poor health and hygiene, decreased academic performance, lack of physical activity, and interpersonal conflicts with family and friends. Despite recognizing the negative impact of gaming, many participants still view it as an integral part of their lives and struggle to control their gaming behavior, even experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to reduce their gaming activity. This dilemma can lead to confusion, distress, and a reliance on gaming as a coping mechanism, further exacerbating the problem.
It suggests that gaming can serve as an escape from real-world problems and can trigger negative emotions when a gamer is unable to engage in gaming. The virtual world of gaming may become more appealing than real-life activities or hobbies, leading to a decrease in motivation to pursue those interests. Despite this, previous research has shown that video gaming can have positive effects on cognitive abilities.

real lives, they remain playing internet games as if their lives depends on it. Despite
experiencing poor health and hygiene, a decline in academic performance decreased
physical activities, and interpersonal conflicts with family and friends, participants
continued to be ‘passionate’ in gaming. To the participants, gaming was not “just’ a
hobby, but a part of their lives and viewed it as a better activity than other vices.
Interestingly, participants also admitted because of problems that arise along with
internet gaming tried to control their gaming activity, but most attempts were
unsuccessful. Some of them experienced withdrawal symptoms. These problems
caused participants’ confusion and distress on becoming entwined with the opposite
forces of the virtual and the physical world. Sadly, due to the dilemma, they
experienced instead of mending broken relationships they would resort to internet
gaming because, for them, it is a more accessible course of action. Reyes, M. R., &
Lopez, A. V. (2020).
When individuals become deeply engrossed in gaming, they can become conflicted
between the virtual world they are immersed in and the real physical world around
them. Despite facing difficulties and challenges in their real lives, individuals continue
to prioritize their online gaming experiences, sometimes to the detriment of their
physical and mental well-being. Participants often struggle with poor health and
hygiene, decreased academic performance, lack of physical activity, and interpersonal
conflicts with family and friends. Despite recognizing the negative impact of gaming,
many participants still view it as an integral part of their lives and struggle to control
their gaming behavior, even experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they attempt
to reduce their gaming activity. This dilemma can lead to confusion, distress, and a
reliance on gaming as a coping mechanism, further exacerbating the problem.
It suggests that gaming can serve as an escape from real-world problems and can
trigger negative emotions when a gamer is unable to engage in gaming. The virtual
world of gaming may become more appealing than real-life activities or hobbies,
leading to a decrease in motivation to pursue those interests. Despite this, previous
research has shown that video gaming can have positive effects on cognitive abilities.

Twenty-one Internet gamblers (60 %) were in the junior grades of 7–9, 14 (40 %) were senior graders of 10–12. All the junior graders (n = 21) played at free trial sites in the previous 12 months, but only four (28.6 %) senior graders played at these sites. The senior graders preferred wagering money on the paid sites (85.7 %), and would resort to playing at the practice sites only when they had no money to stake with.

The study found that the majority of Internet gamblers in the study were in junior grades (7-9), while 40% were senior graders (10-12). All of the junior graders in the study had played at free trial sites in the previous 12 months, while only four of the senior graders had played at these sites.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Design In our study, we will utilize a case study design to investigate the implementation and impact of a new educational intervention in a specific school district. This design is justified for several reasons. Firstly, the intervention is relatively new and has not been widely studied or implemented, making it an ideal candidate for a case study approach. By focusing on a single case, we can delve deeply into the complexities and nuances of the implementation process and gain a comprehensive understanding of its effects.
Secondly, a case study design allows us to examine the intervention within its unique context, taking into account the various factors and dynamics that may influence its outcomes. We can explore the specific characteristics of the school district, such as its resources, leadership, and community support, which may contribute to the success or challenges faced during the implementation.
Lastly, a case study design provides an opportunity for a detailed and holistic analysis of the intervention. We can employ multiple data collection methods, such as interviews, observations, and document analysis, to gather rich and diverse information. This approach allows us to capture the various perspectives of key stakeholders involved in the implementation process, including teachers, administrators, and students, and to gain insights into the complexities of the intervention's impact on teaching and learning.

[Audio] Sampling Method Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where participants are selected based on their easy accessibility and availability to the researcher. This sampling method is often used when time, resources, or logistical constraints limit the ability to access a broader population. While convenience sampling may not provide a representative sample of the population, there are situations where it can be justified.
Firstly, convenience sampling is particularly useful in exploratory or preliminary studies when researchers are seeking initial insights or conducting pilot investigations. This approach allows for quick and easy data collection from readily available participants, facilitating the initial exploration of a research topic.
Secondly, convenience sampling can be appropriate when the research focuses on a specific subgroup within a larger population. For example, if a study aims to investigate the experiences of university students, selecting participants from a specific campus or department may be justified to gather relevant and focused data.
Data Collection Procedure We will be using a survey methodology to collect data for our study. This methodology is appropriate for our study because it allows us to collect data from a large number of people quickly and easily. The survey will be self-administered and closed-ended, which makes it inexpensive, easy to implement, and less time-consuming to analyze. We will distribute the survey through email or social media We will be working together to design the survey, distribute it to participants, and analyze the data. We will each have specific roles and responsibilities, but we will all be working towards the same goal of completing a successful study. We are confident that our study will be a valuable contribution to the field of research. We are excited to get started and to see what we can learn.

[Audio] Data Collection Tool Online surveys are a popular method of data collection for a variety of reasons. They are convenient for participants, as they can take the survey at their own pace and in their own time. They are also convenient for researchers, as they can collect data from a large number of people quickly and easily. Additionally, online surveys can be used to collect data from a diverse population, as they can be accessed by people from all over the world.
There are a few potential drawbacks to using online surveys. One is that they can be susceptible to bias, as participants may be more likely to respond to surveys that they agree with. Additionally, online surveys can be difficult to control, as participants may not answer all of the questions or may provide inaccurate information.
Despite these potential drawbacks, online surveys are a valuable tool for data collection. They are convenient, efficient, and can be used to collect data from a diverse population.

Data Analysis Procedure We believe that descriptive statistics are the best way to analyze the data that we have collected. They are relatively easy to understand and interpret, and they can be used to answer a variety of questions about the data.
In addition to descriptive statistics, we will also be using inferential statistics to analyze our data. Inferential statistics are used to make inferences about a population based on a sample. For example, we might use inferential statistics to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the average age of people who responded to our survey and the average age of the general population.
We believe that using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics will give us a comprehensive understanding of our data and allow us to make accurate and informed conclusions.

Data Collection Tool
Online surveys are a popular method of data collection for a variety of
reasons. They are convenient for participants, as they can take the survey at their
own pace and in their own time. They are also convenient for researchers, as they
can collect data from a large number of people quickly and easily. Additionally, online
surveys can be used to collect data from a diverse population, as they can be
accessed by people from all over the world.
There are a few potential drawbacks to using online surveys. One is that they can be
susceptible to bias, as participants may be more likely to respond to surveys that
they agree with. Additionally, online surveys can be difficult to control, as participants
may not answer all of the questions or may provide inaccurate information.
Despite these potential drawbacks, online surveys are a valuable tool for data
collection. They are convenient, efficient, and can be used to collect data from a
diverse population. We believe that online surveys are the best way to collect data

Chapter 1
T-H-E research PROBLEM AND ITS background Introduction The rise of online games has become a global phenomenon
 especially during the COVID-19 pandemic
 where online games became a primary source of entertainment and socialization for many people. However
 online gaming poses concerns about its impact on students' academic
 social
 and psychological well-being. Research indicates that excessive online gaming can lead to poor academic performance
 addiction
 and decreased social skills. Moreover
 prolonged gaming may also cause physical health problems
 such as obesity
 poor vision
 and sleep disorders.
In the Philippines
 students have become addicted to popular online games like Mobile Legends
 Call of Duty
 and Wild Rift. During the pandemic
 many students spent most of their time on their personal electronics
 causing their grades to drop and their behavior to alter significantly. According to a study by Adrales and others (2020)
 the COVID-19 pandemic has made online gaming more popular
 and students spent more time playing online games than before the pandemic. They found that 48.7% of the respondents reported playing online games for more than three hours a day
 and 14.6% reported playing for more than six hours a day.
Moreover
 the study conducted by Fabito and others (2019) revealed that excessive online gaming is significantly related to poor academic performance among Filipino students. They found that students who spent more time playing online games had lower grades than those who played less. In addition
 the study found that students who played online games during school days had significantly lower grades than those who played only during weekends.
The negative impact of online gaming on students' mental health has also been a concern. According to a study by Chang and others (2020)
 online gaming addiction is associated with depression
 anxiety
 and stress. The study found that Filipino students who were addicted to online gaming reported higher levels of depression
 anxiety
 and stress than those who were not addicted.
Given the alarming effects of online gaming on students in the Philippines
 the government has taken steps to regulate and control access to online games. In 2017

Page 2 of 22

the Philippine Senate passed Senate Bill No. 1446
 or the "Internet Transactions Act
" which aims to regulate online games and protect minors from harmful content. The bill requires online game developers to install a parental control system and restrict minors' access to violent and sexually explicit content. However
 implementation of the law has been slow
 and more needs to be done to protect students from the negative effects of online gaming.
In conclusion
 online gaming has become a prevalent source of entertainment for many students in the Philippines
 especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However
 excessive online gaming can lead to poor academic performance
 addiction
 decreased social skills
 and mental health problems. The government and educational institutions need to take action to regulate and control access to online games and educate students about the potential risks associated with excessive online gaming.
Statement of the Problem The problem of online gaming on students revolves around its potential negative effects on their academic
 social
 and psychological well-being. Excessive online gaming can lead to addiction
 poor academic performance
 decreased social skills
 and physical health problems such as obesity
 poor vision
 and sleep disorders. While some governments have implemented laws to regulate and control access to online games
 and schools are developing programs to educate students about the potential risks associated with excessive online gaming
 many students still struggle with internet gaming addiction
 particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors of the essay aim to explore this issue and identify potential solutions to prevent students from falling into the trap of internet gaming addiction.
Research Questions 

How much time do senior high school students spend playing online games on a daily or weekly basis?


What is the academic performance of senior high school students who play online 

What are the potential factors that may influence the relationship between online gaming and academic performance
 such as sleep habits
 study habits
 or screen time limits?
Page 3 of 22

General Objective 

To investigate the effects of online games on students and identify potential solutions to minimize the negative impact.
Specific Objectives 

To examine the relationship between online gaming and academic performance among students.


To identify the psychological and social effects of excessive online gaming on students.


To explore the government's policies and regulations on online gaming and their effectiveness in minimizing negative effects on students.
Scope and Delimitations However
 this study has several limitations and delimitations. First
 the study will only include senior high school students in Bonifacio Camacho National High School
 and the findings may not be applicable to other settings. Second
 the study will only focus on the relationship between online gaming and academic performance
 and will not examine other potential effects of online gaming
 such as socialization or mental health. Third
 the study will rely on self-reported data on gaming habits
 which may be subject to recall bias or social desirability bias. Finally
 the study will not address the issue of causality
 as it is not possible to determine whether online gaming directly causes changes in academic performance or whether other factors are at play Page 4 of 22

Chapter 2
review OF related literature Problematic gaming may lead to several negative psychosocial consequences and mental health problems affecting available time
 work
 education
 family
 partnership
 friends
 social life
 psychosocial well-being
 social competence
 leisure activities
 self-esteem
 and loneliness. Professional and academic problems may include poor grades
 academic failure
 and financial problems. Many IGD-affected adolescents will endanger their health
 fail academically
 and may become isolated and depressive.
Paulus and others (2018)
This statement is highlighting the negative effects of problematic gaming on various aspects of an individual's life
 including psychosocial consequences
 mental health problems
 and professional/academic issues. It mentions that excessive gaming can lead to problems in available time
 work
 education
 family
 and social life
 affecting an individual's overall psychosocial well-being and social competence. Additionally
 problematic gaming can also lead to low self-esteem
 loneliness
 and other mental health problems such as depression.
Games are an integrative part of human behaviour and experience. During the past two decades
 the availability and use of computer technology has dramatically increased and changed the world of leisure activities. Use of the Internet and computer game playing have become common activities for children and adolescents
 in addition to social and traditional mass media. Recent data from the U-S-A suggest that 8 to 10-year-olds are busy 8 hours per day
 and adolescents more than 11 hours per day
 with the recreational use of various electronic media. Paulus and others (2018)
Games have always played a significant role in human behavior and experiences.
However
 with the increased availability and use of computer technology
 leisure activities have drastically changed. The internet and computer game playing have become commonplace activities for children and adolescents
 alongside traditional mass media and social media. According to recent data from the U-S-A
 young individuals aged between 8 to 10 years old spend approximately 8 hours a day
 while Page 5 of 22

adolescents spend more than 11 hours a day engaged in various electronic media activities for recreation. With such significant usage
 it is crucial to understand the potential impact of these activities on their physical and mental well-being.
For most individuals
 computer gaming is an enjoyable and stimulating activity.
Persons with various intra and interpersonal risk factors may
 however
 become attracted to using computer gaming as a strategy to overcome individual problems.
Gaming and seeking for game-related pleasure may lead to neglecting 'normal' relationships
 school or work-related duties
 and even basic physical needs. Computer gaming may thus be conceptualized as a continuum from an enjoyable activity to pathological and even addictive use. Paulus and others (2018)
Computer gaming is generally considered a fun and engaging activity
 but for some individuals with certain personal and social risk factors
 it can become a coping mechanism to address their problems. This can lead to an addiction where they prioritize gaming over their personal relationships
 responsibilities
 and even their physical needs. Therefore
 computer gaming can be seen as a spectrum ranging from a leisurely pursuit to a pathological and compulsive behavior. The addiction to computer gaming can have severe negative consequences on an individual's life and relationships
 impacting their overall wellbeing.
Irrespective of whether problematic video gameplay can be classed as an addiction
 there is now a relatively large number of studies all indicating that excessive online gaming can lead to a wide variety of negative psychosocial consequences for a minority of affected individuals. In extreme cases
 these can include sacrificing work
 education
 hobbies
 socializing
 time with partner/family
 and sleep; increased stress; an absence of real-life relationships; lower psychosocial well-being and loneliness; poorer social skills; decreased academic achievement; increased inattention; aggressive/oppositional behavior and hostility; maladaptive coping; decreases in verbal memory performance; Griffiths
 M D  (2015)
Griffiths is emphasizing that regardless of whether problematic video gaming meets the criteria for addiction
 there is a substantial body of research that suggests excessive online gaming can lead to negative consequences for a minority of individuals. The negative consequences listed include sacrificing work
 education
 hobbies
 socializing
 time with partner/family
 and sleep
 increased stress
 an absence Page 6 of 22

of real-life relationships
 lower psychosocial well-being and loneliness
 poorer social skills
 decreased academic achievement
 increased inattention
 aggressive/oppositional behavior and hostility
 maladaptive coping
 and decreases in verbal memory performance.
The 2000 seconds saw a substantial growth in the number of studies on gaming addiction particularly as gaming expanded into the online medium where games could be played as part of a gaming community
 that is
 massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft and Everquest. Approximately 60 studies were published on online gaming addiction between 2000 and 2010 and a vast majority of these examined MMORPG addiction and were not limited to the study of adolescent males. Griffiths
 M D  (2015)
During the 2000s
 there was a significant increase in research on gaming addiction
 especially as gaming shifted to the online medium
 where games were played within a gaming community. This led to the rise of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like World of Warcraft and Everquest. Over the course of a decade
 around 60 studies were published on online gaming addiction
 with the majority of them focusing on MMORPG addiction. Contrary to popular belief
 these studies were not limited to adolescent males
 but rather addressed the issue of online gaming addiction across all age groups and genders. the lack of consistent approaches to treating problematic gaming and gaming addiction makes it difficult to produce definitive conclusions as to the efficacy of treatment
 although the effectiveness of C-B-T (as with the treatment efficacy of other addictions) appears to be supported by preliminary evidence. Griffiths
 M D  (2015)
Treating problematic gaming and gaming addiction can be challenging due to the lack of consistent approaches. Therefore
 it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding the effectiveness of treatment. However
 based on preliminary evidence
 cognitive-behavioral therapy (C-B-T--) appears to be effective in treating gaming addiction
 as with other types of addiction. Despite this
 further research is necessary to establish the most effective treatment methods for gaming addiction.
Page 7 of 22

The amount and the quality of research in the online gaming addiction field have progressed considerably over the last decade but the process is still in its infancy compared with other more established behavioral addictions
 such as pathological gambling. Griffiths
 M D  (2015)
In the last decade
 the quantity and quality of research on online gaming addiction has significantly improved. However
 this field is still in its early stages compared to other more established behavioral addictions
 such as pathological gambling. Despite the progress made
 there is still much to learn about online gaming addiction
 including its causes
 risk factors
 and effective treatments. This highlights the need for continued research and awareness to better understand and address the impact of online gaming addiction on individuals and society as a whole.
Online games can affect student achievement. For students who play online games excessively
 it will be difficult to concentrate in lessons at school. This is because his mind always wants to play games and is curious about the game. There is no positive influence in playing online games
 but it only has a negative impact or negative impact on students who are addicted to playing online games. Santinah
 S.

& Saluky
 S (2022)
This statement suggests that excessive online gaming can have a negative impact on student achievement. Students who spend a lot of time playing online games may struggle to concentrate in school because they are distracted by thoughts about the game. This can lead to a decrease in academic performance and a lack of interest in learning.
This study conducted interviews and random tests on those who like online games.
Testing the students' learning achievement and motivation shows that their learning achievement and learning motivation are still relatively low. Decreased learning motivation of students dependent on game activities will affect their learning achievement. In the learning process
 motivation is essential because someone who does not have motivation in learning will not be able to carry out learning activities.
Motivation is a condition in the form of encouragement within a person
 either in the form of encouragement from within or outside
 to do something to achieve specific goals in learning Santinah
 S.
 & Saluky
 S (2022)
Page 8 of 22

This study focused on individuals who enjoy playing online games and involved interviews and random testing. The results indicate that these individuals have lower levels of learning achievement and motivation compared to non-gamers. This decrease in motivation can negatively impact their academic performance
 as motivation is crucial in the learning process. Motivation serves as a driving force that encourages individuals to pursue their learning goals. Without it
 individuals may not be able to engage in learning activities effectively. Therefore
 it is important to understand the impact of gaming on motivation and academic achievement to promote better learning outcomes.
Similar to other addiction and compulsive behaviour such as substance abuse
 gambling
 and sex
 some individuals can be susceptible.The susceptibility can be due to risk factors including personal predispositions
 psychological such as self-control and personality traits
 unsafe environments

Understanding these risk factors can be crucial in identifying those who are at risk of developing I-G-D and developing appropriate treatment and intervention strategies to help them overcome the negative effects of problematic gaming. By addressing these risk factors
 healthcare professionals can better prevent and treat I-G-D in susceptible individuals.
Gaming is a form of escape from the problems they encounter in the real world.
Gamers tend to experience negative emotions or mood changes when they lose contact with gaming. Gamers would instead choose to sit down and engage in the virtual world

When individuals become deeply engrossed in gaming
 they can become conflicted between the virtual world they are immersed in and the real physical world around them. Despite facing difficulties and challenges in their real lives
 individuals continue to prioritize their online gaming experiences
 sometimes to the detriment of their physical and mental well-being. Participants often struggle with poor health and hygiene
 decreased academic performance
 lack of physical activity
 and interpersonal conflicts with family and friends. Despite recognizing the negative impact of gaming
 many participants still view it as an integral part of their lives and struggle to control their gaming behavior
 even experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to reduce their gaming activity. This dilemma can lead to confusion
 distress
 and a reliance on gaming as a coping mechanism
 further exacerbating the problem.
It suggests that gaming can serve as an escape from real-world problems and can trigger negative emotions when a gamer is unable to engage in gaming. The virtual world of gaming may become more appealing than real-life activities or hobbies
 leading to a decrease in motivation to pursue those interests. Despite this
 previous research has shown that video gaming can have positive effects on cognitive abilities.

Twenty-one Internet gamblers (60 %) were in the junior grades of 7–9
 14 (40 %) were senior graders of 10–12. All the junior graders (n = 21) played at free trial sites in the previous 12 months
 but only four (28.6 %) senior graders played at these sites. The senior graders preferred wagering money on the paid sites (85.7 %)
 and would resort to playing at the practice sites only when they had no money to stake with.

The widespread availability of gaming and internet stations
 which are legally permitted by local government units
 has made it easier for students to skip their classes and engage in computer gaming activities during school hours or late into the night. Additionally
 with the advent of online classes
 students are allowed to use their mobile devices and computers during class
 providing them with easy access to the internet and online gaming platforms. This ease of access has led to a rise in the number of students playing online computer games
 not just at home or in internet cafes
 but even in educational environments. As a result
 this behavior can potentially hinder academic progress and negatively impact the learning experience.

Computer game addiction is a worrying aspect of the modern-day technologically able youth. Many students spend hours a day on computers
 so much so that computers have become a primary source of entertainment for them and because of that
 they forget the role of being a student.
Computer games can provide a means of entertainment to alleviate boredom; however
 it can also lead to addiction due to a lack of self-control. Computer game addiction is a growing concern among today's technologically advanced youth
 with many spending excessive amounts of time on computers. In fact
 computers have become the primary source of entertainment for many students
 causing them to lose focus on their academic responsibilities. As a result
 the addictive nature of computer games can be detrimental to an individual's overall well-being and productivity.
Besides being a source of entertainment

research methodology Research Design In our study
 we will utilize a case study design to investigate the implementation and impact of a new educational intervention in a specific school district. This design is justified for several reasons. Firstly
 the intervention is relatively new and has not been widely studied or implemented
 making it an ideal candidate for a case study approach. By focusing on a single case
 we can delve deeply into the complexities and nuances of the implementation process and gain a comprehensive understanding of its effects.
Secondly
 a case study design allows us to examine the intervention within its unique context
 taking into account the various factors and dynamics that may influence its outcomes. We can explore the specific characteristics of the school district
 such as its resources
 leadership
 and community support
 which may contribute to the success or challenges faced during the implementation.
Lastly
 a case study design provides an opportunity for a detailed and holistic analysis of the intervention. We can employ multiple data collection methods
 such as interviews
 observations
 and document analysis
 to gather rich and diverse information. This approach allows us to capture the various perspectives of key stakeholders involved in the implementation process
 including teachers
 administrators
 and students
 and to gain insights into the complexities of the intervention's impact on teaching and learning.

Sampling Method Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where participants are selected based on their easy accessibility and availability to the researcher. This sampling method is often used when time
 resources
 or logistical constraints limit the ability to access a broader population. While convenience sampling may not provide a representative sample of the population
 there are situations where it can be justified.
Firstly
 convenience sampling is particularly useful in exploratory or preliminary studies when researchers are seeking initial insights or conducting pilot investigations. This approach allows for quick and easy data collection from readily available participants
 facilitating the initial exploration of a research topic.
Secondly
 convenience sampling can be appropriate when the research focuses on a specific subgroup within a larger population. For example
 if a study aims to investigate the experiences of university students
 selecting participants from a specific campus or department may be justified to gather relevant and focused data.
Data Collection Procedure We will be using a survey methodology to collect data for our study. This methodology is appropriate for our study because it allows us to collect data from a large number of people quickly and easily. The survey will be self-administered and closed-ended
 which makes it inexpensive
 easy to implement
 and less time-consuming to analyze. We will distribute the survey through email or social media We will be working together to design the survey
 distribute it to participants
 and analyze the data. We will each have specific roles and responsibilities
 but we will all be working towards the same goal of completing a successful study. We are confident that our study will be a valuable contribution to the field of research. We are excited to get started and to see what we can learn.

Data Collection Tool Online surveys are a popular method of data collection for a variety of reasons. They are convenient for participants
 as they can take the survey at their own pace and in their own time. They are also convenient for researchers
 as they can collect data from a large number of people quickly and easily. Additionally
 online surveys can be used to collect data from a diverse population
 as they can be accessed by people from all over the world.
There are a few potential drawbacks to using online surveys. One is that they can be susceptible to bias
 as participants may be more likely to respond to surveys that they agree with. Additionally
 online surveys can be difficult to control
 as participants may not answer all of the questions or may provide inaccurate information.
Despite these potential drawbacks
 online surveys are a valuable tool for data collection. They are convenient
 efficient
 and can be used to collect data from a diverse population. We believe that online surveys are the best way to collect data for our study. a copy of our survey forms
Data Analysis Procedure We believe that descriptive statistics are the best way to analyze the data that we have collected. They are relatively easy to understand and interpret
 and they can be used to answer a variety of questions about the data.
In addition to descriptive statistics
 we will also be using inferential statistics to analyze our data. Inferential statistics are used to make inferences about a population based on a sample. For example
 we might use inferential statistics to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the average age of people who responded to our survey and the average age of the general population.
We believe that using a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics will give us a comprehensive understanding of our data and allow us to make accurate and informed conclusions.
