THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS

Introduction:

The Internet as a source of data plays a vital part in creating one's intellect and

life encounters by making profitable works in schools, workplaces, and indeed at

domestic. These days, this may be a person's most efficient strategic device for

empowering himself to require charge and adapt to the quickly developing technology.

Online gaming is one of the widely used leisure activities by many people. For some

people, it is said that playing video games has several reasons to be played, for it can be

a stress reliever, challenge and competition, relaxation, enjoyment, social interaction,

and even mentally escaping from the real world. For most people, online gaming is one

of the best pastimes that they acquire especially for teenagers, youngsters, and

students. According to Kuss & Griffiths [2], teens who play online games are just having

fun. They do not just actually play because of some sort of seriousness, but also

because they just want to feel relief. During school hours, students tend to feel stressed

due to loads of school work, and playing it will relieve their stress. As the time goes by,

Online Gaming in the Philippines starts to grow and have different features like high

quality graphics,more enjoying the twist of the game and of course how the game is

being played. The researchers aim to show what are the impacts of it on the time

management of a person and how will affect its life. The study was conducted to know a

person’s opinion about it, whether this contained advantages and disadvantages. This

research aims to find out how it impacts a person’s life and how time consuming an

online game is.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Statement of the problem:

The main purpose of this said study is to aid and spread awareness to students

on the negative and/or positive impact of online games on the time management of

students, and to provide a solution to the negative impacts of said problem. The

obstacles faced by the students might be caused by the lack of time management skills

of a student and their lack of knowledge on how to overcome the negative effects of this

problem, giving them a hard time organizing the things they have to do.

This study aims to answer the following questions:

1. What are the difficulties experienced by the students that had the negative impact of

online games to their time management?

2. What are the positive effects of online games to their time management?

3. What are the solutions available to the affected students so that they can ease away

from these negative impacts?

Significance of Study:

The underlying success of this research paper will be greatly benefited to the

following:

Parents. This study will help parents in guiding their children to greatly change

their time management skills and lessen the stress their children may partake in. This

also helps parents understand their children more, creating way less stress and

conflict when helping out their children on things they do not have a deep understanding

of.
 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Students. This study will further help you know what you lack in your time

management skills and help you develop said skills so that in the future you won't have

any more problems in this said field.

Teachers. This paper will further enhance your understanding on how students

behave. This will also help you on scheduling your activities with students as some

subjects may collide with your’s and eventually stack up on students.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study:

This study focuses on the different impacts of Online Games on a students’ time

management. The researchers will conduct a study on those students that are 15-20

years old since most of those ages are most likely to be a player of Online Games.

Mainly the respondents will just be selected from the range of 15-20 years old. The

survey will be done out and in the coverage of the campus. So, for the chosen

respondents, in conducting the study, the method to be used is an online

survey-questionnaire method. The researchers will choose a minimum of 5 and

maximum of 10 as the respondents

METHODOLOGY

This chapter deals with research design, the population, sampling, instruments and

procedures for data collection and analysis. Criteria for establishing trustworthiness and

ethical consideration were also discussed.

Method of Research

This research focuses on the positive and negative impact of online games on

the time management of the students. The main tool used by the researchers to collect

the data is the process of survey. Moreover, the questions will be answered based on the

situation and experience of the students.

The qualitative research method was used on this research to gather and interpret

the datas about the present conditions by analyzing the answers of the respondents on

the survey. Moreover, by using this method it emphasizes the present status of a certain

phenomenon. It portrays a current situation, person and process. The students who play

online games at the same time studying are the one to possess the necessary

information about the issue being investigated upon.

Crossman (2020) features that the Qualitative research is a type of social science

research that collects non-numerical data and works with it, so we can understand the

social life of a particular population or places on these studies. With this type of research

, the research can be universal, because of the data gathered it can be related to words
 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

and situations. It gives us a comprehensive understanding of the answers of those

chosen respondents. Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing

non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or

experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new

ideas for research. Qualitative research is used to understand how people experience

the world. While there are many approaches to qualitative research, they tend to be

flexible and focus on retaining rich meaning when interpreting data.(Published on June

19, 2020 by Pritha Bhandari).

Key Informants Selection

The respondents of this study were purposely selected students aged 15-20

years old who are actually engaged in playing online games. There were (number of

corresponding respondents). The inquisitors used purposive sampling techniques. The

purposive sampling is also known as judgemental,selective or subjective sampling which

relies on the judgement of the researchers when it comes to selecting the units

(e.g.,people, cases/organisations,events, pieces of data) that are to be studied.

This study used this kind of method for the reason that there are specific

characteristics that the study needed. These techniques will surely manifest in the

reason of selecting non probability sampling based on the specific reason.

This means that the researchers will get the targeted sample quickly because of

the effectiveness of the selected technique.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Research Instruments

The Research Instrument is usually determined by researchers and is tied to the

study methodology. This includes the survey or checklist the researches needed to

conduct. And the way that the surveyor came up with the participants. You may be asked

open-ended questions by the use of technology, where the respondents will be given an

opportunity to express their views and insights about the given question. And the

participants needed to answer the questions that the surveyor’s going to ask, they could

answer by their own words that would make them comfortable to answer. They will be

given an online questionnaire to participants who are able to answer it. Using technology

devices such as phones,laptops or computers, they will be given an ample of time to be

able to answer the survey.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher's study entitled " The Impact of Online Games in Time

Management of Students" purposely imply the problems of students in time

management. This study uses the purposive sampling . It is a non-probability sample

that is selected based on characteristics of a population and the objective of the study

(Crossman , 2020) . In this research the researchers use this because their main goal is

the response from students who are playing online games while studying so they can

definitely see the weaknesses or strengths and to be able to raise an awareness or

encouragement to students who want to play games and study as well.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

The researchers constructed a letter of consent for the specified students before

gathering the data and information of respondents, and making sure it is secured first

and given permission to respondents during the gathering of data.Before giving away the

consent and questionnaire of the survey of researchers it has to be checked by the

research teacher, the research teacher is expected to validate and inspect the

formulated questions regarding the topic. The researchers will give questions to the

selected respondents, and answer it in their own word and opinion freely. After gathering

data and information, it has to be recorded, summarized and analyzed by the answer of

respondents given.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the methods, techniques, research design, the

population, sampling, instruments and procedures for data collection and analysis.

Methods and Techniques used

This research focuses on the negative and positive effects of online games in

students' time management. The main tool used by the researchers to collect the data is

the process of survey. Moreover, the questions will be answered based on the situation

and experience of the students.

The researchers used the qualitative method of research to gather information

about the students who play online games.

The researchers use purposive sampling techniques, because in general we

want to access a specific sub-group of folks, as all study participants are really chosen

because they essentially fit a specific profile, they thought.

Population and Sample of the Study

The respondents of this study were ten purposively selected from students in or

out of the campus and aged between 15 to 20 years old and playing online games.

The researcher used the purposive or judgement sampling a frequently-applied

conceptually-driven approach. It involves the researcher deliberately and purposefully

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

selecting the sample they believe can be the most fruitful in answering the research

question. This selection process can be guided by consideration of the variables or

qualities of potential participants that affect the contribution they could provide to the

study. These variables may be simple demographics such as age, gender and

socioeconomic status but can also include more nuanced aspects such as specific

attitudes or beliefs.[Farrugia 2019]

Therefore , researchers would get the sample easily and rapidly because of the

usefulness of this technique.

Instrument of the Study

Survey

Structured Interview. The structured interview is when the interviewer asks a

particular set of predetermined open-ended questions. In structured interviews ,question

are planed, and create in advance so you may be asked question about what do you

play online games,what did you like about online games and other casual question, we

used structured interview because we conducted by the used of technology.

Wherein the respondents will be given an opportunity to express their views and

insights about the given question. And the participants needed to answer the questions

that the surveyor’s going to ask, they could answer by their own words that would make

them comfortable to answer.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of the data accumulated

by the researchers. The data was analyzed and interpreted utilizing thematic analysis to

answer the research questions addresses brought up in chapter 1.

The collected qualitative data become the basis of knowing the impact of

playing online games in time management of students.

Results

1. What are the difficulties experienced by the students that had the negative

impact of online games to their time management?

Four themes were identified to answer the first research questions. They are as

follows:

Theme 1: Losing focus on studying

From the data gathered, it showed that two participants claimed that their

learning was affected. Because of spending more time playing online games it creates a

negative impact on their academic performance.

Participant 1 stated "Most of the time, we forget what our priorities are because

of the online games. We focus more on this rather than attending our online classes and

doing our school work." Participant 2 stated "Having not enough energy when attending

class because I'm lack of sleep." The statement claims that lack of sleep affects a

person's mood. It causes loss of appetite or loss of self.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Theme 2: Addiction to games

From the data gathered, three participants agreed that playing online games is

addictive. When you start playing it, there is a possibility that you will become obsessed

with it and this can be caused by losing control of yourself in spending time here.

With these thoughts, participants 1,2 and 3 said that It is difficult to control

themselves when they are addicted to playing it.

Theme 3: Poor mental health

It has been demonstrated that video game addicts suffered poorer mental health

and cognitive functioning, and increased emotional difficulties, such as enhanced

depression and anxiety, as well as more social isolation.

Participant 1 stated that "Based on my own experience the negative effect of

online games or playing online games is lack of sleep and at the same time they can

damage your eyesight”, Participant 10 stated that "It may affect your health. You may

have a lack of sleep because you spend more time playing online games." Some of the

respondents have poor mental health because of online games.

Theme 4: Not prioritizing important tasks

From the data gathered, some of the respondents are not prioritizing the important

tasks like doing household chores, doing school work and also not prioritizing their family

and other surroundings because of online gaming.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Participant 3 stated that "Online games consumed most of the family and study

time. It also hinders us to have some social time and to not explore about different things

around us anymore..", Participant 6 stated that “Masyadong maraming oras ang

ginagamit para sa para sa paglalaro ng online games at hindi na masyado nakakatulong

sa bahay at kulang na rin sa tulog.". Participant 9 stated that "Bilang isang online gamer,

I think the negative effect of online games in my own experience ay hindi ko na

nasusunod yung mga utos ng parents or ate ko dahil kailangan kong tapusin yung laro

ko at dahil doon nagagalit sila sa akin at pinagmumulan na ito ng away.". The answers of

participant 3, 6 and 9 representing that they're not prioritizing their tasks and because of

that the relationship of their family is having a quarrel every time.

2. . What are the positive effects of online games to their time management?

Four themes were identified to answer the second research question. They are

as follows:

Theme 1: Socializing

Multiplayer Online Games (MOGs) like Defense of the Ancients and StarCraft II

have attracted hundreds of millions of users who communicate, interact, and socialize

with each other through gaming.

Participant 1 stated that "You learn how to socialize with others and then make

new friends.", socializing through games is one of the best in gaming especially when

you feel sad and lonely and also because of socializing you can gain friends or
 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

game buddies. In gaming one of the positive impacts is the students will improve their

social skills.

Theme 2: Stress Reliever

Stress reliever is something that relieves the stress. Based on the answers of the

respondents, gaming is one of the ways to relieve the stress.

Participant 4 stated that "Stress reliever, one way to communicate to your

friend who's playing the same game, having a great time and enjoyment.", Participant 5

stated that "It will save you from sadness, pero pag puro talo lumbay ka.", Gaming is one

of the stress relievers especially for the students and also gaming can save you from

sadness.

Theme 3: Learning English

Learning English is usually learned by the students from the school but based

on the answer of one of the respondents, some students who play online games can

also learn English through gaming especially when the student is socializing with

different players around the world.

Participant 6 stated that "I learn English and I've found some playing

buddies.". Finding playing buddies in different countries is one of the best experiences in

gaming. Chatting with players who live in different countries is one of the ways to learn

different languages, especially English.

 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

Theme 4: Gaining Friends

Gaining friends through gaming is also one the best. Having online

friends is fun and exciting. Online friendships can develop in places like forums, gaming

sites, blogs, online groups, Facebook, or even from websites that help you meet friends.

Participant 8 stated that "I can play with my friends", Participant 9 stated that

“I'm Ineovina and because of online games I have a lot of friends.” Based on the

answers of the participant 8 and 9, gaming is also a way to find and gain friends. Gaming

is exciting especially if you have friends with you in the game.

Online gaming has positive effects like the answers of the respondents like

socializing, gaining friends, learning English and also gaming is a stress reliever

especially on the teenagers and youngsters

3. . What are the solutions available to the affected students so that they can

ease away from these negative impacts

One theme was identified to answer the third research question. They

are as follows:

Theme 1: Time and Self - Management

Time and Self-Management can help students to focus on what they need to do

and prioritize things and organize it, Managing your time and self little by little can help

you get through to your task and finish your goal clearly and smoothly.

Participants 1 and 10 advise that “ Time Management “ are important. While

Participants 2 , 6 and 9 advise that “do your chores and activity first before playing
 OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY

online games”, “i would suggest that try to prioritize their activities first”,“ do your activity

first before you play”. Participant 5 says that “ Practice self-management and self-control

and not only the time” . And the rest of participants advise that keep on going on what

you love but do not forget your studies and know your limitations.
