CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The rise in the use of the internet has led to many changes

in our daily life. In particular, this rise has also led to the

rise of online gaming. Online gaming can refer to any type of

game that someone can play through the internet or over a

computer network. Most of the time, online gaming refers to the

video games played over the internet, where multiple players are

in different locations around the world. In most cases, online

games are freeware programs that can be used for an unlimited

time and are available for free. Most percentage of web games

available nowadays is written in Flash, Shockwave and Java

languages. Because of that, they feature more primitive game play

than downloadable games.

Having an online gaming experience typically requires a

high-speed internet connection. Proper hardware will also be

required whether it’s a computer or a gaming console, such as

Xbox or Play station that’s connected to the internet. Some

1

online games require a specific piece of controlling hardware

such as a joystick or a game controller, but these days, gaming

technology has progressed to an amazing extent. Things like

streaming 3-D animation graphics with superb surround sound

stereo now have the ability to make all addicted to gaming. In

terms of video games, online gaming is growing in popularity for

variety of reasons. Gamers can easily find opponents of a similar

skill level when playing a head-to-head game over the internet.

Players also can compete in massively multiplayer games, where

dozens of players play an ongoing game in a virtual world. Some

online games change a monthly fee for access to the video game

software.

Today, one can see the impact of computer and video games in

politics, television, popular music and Hollywood. A lot of

research is conducted to study its effect on lifestyle and

behavior of the wow power leveling gamer especially kids. Online

game is the most sought leisure activity followed by kids

nowadays. Computers play a major role in shaping the future of

the kids. Days are gone when children loved to indulge in outdoor

activities, rather than running or playing outside, children2

spend most of their time playing online games. Online games

surely have an impact on minds of kids. Taking into

consideration, it is positively a great mind exercise and helps

kids explore many new things. It includes improvement in

recursive and proactive thinking, increased sociability and

improved interpretive skills. Some research shows that the

children who play online games are more active and have sharper

minds than their other counterparts. However, computers and video

games also receive much more negative critics, because games are

often coined with issue such as mindless entertainment, enhanced

social recluse, sexism and consumerism. Research shows that kids

who play violent video games showed on increased in emotional

arousal and a corresponding decrease of activity in brain areas

involving self-control, inhabitation and attention.

Everyone who plays video games has a different reason for

playing, and the usage of the game leads to different effects for

each individual. Childhood upbringings, peer influences,

pressures at school and family issues are all factors that have a

strong connection with the effects of gaming on individuals.

Video games maybe therapeutic for some people, but the small3

amount of people who are negatively affected by gaming impact are

many.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to know the impacts of online gaming among

the 7-12 years old children of Transville Homes Subdivision,

Banay-Banay, Lipa City, Batangas.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

This study was mainly concerned and limited only with the

impacts of online gaming among the children ages 7-12 of

Transville Homes Subdivision, Banay-banay, Lipa City.

Theoretical Framework of the Study

According to Molcho (1988), gaming has provided evidence

that instructional games can promote retention and the ability

to transfer knowledge to new domains. Instructional games are

attractive to learners because they offer a simple and creative

means of providing high-level motivation, clear and consistent

goals, and sustained interactivity.

6

Gaming as an instructional variable may be analyzed as

methods of rehearsal by facilitating the organization and

retention of content (Dwyer & Dwyer, 1985).

The theory of intrinsic

motivation is by far the dominant source of support for

instructional gaming. Research has provided evidence that

instructional gaming has the intrinsic ability to develop the

learners' confidence in determining their own destiny. This

theory suggests that intrinsic motivation in an instructional

gaming context is comprised of an optimal relationship between

fantasy, challenge, curiosity, and control. (Malone, 1981)

Conceptual Framework of the Study

Research indicates that there are many impacts of online

gaming among the children ages 7-12 of Transville Homes

Subdivision, Banay-banay, Lipa City. Studies have been conducted

assessing the impacts of online gaming. As an input, the

researchers will gather all the information about the impacts of

online gaming among the children ages 7-12. To carry out the

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

10

This chapter presents the literature and studies relevant to

presentation investigation.

Related Literature

Carey (2012) found out that the history of online gaming

included contributions by many different companies and entities.

Online gaming began as multiplayer gaming, but has evolved to

include online gaming servers and massively-multiplayer online

game settings.

Stated by Hassan (2011), online gaming is good and bad. Good

for those who know their limits and bad for those who fix

themselves in the seats for long hours and cut off the

interaction with rest of the world.

According to the study of Chang (2009), online gaming was

referred to as Internet Gaming or Electronic Gaming. It was a

gathering of players with a common game using a local area

network (LAN) where they could be on the same settings. The

players seem to be in a real situation that they use their mouse

or keypads to move in the monitor, their virtual world.

11

Hall (2005) said that online gaming has become increasing

popular over the past few years.

Both Orzack (2004) and French (2002) found out that in

internet search for “gaming addiction” yields lists of physical

and psychological symptoms from dry-eyes and carpal tunnel

syndrome to “problems with school or work,” offered as indicative

of problem usage behavior.

Griffiths, et al. (2003) stated that online gaming has been

separated by some researchers into three main types: stand-alone

games, local and wide network (LAWN) games and massively

multiplayer online role-playing (MMORP) games.

French & Dwyer (2002) claimed that online game players

“don’t have normal social relationships anymore” and play online

games in order to cover feelings of anger, depression and low

self-esteem.

Nie & Erbring (2000) and Kraut, et al. (1998) stated that

some fear that virtual communities was detracted from social

activity and involvement in the real world, replaced real social

12

relationships with less robust online substituted and caused

users to turn away from more traditional media.

Turkle (1995) found out that online games enabled self-

exploration and discovery that users extended and idealized

their existing personalities or try out new ways of relating to

one another that can positively affect real life relationships.

Rheingold (1993) stated that the one reason for the

popularity of online games was that they meld the fun and

challenge of video games with the rewarding social aspects of

online community. Participation in online communities allows us

to stay in touch with old friends, meet new people, learn, and

share information.

Related Studies

In the study conducted by Wood, Gupta, Devevensky &

Griffiths (2004), online gaming can be addictive. The research

has tended to concentrate on negative aspects, such as excessive

13

play and addiction. Instead of spending their hours on studying

and doing their homework, children spend their time on playing

computer games.

Gentile, et al. (2004) said that the majority of these

studies have shown that online games can be addictive and that

some online games have been associated with aggressive behaviour.

However these studies have been relatively controversial as they

examine these factors using self-report methods and artificial

scenarios. This type of research is fraught with problems and

criticism.

The study of Carrasco (2001) stated that computers have

become a part of man’s life. Almost all the things around us were

made by computers with the aid of modern machines. Associated

with the computers is the internet where we can find online

games. Online game has a big impact to children especially to

teenagers. They tend to be hook by the computer.

On the other hand, online gamers can also benefit on playing

online games. A great variety of forms have been developed and

put into practice to enhance learning, offer solace, to drive

away boredom, and/or to persuade players to adopt certain actions14

and opinions. The game play improve various thinking skills but

that it can also boost cognitive speed for those who play action

games and can also improve cognitive accuracy for players who

solve puzzle and strategy games (Klabber, 2001).

Some video games have been associated with aggressive

behaviour. In that case, children imitate online characters. Some

children are at the period of modelling (Anderson & Bushman,

2001).

Taha, J. (n.d.) said that online games are seen as good

learning tool because many think that they can teach children in

ways that their teachers are failing by sparking their minds,

stimulating their thinking, and inspiring their imagination.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter introduces the details of research design,

respondents of the study, sampling, data gathering procedures,

data gathering instruments, and statistical treatment of data.

Research Design

The researchers used the descriptive research to conduct

this study entitled “The Impacts of Online Gaming among the

Children of Transville Homes Subdivision Banay-Banay, Lipa City

Year 2012.”

16

Respondents of Study

The respondents were chosen through quota sampling. The

researchers made use of 40 children of Transville Homes

Subdivision Banay-Banay, Lipa City. The respondents’ ages range

from 7-9 years old and 10-12 years.

After choosing the respondents, each of them were given a

survey questionnaire to answer.

Sampling

The researchers made use of 40 children ages 7-12 in

Transville Homes Subd. Banay-Banay, Lipa City

All children who play online games answered the test

questionnaire given by the researchers.

Data Gathering Procedure17

At first, the researchers looked for necessary resources

that could help them in their study. They did an intensive

reading from the internet and asked opinions from the online game

players. From these, they were able to construct ideas and

questions necessary for the questionnaire.

A letter of transmittal was then prepared and was submitted

to their adviser, to their directress and to the chairman of the

subdivision for the approval in producing and distributing the

questionnaire.

The researchers asked the permission from their adviser to

allow them to proceed with the distribution of the questionnaire

to the children ages 7-12 of Transville Homes Subd. Banay-Banay,

Lipa City.

With the permission granted, the chairman of the subdivision

assisted the researchers in distributing the questionnaire. The

researchers clearly explained all the directions and items to the

children ages 7-12 – respondents to ensure understanding and

correctness of their responses.

18

Retrieval of the questionnaires was done after two days. The

responses were tallied, analyzed and interpreted in accordance to

the items found in instruments.

Data Gathering Instrument

Questionnaire was used as the main instrument of the study

to determine the impacts of online gaming among the children ages

7-12. The designed questions focused on the advantages and

disadvantages of online gaming.

The questionnaire was prepared by the researchers themselves

after doing a research and intensive reading from the internet

and asking opinions from the online game players.

The researchers constructed a letter to the chairman of the

subdivision that allowed the researchers to conduct the survey

among the children ages 7-12.

The researchers’ questionnaire was prepared and showed to

the adviser for the comments and suggestions. After that,

revision of the questionnaire was done. The researchers

incorporated the comments and suggestions of the adviser and

prepared the second draft of the questionnaire. The questionnaire

has four parts. Part I contained the profile of the respondents

19

in terms of age, gender and educational status. Part II focused

on what are the online games mostly played by the children, how

long the respondents spend their time playing online games and

how much money they spend playing online games. Part III focused

on the advantages of online gaming and Part IV on the

disadvantages of online gaming.

The researchers initially distributed the survey

questionnaire among the children ages 7-12 in Transville Homes

Subd. Banay-Banay, Lipa City. After the questionnaire was sent

back to the researchers, the responses were analyzed and

interpreted. It was done through the use of percentage and

ranking.

Statistical Treatment of Data

Percentage and ranking were used by the researchers to

convert the numerical data gathered from the questionnaire. Only

tallying, getting of percentage, and getting of ranking were the

methods needed to come up with a conclusion on this study.

Descriptive statistics which include basic summary of the data

gathered was used to explain further the result of the study. The

20

descriptive statistics used frequency, percentage, and ranking.

These things would be explained further in the following.

a. Frequency - pertains to the number of respondents that have

the same answer in a specific question.

b. Percentage - used to determine the ratio of respondents that

have same answers with general number of respondents.

Formula:

% = f x 100 N

c. Ranking – used to determine the order of the results

according to their percentage.
