    This document reviews related literature on how online games can affect students' performance. Several studies are summarized: 1) One study found that increased time spent playing computer games contributes to higher probability of students failing because it poses negative effects on school performance. 2) Another study proved that higher numbers of failed subjects increases the likelihood of students dropping out of school. Computer gamers may also be more likely to drop out or repeat a year due to poorer performance. 3) However, one study showed that playing online games can have positive cognitive effects and not necessarily harm productivity, though some workplaces restrict access to gaming sites. The relevance of these studies is that they provide context and background for understanding how computer

    Review of related literature

    “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’’ –
    Nelson Mandela, but as the world evolves, and the discovery of technology brought advantages
    and disadvantages especially in the field of education, people are becoming more dependent to
    it day by day. They made it as their leisure time or past time through watching online videos,
    using social media, surfing the internet and many more.

    The following studies are relevant to the present study of “Online Gamers Vs. Non-
    Gamers: how online games affects students’ performance at ACT-IS”:

    “Computer gaming, measured by number of hours spent playing, contributes to the


    probability of a student to fail. Because computer gaming poses negative effect on student’s
    performance in school, there is a possibility that education in high school would have a
    tendency to deteriorate”. (Effects of Computer Gaming on High School Students’ Performance
    in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines”, Cortes et al, 2010).

    The study of Mañugo (2007, p. 45-46) proved that the number of subjects failed
    increases the probability of a LBNHS student to drop out. Thus, computer gamers also have the
    tendency to drop out of school; either repeat one academic year or stop schooling. Because
    computer gaming poses negative effect on student’s performance in school, there is a
    possibility that education in high school would have a tendency to deteriorate. As computer
    gaming industry continues to grow, bigger number of students will lose interest for studies. This
    might mean that investment on higher education will lead to lower rate of return among
    students. Thus resources such as money, time, school inputs, etc. are probably go to waste.

    “Playing computer games is sometimes perceived to have negative social and mental
    consequences. Because of this many workplaces are restricting worker access to Web sites that
    host computer games. However, many studies now show that playing computer games can in
    fact have positive side effects, particularly in the area of cognitive health”. (“The effect of
    playing online games on productivity levels”. Anastasia et al, 2005).
    The relevance of the said studies to the present study is that these provided an

    understanding of how to study the issue of “how computer games affects students’

    performance or productivity levels”. It supports the study of the researcher for the reason that

    it supplies information or background to the study, strengthen it, and gives validation whether

    it tells the truth or false.
