Introduction
Mobile gaming is one of the advancements that technology has created. Mobile games are those that are played
on a feature phone, a smart phone, a tablet, and portable media player. Some of the games that is played the
most today is Mobile Legends. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena
(MOBA) game developed and published by Moonton. This is a game designed especially for mobile
devices. In this game, two opposing teams must hold the fort and prevent the other team from capturing it.
Benny (2018) claims that playing mobile games can reduce productivity. While one may not play for hours on
end, they are likely playing several times per day, taking a few minutes just to check the game or do a quick
task instead of focusing on what they are doing.
Learners who are addicted to mobile games may experience bad effects like having poor grades in school and
failing to complete the required schoolwork on time with their teachers, as reported by Garcia (2019). And they
don't eat at the proper time and don't get enough sleep, that also affects their health.
According to Tambukon (2020), Playing the Mobile Legends game, one of the most popular online games for
teenagers right now, can make a person more aggressive and have an impact on how they communicate with
others. We can see that a majority of people play Mobile Legends because of the influence of other players, and
that they do this because they enjoy playing it as a hobby.
Due to this dynamic, students consistently finish their assignments late and immediately begin working
on several tasks that have been purposefully stacked up throughout the course of the day. Procrastination
is a common occurrence in both daily life and the academic setting. According to Burka and Yuen (2008)
Procrastination, also known as academic procrastination, is when students take steps to put off important
work and frequently choose to do more enjoyable things, like playing online games, rather than choose to
complete assignments. This results in external problems such as delaying assignments, being unable to
complete assignments properly, and receiving teacher warnings, as well as internal problems such as
feeling guilty or regretful.
Online gaming is very widespread in Siay Senior High school, with the majority of students there playing
Mobile Legends on a regular basis. Many students have been playing Mobile Legends since it was released, and
we have noticed that this has affected their attention toward their responsibilities at home and at school. They
focused more on playing Mobile Legends than fulfilling their obligations. Therefore, the purpose of this study
was to determine both the advantages and disadvantages of playing this game. So that we can offer suggestions
or potential remedies to stop the negative consequences of playing Mobile Legends in a relation to their
academic performance.

Methodology
This chapter presents the discussion on the research methodology of the study, the research approach and
design used, sampling technique, research instrument, and procedure of data gathering that will be used for
accurate data analysis and interpretation.
This study examines the drawbacks of the Mobile Legends (ML). It also examines how these drawbacks affect
students. Nearly all of the male pupils are addicted to the game Mobile Legends.
Research Design
It is appropriate to use a mixed approach with a phenomenological design for data collection in order to explain
the lived experience or structures of experience as they reveal themselves to consciousness from outside and
opinions were uncovered that may help probe deeper into the matter.
Purposive sampling will be used in this research study, in which participants are chosen based on pre-
determined criteria related to the research question, as it is necessary for participants to have extensive subject
knowledge and expertise to ensure the validity and reliability of the study.
Research Instrument
In order for the data acquired to be utilized to validate the research, the instrument we employed was a set of
questionnaires with a structured and unstructured design that researchers can use to collect data from
participants. The researcher's readings, earlier research, professional literature, and published and unpublished
dissertations linked to the subject were used to develop the first draft of the questionnaires. The requirements
for creating a good data gathering instrument were taken into consideration when creating the instrument. For
instance, to account for the respondents' level of knowledge readiness, statements detailing the circumstances or
issues in question were toned down.
The researchers put a lot of time, effort, and teamwork into constructing their questionnaire in order to best
serve their target respondents. Prior to gathering information from the chosen respondents using a survey
questionnaire that asks about their age, gender, and year level status, the researchers informed them of the
study's objectives. The survey was developed utilizing pertinent questions that were modified from related
research and new questions that the researcher had created. The issues that the respondents experienced would
be ascertained using the survey questionnaire that was given to them following the review, tally, interpretation,
and analysis of the taken papers from the respondents.
Data Analysis
The information gathered were tabulated and processed manually and with the aid of computer to determine the
precise interpretation of the results. Matrix tables were made to organize, summarize, and analyze the data
gathered for easy determination of its difference from each other. Data were collated, tabulated, and analyzed.
The following statistical tools were used in the analysis of data: frequency, percentage and rank.
.
Frequency-A systematic arrangement of numeric values in unsynchronized, together with a count (or
percentage) of the number of times each value was obtained.
Percentage-To describe the profile of the respondents, the percentage will be computed. The measure of
dominant quantity was utilized to determine the most probable scenario.
F = Frequency
Rank
Consists of arranging number of decreasing or increasing order of size.The highest occurrences of behavior or
the class with the greater number was given the highest rank is used by collecting and organizing data points in
a population to count the frequency of each result. The result with the highest number of occurrences is the
mode of the set.
This chapter presents the presentation, analysis and interpretation gathered by the researchers. This study aims
to determine the positive and negative effects of The Extent of Exposure in Mobile Legend Gaming. The
presentation, analysis and interpretation is based on the result of the questionnaire.
