INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The rise in the use of the internet has led to many changes in 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 this study we will use League of Legends which is one of the most
famous online games that is usually used by senior high school students.
According to the article of Ramona Tampa (2017) League of Legends is a
mass multiplayer online video game developed by Riot Games, and has been
available for free since 2009. The game is currently recognized as the world’s
largest online multiplayer game. To add to this statement, Riot Games have
reported for Forbes, towards the end of 2016, a record statistic of 100 million
players per month, surpassing industry giants such as DoTA, or Blizzards “World
of War craft”. In order to be able to understand an in-depth analysis of League of

AMA UNIVERSITY
Legends temporary teams and the ways they strategize through communication,
it is important to get acquainted with the general rules of play, as well as
understand a number of terms directly related to “League of Legends"
But for the purpose of this study, the researchers decide to connect it to the
grades of the students.
According to the article of Ash Redbutts (2014) grading in education is the
process of applying standardized measurements of varying levels of
achievement in a course. Grades can be assigned in letters (for example, A, B,
C, D, or F), as a range (for example 1 to 6), as a percentage of a total number
correct, as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100), or as
descriptors (excellent, great, satisfactory, needs improvement). In some
countries, all grades from all current classes are averaged to create a grade point
average (GPA) for the marking period. The GPA is calculated by taking the
number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time divided by the
total number of credits taken. The educational system of the Philippines was
patterned both from the educational systems of Spain and the United States.
However, after the liberation of the Philippines in 1946, the system changed
radically. The Department of Education (or DepEd) administers the entire
educational system, especially the curriculum, along with the utilization of given
funds for school services, equipment, recruitment of teachers (for public schools
only)
AMA UNIVERSITY
In summary, the researchers aimed to reveal the relationship of playing
League of Legends and the academic grades of the selected senior high school
students.
Objectives of the Study
The study generally aimed to find significant correlation between playing
League of Legends to the academic grades of the selected senior high school
students.
Specifically, the researchers aimed to:
1. To determine the level of addiction in playing League of Legends of the
respondents
2. To determine the academic grades of the respondents
3. To determine the significant relationship between playing League of
Legends and academic grade of the respondents
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to relate playing League of Legends to the academic
grades of the selected senior high school students.
Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the level of addiction in playing League of Legends of the
respondents?
2. What is the academic grade of the respondents?

AMA UNIVERSITY
3. Is there significant relationship between playing League of Legends
and the academic grades of the respondents?
Hypothesis
Based on the formulated statement of the problem, the researchers came
up with this null hypothesis:
1. There is no significant relationship between playing League of
Legends and academic grades of the selected senior high school students
Significance of the Study
This section enumerates the importance of this study. The study will be
important to several groups and individuals.
To the Students. This study will help the students to aim for higher
grades even though they are a player of League of Legends. This will help them
to realize that being a student, the number one priority is to study hard.
To the parents. This study will help the parents to make their child
realize that having fun with friends is not bad as long as they know their limits
and responsibilities.
To the teachers. This study will help the teachers in disciplining the
students to go in school in time and by not ditching classes because of playing
League of Legends.
AMA UNIVERSITY
To the community. This study will help the community to be a better one
because the youth living in the community will know their limits in playing online
games and they are going to be more focus on their studies.
Theoretical Framework
On the academical grade, this study was framed on Howard Gardner’s
(1991) Multiple Intelligence Theory.
Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences.
According to this theory, we are all able to know the world through language,
logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of
the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other
individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. In this theory we can say that
every person has its own strengths and weaknesses. Here is the seven distinct
intelligences Howard Gardner proposed:
1. Visual-Spatial- They like to draw, do jigsaw puzzles, read maps,
daydream. They can be taught through drawings, verbal and physical
imagery
2. Bodily-kinesthetic-They like movement, making things, touching. They
communicate well through body language and be taught through
physical activity, hands-on learning, acting out, role playing. Tools
include equipment and real objects.

AMA UNIVERSITY
3. Musical-They may study better with music in the background. They can
be taught by turning lessons into lyrics, speaking rhythmically, tapping
out time.
4. Interpersonal-They have many friends, empathy for others, street
smarts. They can be taught through group activities, seminars, and
dialogues.
5. Intrapersonal-They're in tune with their inner feelings; they have
wisdom, intuition and motivation, as well as a strong will, confidence
and opinions.
6. Linguistic-They like reading, playing word games, making up poetry or
stories. They can be taught by encouraging them to say and see
words, read books together.
7. Logical - Mathematical-They like to experiment, solve puzzles, ask
cosmic questions. They can be taught through logic games,
investigations, mysteries. They need to learn and form concepts before
they can deal with details.
On the League of Legends this study was framed on the book of Markus
Friedl (2003) entitled Online Game Interactivity Theory.
Online Game Interactivity Theory is about online game design, its
concepts, techniques, and tools. It guides you through the design process for
multiplayer online games, beginning with discussions of online game history, the
differences between single-player games and online games, and how the various
AMA UNIVERSITY
categories of online games affect design. It defines interactivity on three different
levels: player-to-computer, player-to-player, and player-to-game. Details on
multiplayer game design issues are also discussed along with guidelines and
suggestions for integrating these issues into your games. These guidelines range
from community design to the unique importance of a player’s avatar. The book
concludes with discussions of valuable tools and strategies that will help improve
your workflow. Interviews with some of the most influential people in the
computer game industry are also included, to provide insight into their thoughts
on online games, the unique features of online game design, and various
interpretations of interactivity.

League of Legends. This refers to a mass multiplayer online video game
developed by Riot Games.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This section incorporates literature and studies that offer intelligible facts
indispensable to the development of this study that will intensify pertinent
concept in establishing relationship between Variable 1 and Variable 2.

AMA UNIVERSITY
On the study of Minh Vu (2015) about League of Legends, Video games
have been a part of society for so long that there is an industry producing
hundreds of game titles on various platforms and with various genres. Among all
stands League of Legends, a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game that grows so
popular that it has held four world championship tournaments attracting millions
of players around the world. This paper aims to study the reasons behind such
phenomenon, to understand what makes millions of people enjoy both playing
and watching the game by offering theoretical explanations and finding real life
events and examples that correspond with the explanations. It concludes that
there are two reasons, the appealing of escapism and the need for competition,
which the game developers of League of Legends have fulfilled excellently.
Understand these reasons, the people’s need in entertainment can be
understood better and the next popular trend can be predicted .
On the study of Filbert Goetomo (2016) about League of Legends, their
thesis utilizes event studies to measure the impact of League of Legends Esports
teams on the share prices of their main sponsors and parent company, namely,
the CJ Corporation, Korean Air, the Kt Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd
and SK Telecom. Hypothetically, the success of a team, the acquisition of a
major player or the beginning of a sponsorship would have a positive effect on
the corporation reflected in an increase in the firm’s daily share price returns.
Results showed that this was indeed true especially for a team’s success in large
AMA UNIVERSITY
competitions such as the SBENU Summer Championships 2015 and the annual
World Finals. As such, corporations can benefit from increasing their investments
into the scene as a result of the quantifiable win-win scenario apparent for both
firm and team
On the study of Brandon Agha (2015) about League of Legends, the goal
of his work is to explore the lives and labor of League of Legends professional
players. Created in 2009, League of Legends rapidly grew to be one of the most
played and watched Esport game in the world. Professional players are often
heralded as celebrities and their decisions impact the larger League of Legends
and Esports community. This work examines the realities of Esports for
professional players. It further analyzes the structure and organization of play
and work in the League of Legends Esports setting. For the developer, Riot
Games, Esports serves a variety of purposes and this thesis explores this and
the contributions of Esports professionals to the development of the game.
On the study of Artian Kica (2016) about League of Legends, wants to
undestand the impact of game balance changes on character performance is
important for game designers and players. For this study, we analyzed the effect
of patches on champion win rates, pick rates, and ban rates from League of
Legends, a popular online game created by Riot Games. This was achieved by
categorizing patches by change type. These changes were correlated to game
statistics sampled by pulling statistics from 128 champions and roughly 465,000
games from the Riot Games API. In order to be more conveniently accessible to
AMA UNIVERSITY
the developers and player base, this information is displayed publically on a WPI
hosted website on a per character basis.
On the study of Phuong Anna Vu (2009), the study examines close
teacher-student relations, classroom characteristics, and interaction effects on
student academic grades and standardizes achievement scores. Classroom
characteristics including teacher instructional practices, class mean teacher-
student relationships, and a classroom index of academic risk are evaluated for
their influence on student achievement. The participants are 24,328 students
(kindergarten through fifth grade) nested within 946 classrooms from 45 public
schools in Virginia. Multilevel analysis tests the student- and classroom-level
associations separately for each grade level. Results indicate that close teacher-
student relations and teacher self-reported use of good instructional practices
predicts positive student academic achievement. Interaction results indicate that
the association between close teacher-student relations and student
achievement is slightly stronger in classrooms with more academic risk,
according to the models examined.
On the study of Murat Balkis (2016), The aim of the study was to examine
the direct and indirect relationship between student school absenteeism,
personal factors (academic self-perception, attitudes towards teacher and school,
goal valuation and motivation/self-regulation), family factors (parents’ educational
level and income), and academic achievement in structural equation model. Four
hundred and twenty three high school students participated in the study. The
AMA UNIVERSITY
findings revealed that student absenteeism was negatively related to academic
self-perception, attitudes towards teacher and school, goal valuation, motivation/
self-regulation, and academic performance. Results also revealed that student
absenteeism differed in respect to parents’ educational level and income. Results
from SEM analyses noticed that personal and family factors significantly predict
previous and current student absenteeism. SEM analyses also revealed that
previous student absenteeism significantly predict previous academic
achievement. Finally, SEM analyses noticed that previous student absenteeism
and previous academic achievement can predict current student absenteeism.
Contribution and implications of these findings were discussed in detail.
On the study George Essel (2017), the thesis examines the impact of
stress on students’ academic performance and stress management among
students of Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences. The main objectives were to
ascertain or identify the extent to which stress affects students’ academic
success, health and general lifestyle, as well as to inquire and bring to light
measures to counteract the effects of existing stress in students. A quantitative
method was used in gathering and analysing the data. For this purpose,
questionnaires were distributed to two students groups, who consisted of Finnish
and international students. The results obtained show the different factors that
cause stress among students. The factors were grouped into four, namely
Relationship factors, Environmental factors, Academic factors, and Personal
factors. With respect to Relationship factors, working with new people was the
AMA UNIVERSITY
main cause of stress for students in both groups. In the case of Environmental
factors, worries about the future was the main factor causing stress among
students, whereas class workload was the main element of stress with regard to
the Academic factors. In the category of Personal factors, financial problems
caused most stress to students. Stress can, however, be managed through the
introduction of a stress management course and engaging in extracurricular
activities.
On the study Kaye Marie D. Arieta (2017), The study entitled, “Factors
affecting the Study Habits on the Academic Performance,” is conducted to the
Senior High School Students of Davao Doctors College during the second
semester of School Year 2016-2017. Study habits play a very important role
in the life of students. Success or failure of each student depends upon his own
study habits. Of course, study is an art and as such it requires practice. Some
students study more but they fail to achieve more. Others study less but achieve
more. Success of each student definitely depends upon ability, intelligence and
effort of students. The qualitative method is used in the study, in which objectives
are to name the factors which affect study habits of the Senior High School
students of Davao Doctors College, how study habits affect the academic
performance of the said students, and investigate the relationship between the
two variables. For this study, the researcher’s design self-administered
questionnaire for the data gathering process to achieve the main objective of the
study. The primary aim of the questionnaire is to determine the respondents’

AMA UNIVERSITY
profile according to the factors which affect the study habits, including time
management, study environment, and use of social media. Results imply that
most of the respondents believe that their study habits are affected by their time
management, study environment, and use of social media, and that these factors
impact their academic performance. Another important finding shows a high-level
of Senior High School Students’ academic performance is greatly influenced by
their use of social media, which is a said factor that affects the students’
academic performance. However, gender does not significantly impact the
factors that affect the study habits of the respondents. Generally, all of the said
factors tend to significantly affect the academic performance of the respondents.
Synthesis
The above studies and literature supported and exemplified the variables
of this study. League of Legends is a multiplayer online game that has been part
of our society. It also rapidly grew that it became one of the most played and
watched online game. It became popular that it has held some world
championship tournaments. The professional players that joined the tournaments
often become celebrities. There are some reasons why they are paying League
of Legend, first is to be entertained and second is to earn money by joining in
some tournaments.
. Academic grades are the standardized achievement of every student.
There are some factors that may affect the academic grades of the student;
relationship factor is one of it which is about the stress in working with new
AMA UNIVERSITY
people. The other factor is the personal factor which is about self-issues of the
students like financial problems. Personal factors may also lead to absenteeism.
Another factor is the use of social media because students nowadays are
addicted in it but the success of a student depends on their selves. It depends on
the effort and time they are spending on their studies.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This section introduces the whole perspective in which data were
accumulated. It includes the discussion of the research design that was used, the
place where the research was conducted, the participants of the study, the
instruments being employed, the procedures on how the data were gathered and
the statistical treatment utilized in answering the research problems and the
hypotheses.
Research Design
According to Martyn Shuttleworth (2008) Descriptive research design is a
scientific method which involves observing and describing the behavior of a

AMA UNIVERSITY
subject without influencing it in any way. The researchers used descriptive
research design in able to define the two variables.
According to Devin Kowalczyk (2003) Correlational research is a type of
non-experimental research in which the researcher measures two variables and
assesses the statistical relationship between them with little or no effort to control
extraneous variables. It is simply defined as a relationship between two
variables. The whole purpose of using correlations in research is to figure out
which variables are connected. This study attempted to explain the nature of
relationship of playing League of Legends to the academic grades of the
students.
Correlational research was also used in this study, since this study have two
variables which are League of Legends and the academic grades of the
students. The researchers used this research design to know if the variables are
connected and if they affect the other variable.
Research Locale
This study was conducted in AMA University, established on October 15,
1980 by Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V. AMA University. AMA University is the first ICT
University in the Philippines and in Asia which is located at Maximina, Villa Arca
Subdivision Project 8, Quezon City, Metro Manila.
Participants and Sampling Technique

AMA UNIVERSITY
This study involved 100 senior high school students of AMA University
and the researchers utilized convenience sampling method in gathering data.
Convenience sampling is used because of the respondents’ proximity to the
researchers.
Research Instrument
To measure the variables presented, the researchers administered the
following researchers-made instruments.
League of Legends Survey is a 10-items survey which measures the
average hours that is being spent by the students in playing League of Legends
per day. In this instrument, participants were instructed to rate each of the
statements on a 4-point scale (1=sometimes, 2= often, 3=mostly and 4=always).
For the scoring, the score for each item were added and divided to the perfect
score to find the average. It was then multiplied to one hundred to find the
percentage. The following are the interpretations of the researchers-made
instrument League of Legends Survey:
Weighted Mean Percentage Interpretation
3.51 – 4.00 87.75% – 100% High Level of addiction to LOL

2.51 – 3.50 62.75% – 87.50% Slightly high level of addiction to LOL

AMA UNIVERSITY
1.00 – 1.50 25.00% – 37.50% Low level of addiction to LOL
High level of addiction (87.75% – 100%). The respondents always feel
restlessness and/or irritability when unable to play. They were always
preoccupied with the thoughts of previous online activity or anticipation of the
next game session. They always isolate themselves from others in order to
spend more time gaming.
Slightly high level of addiction (62.75% – 87.5%). The respondents
often feel restlessness and/or irritability when unable to play. They were often
next game session. They often isolate themselves from others in order to spend
more time gaming.
Slightly low level of addiction (37.75% – 62.5%). The respondents
rarely feel restlessness and/or irritability when unable to play. They rarely
next game session. They rarely isolate themselves from others in order to spend
more time gaming which means they have time to hang-out with their friends.
Low level of addiction (25% – 37.5%). The respondents never feel
restlessness and/or irritability when unable to play. They were never preoccupied
with the thoughts of previous online activity or anticipation of the next game
session. They never isolate themselves from others in order to spend more time
gaming which means they have all the time to hang-out with their friends.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of the findings of this research, the
conclusions derived from these findings and the researchers’ recommendations
for future researches of similar concern.
Summary of Findings
This study primarily aimed to determine and/or establish correlation
between the level of addiction in playing League of Legends and the academic
grades of the selected senior high school students of AMA University.
The study utilized a Descriptive-Correlation research design in answering
its research problems. Descriptive research was used to gather information about
AMA UNIVERSITY
the two variables used. Researchers were able to find the current level of
addiction in League of Legends and the academic grade of the participants
through administration of test. On the other hand, correlational design was used
to investigate the relationship between the level of addiction in playing League of
Legends and the academic grade of the respondents.
The first finding revealed that most of the senior high school students
experienced a slightly high level of addiction in League of Legends.
The second finding revealed that most of the senior high school students
had a very satisfactory academic grades.
Lastly, the third finding revealed the level of addiction in League of
Legends experienced by the selected senior high school students was not
significantly related to their academic grades.
Conclusion
The results claim that majority of the selected senior high school students
in AMA University experienced a slightly high level of addiction to League of
Legends. The researchers infer that students often feel restless. They tend to
isolate themselves to spend more time gaming.
In addition, majority of the respondents were reported to have a very
satisfactory academic grade. This implies that most of the respondents have a
hood time management when it comes to their studies.

AMA UNIVERSITY
And in conclusion, study revealed there is no significant relationship
between the level of addiction to League of Legends experienced by the senior
high school students of AMA University and their academic grade.
Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the researchers
humbly recommend the following:
The study can be conducted not only in one school but in many
universities in a certain area to gather more data in order for the data to be
qualified for correlational study. Adding demographic profile such as age and
gender are also recommended for better analysis and findings. Using a larger
number of respondents to gather more information.
Comparing the level of addition in playing League of Legends and
academic grades in public and private secondary schools is also recommended
in order to examine if these variables are contradicting to each other so that the
findings that were associated in each variable can be cross-examined to validate
and obtain more results.
