Abstract:

Online gaming can negatively impact students’ academic performance. Playing mobile games should be a fun activity for all to enjoy. But like everything else, the amount of time one spends playing needs to be balanced with academic responsibility. Furthermore, this study sought answers on number of hours spent in mobile games, commonly played online mobile games, the attitude of respondents on playing mobile games, and the reasons for playing mobile games, and find out the impact of mobile games to the academic performance among hospitality management students. The researchers collected, analyzed, and interpreted the data using a descriptive design approach and a quantitative form of survey questionnaire distributed to Taguig City University’s Hospitality Management students. The technique used is purposive sampling in which only students who play online games are chosen to satisfy the study’s population size which is composed of 50 HM 3rd-year students and 50 HM 4th-year students. The findings in this study were based on the computed t- test results of 1.069 which is much lower than the tabular t- value of 3.182 at 0.05 level of significance, shows that there is no significant relationship between the attitudes to the academic performance of the students. Thus, the hypothesis of no significant relationship was accepted. It is concluded that the results based on each student’s academic performance throughout the previous three school years are excellent and that there is no significant relationship between the attitudes of students and their academic performance in school.
