PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 1 Computing Research project 2021 PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 4 Computing Research project 2021 Chapter 1 1.1 Abstract This study was conducted to assess and find out the impact of on-line gaming on the academic performance of the students of United Academy High School at Tikapur Kailali Nepal. Furthermore, this study sought answers on the significant relationship between playing on-line games and academic performance of the students. The study revealed that boys are more of a player compared to girls who often play games that require three or more players like League of Legends, Clash of Clans, Crossfire, PUBG mobile, Free fire and many more to mention. It is also stated that those who play online games are around 14-16 years old who are believed to be in the Grade 8 to 10 level. These students who often play games have an average weekly allowance. Playing online games affect their grades for they know how to limit themselves. They know that they need to control themselves in order to function well in their class that is why they only play games during vacation and weekends with a lot of time compared when they have classes. There are many benefits of the Internet as it not only acts as an entertainment tool, but also an important professional resource for work, communication as well as education. However, despite all of its inherent advantages, the Internet also has its drawbacks. The gaming industry boomed up in 21st century with the online gaming, mobile, console and multiplayer gaming. But the type of harm it is doing to the social world is beyond the imagination, the students are playing online games around the world without thinking about negative affections especially on their Grade Point Average (GPA). 1.2 Introduction Internet as a source of information plays an important role in developing one's mind and life experiences by creating productive works in schools, offices, and even at home. Nowadays, this can be a person's most efficient strategic tool for enabling himself to take charge and cope with the fast growing technology. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 5 Computing Research project 2021 The fact that people live in on informative lifestyle where everything is updated, internet became one of the necessities of human beings regardless of age or sex in today's society. However, the influence of this useful machine on youth is undeniably questionable. As to what Rock said, all these technologies are very good at distracting people. In line with this development, online gaming was created to give entertainment to people. The majority of people believe that online computer games have more negative effects on the players and there are researches that support this belief. Significant negative association between time spent in gaming and academic performance have been confirmed in some studies In a study by Rideout, Foehr & Roberts (2010), 47% of a sample of American children and adolescents were found to get poor grades due to heavy gaming time. Comparatively, they noted that only 23% of their respondents who were not heavy game users got low grades. A similar study involving elementary school children showed that frequent gaming time significantly predicts low academic performance at the end of the academic period even when intervening variables were controlled to a certain degree. The child’s potentials are not maximized in school when a portion of his time is heavily spent on gaming, especially online games wherein the challenge is not just to defeat the computer but to defeat real human beings who have mastered the games. This is the hypothesis of displacement. Online gaming can negatively influence school performance by displacing time that would have been spent in other educational activities such as reading and homework. Empirical support for this hypothesis has been written about. American teens who play video games have been found to spend 30% less time reading and 34% less time doing homework than non-gamers. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 6 Computing Research project 2021 performance,  T0 developers, to develop the game in significance with the proper environment and the correct combination of time frame and role of game in student and society. 1.7 Scope of the Research This research will be conducted to determine the impact of online gaming console on academic performance of school students. This research is mainly focused on school students, age group of 14-16, young generation people who are mainly focused on games rather than social interaction. The research will be conducted on specific place, time, age group, with the help of interviews, group discussion, observation and study of past report and news. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 9 Computing Research project 2021 Chapter 2 2.1 Review of Literature Playing online games is often associated in our society with poor academic performance. Jackson, von Eye, Witt, Zhao and Fitzgerald (2011) argue that whether or not video games influence a student's academic performance is based on a student's gender, race, ethnicity, parent's income, as well as initial academic performance and amount of time spent playing video games. In a study of 482 students between the ages of 12 and 14, Jackson et al (2008) found that students who played video games had stronger visual spatial skills than other students. However students that spent more time on video games in comparison to time spent on the internet or reading had lower grades GPA than other students. This study indicates that while students may show improved grades in academic tasks that require strong visual spatial skills, overall their grades suffer. Anand, Vivek (2007) hypothesizes that video games have a negative impact on academic performance. In a content analysis of grades and Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) scores and surveys from 276 college students, Anand found that college students who played games for more than a few hours per day had overall lower grades and SAT scores than students who reported that they spent a limited amount of time playing video games. Males were more likely to experience a drop in grades due to frequent use of video games whereas, females showed no noticeable effects. Skoric, Lay-Ching-Teo and Lijie (2009) argue that students with addictive personalities who play online games are more likely to have lower grades than students with non-addictive personalities who play video games. They found that while amount of time spent playing video games or engagement in online game play had no effect on typically developing children, children with addictive personality traits were more likely to have problems with their grades if they played video games because they were more likely to neglect their studies in favor of game play. Finally, Gentle, Lynch, Linder-Ruh and Walsh (2004) hypothesize that adolescents who were frequent online video game players (more than 20 hours per week) would demonstrate more problems with aggression and hostility and lower grades than student's that were infrequent gamers. Gentle et al. also argued that the effects of frequent video gaming would be more prominent if the video games were violent in nature. In a study of 607 middle and high school student's they found violent video games were more highly connected with aggressive behaviors such as, bullying, and lower grades than infrequent gamers. They found a strong correlation PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 10 Computing Research project 2021 between gender and increased hostility and PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 11 Computing Research project 2021 performance, how the gaming is effecting their GPA. Also in, different set of questionaries’ are given to gamers and asked them to give review on that questions. All the interviews, questionaries’ are conducted on their basis, on their consent to deliver their idea, views, and their expectations. All the data collected will be stored on database, and no other can use that data further more. The primary data collection will be based on interviews, questionnaires method. 3.3 Secondary Data collection The secondary data are the data which are collected from any other source which has already been collected. The study will be easier through the means of proper secondary data. For the study, the secondary data will also be used checking the reliability, suitability and accuracy of the data. The use of secondary data collection will make my research on primary data more supportive. The various methods of secondary data collection were journals, newspapers, statistical reports and internet. The basic understanding from secondary data helps to prepare the questionnaires which helped me in gathering the data related to the study. 3.4 Data assortment and assessment For this research I have choose the students of United Academy School of class 8 to 10. And according the responses given by the students data are analyzed which are given below: Figure: collected data PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 14 Computing Research project 2021 1. Do you prefer to play online games? According to the responses provided by the students of United Academy school of grade 8 to 10 students most of the students prefer to play online games. 2. Which device you prefer to play online games? Most of the students prefer mobile to play online games. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 15 Computing Research project 2021 3. How many hours you spend on a game for one day? Most of the students spend 3 hours a day to play online games. 4. What type of online games you usually prefer to play? According to the responses given by the students most of the students play PUBG and freefire. 5. In game’s defeat or success, influential to your mood and daily life? PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 16 Computing Research project 2021 Students can quit playing online games. 3.5 Path Analysis With the intense research, the outputs show multiple things along the path of distraction and inclusion and prove that online gaming have negative impact on the academic performance of the students. Spending lots of time playing online game distracted students from their academic courses. Not only getting students bad results but also students are suffering from mental as well as physical health due to playing online games continuously. 3.6 Hypothesis prove The main objective of the research is to find out the impact of online gaming on the academic performance of the students. And it is near about to hypothesis that most of the students are facing problems on their academic result by playing online games. Most of the respondents frequently play online games. 3.7 Conclusion Based on the mentioned findings, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. The level of Playing Online Games is very high among the students of the of United Academy PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 19 Computing Research project 2021 School Of grade 8 to 10 students. 2. There is significant relationship between Playing Online Games and Student Performance among grade 8 to 10 students of United Academy School. 3.

PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 25 Computing Research project 2021 PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 26 Computing Research project 2021 CHAPTER 5 5.1 Introduction: This report is generated to reflect all the experience and evaluate the research which was done previously. As the project initiated with proposal writing and slowly, to the research and in the end, the report was prepared, to review the learning curve and various experience gained in this timeline is reported. The research is based on Qualitative methodology from the Internet and online survey with the help of google forms. 5.2 Discussion This reflection journal explains the summary of my experiences from learning about impact of online gaming on the academic performance of the student. After the completion of the research project classes, I choose to do research on the topic about online gaming impact on students. When I started my project, I reviewed several other projects. I had done a lot of research, I went across many of the websites, read various articles, so I was able to narrow down my theme of research “Digital Well-being” into a specific small area. The report is solely made by me and I am only responsible for all the findings done in this project. I created this report to study about the impact of online gaming on students. 5.3 Feelings At the point when I was doing my research I wasn't feeling that much sure about execution of the project but however I made structure planning for the project. The pandemic effect my research too. The limits due to pandemic as limited resources, limited time and limited relevance, it was hard but the completion of project with these limitations makes me a lot happy. And, the research I did wasn’t adequate which needed a lot of improvement and this give the milestone to follow further in upcoming modules and projects which makes me feel more positive towards the project. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 29 Computing Research project 2021 5.4 Analysis: This project became the whole new experience for me. We learn consistent improvement lesson, when purposed proposal cannot be worked than we have to change the ways and achieve the objective and scope along with the goals. The methodology needs to change and patience and learning ability is the core feature to achieve a well-developed report. To conclude, maximum number of students playing online games that is why maximum number of students are getting poor and negative grade in their academic result. They spend more time on playing online games rather than their education. Improper way of playing online games destroying students’ academic performance. 5.5 Conclusion In the end, the research helps a lot for students, parents and teachers in order to make students’ academic performance better. Teachers and parents will focus on students to make their academic performance better. 5.6 Action Plan The experience that I developed from this research project will be quite valuable in the future as well. This familiarity helped me that I must work upon my interpersonal skills and conduct more primary research for the upcoming projects. Due to pandemic, primary research became difficult to conduct. So, I hope that in near future I will be doing many more research project and go across as much primary research as possible. Thus, in future, I hope to increase my exposure to the outer world in terms of primary research and get information which I require for my project. I hope to develop better interpersonal skills to successfully conduct interviews, questionnaires survey and other samplings. PURAN BOHARA (BTECH HND/4TH SEMESTER) 30 References Anon., n.d.
