Pacatang Adviser Teacher in Charge CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the study Today’s generation is growing up too fast because of the modern technology which people are enjoying and at the same time helpful in their everyday lives. The fact that most of the children today tend to choose staying at home playing computer games or any other gadgets instead of playing outside, making friends with other children and exercise their mind and body which is very helpful to their health. One of the main reasons why students are attracted to computer or gadgets is because of online games. Modern technology is now very accessible to people especially students, they can easily go to computer shops near the school to play and most of them spend the whole time with it and forgot their responsibilities as a student which is one of the disadvantages of playing online games. There are also good things that a student can benefit in playing online games because there is also other types of video games that are educational which can help them enlighten their minds, discover new knowledge, improve their thinking skills, stuffs that they think it never existed and experience new things that they have never encountered in their entire life. Educational online games can enhance students’ motivation to learn, but only depends on how they play (mijoboo, 2013). Some students get hooked on to playing online games so much so that they tend to lose interest in other more important things like studies. Some of them who don’t have any knowledge about online games before are now addicted to it because they are easily affected by peer pressures and also because of ignorance which tends them to play games they have never experienced before. In this matter, some students who are unfortunate in terms of money spend their whole allowance to these kinds of activity which will result in not participating or not so active in school because of hungriness. Sometimes, some students chose playing mobile games rather than attending the class because they used to think that being in a class is boring that will lead them to failure of their subjects and retake it again which it takes a very long time to finish his/her chosen course(Shockley, T., & Gabbard , G. O. 2006). Nowadays, students spend their vacant time for doing their habits instead of advancing their studies. Some of these habits make them neglect their school responsibilities because of enjoyment that it caused to them. A good study habit includes being ordered, always attend the class and participate during discussions and avoid talking while the lecture is on. Playing online games is one of the common habits of students. Good study habits are the key to learning. Everyone cannot be brilliant but everyone can learn how to study. Effective study habits, even highly intelligent student failed due to inefficient work and lack of knowledge on how to study effectively. Important skills for study have to be learned and practiced. Moreover, students who put in more classrooms how and who work to a more regular program of study have a better academic performance ( Burrill, D. A. 2008). This research is composed of effective study habits that will help students in studying especially SHS students. It aims to give information or advice and even strategies that can help students and this can increase their grade. Most of the SHS student’ s today play online games regularly for entertainment and leisure or a way of hanging out with their friends and many of them missed the effective study habits. In this problem, the researcher wishes to improve and enhanced their learning and to reach their highest potential in significant improvements on test scores and the highest level of success in the classroom or on the job. The researchers are also concerned to our fellow students to help them and give them ideas in terms of time management and the effects of playing online games games to their study habits.
