“…Since IGD is proven to be endogenous in the OLS model, we conclude based on the 2SLS model that IGD has no considerable effect on GPA, therefore giving evidence that despite the students' gaming intensity, they are still responsible for their academic performance. This is consistent with Fabito et al (2018), who found no evidence of game addiction as a causal factor for academic performance. Instead, gender is proven to be the most significant predictor of GPA based on these Indonesian university students' data.…”

In 2018, the WHO has categorized gaming disorder as an official disease. One of the ways to estimate a person's gaming disorder level or status is to use the IGD-20 Test. The purpose of our research is to determine whether or not internet gaming disorder (IGD) has a significant negative impact on academic performance using binary dependent and two-staged least squares models. We obtained data from 390 Indonesian university students, consisting of their academic performance, IGD level, gaming behavior, and several of their economic and demographic characteristics. We found that 5.13 percent of the respondents have IGD. Using both probit and logit models, we also found that GPA has no significant impact on a person's probability to have IGD. Finally, using a 2SLS model, we discovered that IGD has no considerable effect on GPA. Instead, income and gender are proven to be significant predictors of GPA.

“…This is the first study that revealed that mobile game addiction does not have an inverse impact on academic performances among university students in Bangladesh. Our results are strongly supported by the findings of Fabito et al (2018) who studied in earlier research that mobile game addiction among tertiary students does not have any relationship with their academic performance (Fabito et al, 2018). In another study, Samaha and Hawi (2016) also found that there is no relationship between mobile game addiction and academic performance which also generalizes our findings (Samaha and Hawi, 2016).…”

Background Nowadays, the youth are more engaging with their more advanced smartphones having high-quality graphics and gaming features. However, existing literature depicts that adolescents suffer from several forms of psychological problems including mental health, depression, loneliness, insomnia and low self-control due to mobile game addiction. Therefore, this study aims to find the prevalence and motivating factors for mobile game addiction among university students of Bangladesh. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out to collect the required information from 1125 students of three universities in Bangladesh. Descriptive statistics, χ2 test and ordinal regression model are employed to meet the objective of this study. Results The findings reveal that male students are more likely to show addictive behaviours than their counterparts in the context of mobile game addiction. The results depict that loneliness, duration of using smartphones and playing mobile games, and source of entertainment are the main cause of mobile addiction. Also, more than half of the respondents (54.3%) are severely addicted to mobile games who were influenced by friends and YouTube gamers to play games. Moreover, students are suffering from several physical problems such as headaches, eye discomfort, blurry vision and ear discomfort. Conclusion Considering the findings of this paper, the authors suggest that the authorities should consider this immediately and arrange a positive entertainment environment to prevent students from mobile games. Furthermore, it is necessary to encourage students to participate in sports or other extracurricular activities that may be helpful to lessen mobile game addiction among students in Bangladesh.

“…In contrast with previous results, a significant correlation between the time dedicated to video games and academic performance was not detected. However, the findings of [13] concluded that addiction to video games or online games impacted negatively on the attention deficit of young people and on their academic performance [14]. Nevertheless, other studies have highlighted that students with good academic results and students with poor marks both tended to remain in this profile [46,47].…”

“…Related to the aforementioned factors, video games or online game addiction is related to an increase in attention deficit in young people [13]. This addiction has a direct negative impact on students' physical and psychological health, and indirectly on their academic performance [14]. Similarly, it is observed that the profile of the addict in secondary students is that of an obese male online player or multiplayer [15].…”

Although the value of information and communication technology (ICT) is positive and its use is widespread, its potential as a teaching tool in mathematics is not optimized and its methodological integration is rare. In addition, the availability of ICT resources in schools is positively associated with the academic success of students, and the availability of ICT resources at home is negatively associated with their success. To determine the relationships among academic performance, uses, and available ICT resources, a total of 2018 secondary school students participated in the present study. The uses and available ICT resources, and the learning of mathematics and ICT, were evaluated using a validated 11-item questionnaire. Statistical analysis reveals that, of the secondary education levels, the lowest results are observed in the third year. A total of 64% of students affirm that they use ICT at home to study mathematics. In addition, 33.61% of the students affirm that they use their mobile phones frequently while studying at home. However, it should be noted that between 23.80% and 28.44% affirm that they dedicate more than 4 h per day to phone calls. Educational level is a predictor of academic performance in mathematics associated with students’ uses of ICT. The scores indicate that the computer is generally used for Internet searches, thus, limiting the use of ICT for educational purposes. Furthermore, there is a difference regarding gender.
