gaming and grades

  Through my research, I want to find what impact do playing video games have on students’ exam grades.

  I’ll have to find students’ time of playing games and their grades for my research.

  To make it easy for a beginner researcher like me, I want to use a descriptive research design using surveys.

  In my research, the dependant variable is the exam grades that students get; the independent variable is the number of hours of computer gaming.

My hypothesis is that playing moderate amount of game could actually improve a student’s exam grades, and will have a negative impact when the student plays excessively.

  By doing this research, I hope to help the students manage the right amount of time they spend playing games.

  I might find difficult even just to get enough students to complete my survey. I might have to compare different classes, different students, different gender, different games etc to get a reasonable comprehensive conclusion.

  In designing this research, I did not find any difficulty, although my research can be faced with challenges in the process.
