Digital Gaming: Implication to Undergraduate Students’ Study habits, Academic Achievement and Time Management
No full textDigital technology had a huge impact on the lives of the younger generation, particularly the students. Mobile and internet involvement are used to facilitate their socialization process. Time spent on a digital device is an important component of their lives. Their attraction to the digital world prevents them from concentrating on their studies. The main aim of this study was to examine whether undergraduate students are engaged in digital gaming and its effect on their study habits and academic achievement with time management as a mediating variable. It employed a descriptive-correlational research design, utilizing questionnaires as an instrument in obtaining relevant data. The statistical treatment used were frequency, means, and Pearson r. Results showed that majority of the students spent high in digital gaming; had very good time management skills; good study habits and academic achievement. That is, frequency and length of time in digital gaming had no effect on students and academic achievement. Contributory of which is the students’ good time management, hence their academic achievement was significantly not affected. These results led the researchers to conclude the importance of time management among students. Generally, digital gaming cannot significantly affect the study habits and academic achievement of students especially those who possess good time management skills, this study can be investigated further to strengthen the findings

A Study on the Development of E-Learning System for Java Programming
No full textLearning Java programming can be tedious and difficult for beginners. In addition, traditional teaching methods can be insufficient in acquiring an understanding of the entire Java programming concepts, enhanced coding abilities, and improved problem-solving skills. Lack of resources, files being easily deleted in computers, and poor academic performance were some of the identified problems that led to students’ very low competence in Java programming. This paper aims to develop an E-Learning system that would help solve or at least minimize the problems of students in learning Java programming. The expected users of the developed system are the students learning Java programming, the Instructors who will be managing the lessons, and the designated Administrator who will be in-charge in managing the accounts of students and instructors. The proposed E-Learning system for Java programming was evaluated by both the Information Technology (IT) experts and the students as the end-users. The evaluation results in general revealed that the developed E-learning for Java Programming is acceptable among IT experts and end-users
