Some Resolutions for Gaming Addiction in Schools
Villanueva, Fritzgerald
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v13 n1 p52-56 2021
Gaming addiction is a behavioural disorder that requires clinical therapy because of its symptoms, which often overwhelm children's sense of self-control. However, the credibility of the screening test for gaming addiction is contentious in the literature, resulting in some ambiguous distinctions between excessive video gaming and the disorder. Furthermore, the effectiveness of clinical treatments for the disorder lacks empirical evidence. Online game rooms, video game clubs, and gaming tournaments offer some opportunities for educators to resolve these problems. Consequently, exploring these problems and resolutions related to gaming addiction is worthwhile.
