Description
Summary:This study aimed to identify the attributes developed among the 70 PE 4 students playing the Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) at Christ the King College de Maranding, Inc. The study utilized a triangulation mixed-methods design and revealed that most of the PE 4 male and female students (85.71%) spent at most 3 hours per day playing MLBB. Their top 2 ranks in MLBB were either Epic or Legend and their medal system scores reached either Gold or Gold MVP. The students' levels of attributes such as interpersonal communication, cooperation, integrity, self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills were developed. There was a significant relationship between the students' attributes developed and the medal system scores in playing MLBB. Moreover, it revealed four themes that represented the experiences of the participants: (1) Creates problems and difficulties that students have to overcome; (2) Develops in the students the attributes for personal growth and interpersonal development; (3) Allows students to form meaningful relationships and interactions; and (4) Gives students a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Hence, playing esports has enhanced the PE 4 students’ meaningful learning experiences and inspired them to embrace esports as part of the curriculum.
