Abstract: There are many factors that correlated with students' academic performance. Some people believe that video game is one of the factors that affect students’ academic performance negatively. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between video games and student academic performance among male and female students of IIUM. A questionnaire was used to collect data about students' gaming frequency and students' academic performance. 30 students were selected randomly from each kulliyyah as the sample of the study. The result of the research indicated that there is no relationship between video games and students’ academic performance of IIUM University. From this findings, it can be concluded that being non-gamer does not guarantee a student to have high academic performance. In contrast, being frequent gamer also does not guarantee student to perform bad in academic. There are many factors that correlated with academic performance other than video games.
Keywords: academic performance, video games, IIUM University, student perception.
