Abstract

This study aims to determine 1) Development of a project-based MERIE learning model
using the Cisco Packet Tracer Application for Network Infrastructure Administration
learning in class XI E of SMK Negeri 1 Siatas Barita 2) The feasibility level of the projectbased MERIE learning model (Motivation, Engagement, Reinforcement, Implementation ,
Evaluation) of students, material experts, media experts and learning practitioners Network
Infrastructure Administration SMK 3) The level of effectiveness of learning outcomes in
the Network Infrastructure Administration subject using the Cisco Packet Tracer
application. The research method used in this study adapted the ADDIE development
model, namely a development model consisting of five stages which include Analysis,
Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The results showed that the
^MERIE^ learning model and the Cisco Packet Tracer Application in the Network
Infrastructure Administration subject proved feasible to use because they had gone through
validation tests from material experts, instructional designs, media, learning practitioners,
individual trials, small group trials and tests. field, and the result is declared ^Very Good^.
The learning outcomes of students in using the Cisco Packet Tracer application in the
learning process of Network Infrastructure Administration using the ^MERIE^ Learning
Model show that there is a significant difference compared to the learning outcomes of the
Discovery Learning learning model where from the different test results obtained t count
(5.51) > t table (2.048). From the results of the effectiveness test, the ^MERIE^ learning
model and Cisco Packet Tracer applications have a higher level of effectiveness than the
Discovery Learning learning model.

Keywords: Project-based MERIE Learning Model, Cisco Packet Tracer Application, Level of feasibility of the MERIE learning model (Motivation, Engagement, Reinforcement, Implementation, Evaluation)
