Abstract - This research examines the effect of
practicum sessions on improving learning outcomes in
Computer Networking courses for Informatics students.
The main issue explored is whether practical learning
enhances theoretical understanding and technical skills
better than traditional methods. A quantitative comparative
approach was applied, analyzing secondary data of
Midterm and Final Exam scores from two groups (one
with practicum integration and one without). The results
revealed significant performance differences, with the
practicum group achieving higher scores, improved
consistency, and lower variance compared to the
non-practicum group. These findings highlight the positive
impact of practical sessions on knowledge retention and
skill development. The research concludes that practicum
sessions play a critical role in effective learning for
Computer Networking courses, suggesting the integration
of hands-on activities in theoretical subjects. Further
research could explore broader data sources to assess
additional influencing factors.
