Abstract
High-quality research outcomes depend on the use of credible research instruments. However, this study reveals a disparity between the demand for quality educational products and the accuracy of the instruments used in their development. The research aims to identify prevalent errors in the construction of validation, practicality, and effectiveness instruments in undergraduate and master's theses focus on the development of educational products. This study uses a descriptive and qualitative method to analyze documents to identify and map the common mistakes found in these works. The study reveals four primary categories of errors: (1) inappropriate language in statement or questions items; (2) misalignment between items and the instrument type; (3) insufficient verification of the number of questions or statements; and (4) the improper choice of measurement scales and evaluations. These findings emphasize the necessity of providing specific assistance to students in order to assist them in creating reliable research instruments, which will eventually enhance the quality of educational research outcomes.
