Abstract

The validity of data is a very important thing to pay attention to, because data is a very important component in research, this data will later become a source for data analysis and then be used as a basis for drawing conclusions. Authenticity of educational research has an important role in maintaining and increasing data validity. By implementing strategies such as triangulation, audit trail, critical reflection, member checking, and honesty and transparency, researchers can ensure that the data obtained truly reflects conditions in the field and is free from distortion. Good authenticity in research not only provides valid data, but also increases the credibility of research results in the eyes of the academic community and educational practitioners. Authentic educational research will contribute greatly to the development of educational policies and practices based on accurate and reliable data. Therefore, it is important for researchers to continue to maintain the principles of honesty, transparency and integrity throughout the research process
