This study aims to analyse misconceptions made by students regarding mathematical induction. The technic to collection data uses principles in ethnography such as observation, interview, documentation, and field note. Data were collected through student answer documentation based on 40 multiple choice questions with reasons. There are four misconceptions in solving problems related to mathematics induction subject matter. First is a misconception in interpreting the (n) on proof of P(n). Second is a misconception in generalizations (deduction). The third is a misconception in evidentiary procedures. Fourth is a misconception in manipulating or operating. The results of the findings of the misconceptions are used as material for consideration to improve items. Results construction of instruments to measure higher order thinking skills obtained 40 items that have been corrected based on criteria substance, construction, and language for further validation by experts before being tested in three schools.
