The development of the local wisdom-based Biotechnology module is one of the important factors that needed to support the ability of Biology Students and their knowledge about their mascot flora. This research was aims to find out about the preliminary studies of the research about the development of a local wisdom-based Biotechnology module for Biology Students on the topic of molecular analysis and the application of them for some aspects of studies. The type of the research about the development of module is Research and Development (R & D) model which has been carried out from the problem studies to the initial investigation data stages. The results showed that based on the results of the curriculum analysis and Semester Learning Plan (RPS of Biotechnology) that had been implemented, the topics in biotechnology learning consisted of ten topics in learning. The results of interviews conducted with lecturers in the Biotechnology subject also revealed that there were several obstacles in the implementation of the Biotechnology course at the Riau Islamic University Biology Education Study Program, one of which was the lack of student references to study biotechnology. Based on the student problem questionnaire, it is known that students do not have a local wisdom-based biotechnology module yet (about 100%). The results of the student need analysis questionnaire showed that the students strongly agreed with the development of the Biotechnology module based on local wisdom (with a percentage of 100%). In conclusion, it is necessary to develop a module for Biotechnology subjects based on local wisdom for biology students to help students understand the learning material in the learning process.
