Abstract This study aims to develop teaching materials based on the local wisdom of Indragiri Hilir District, Riau Province, namely "menongkah Kerang" carried out by the Duano tribe. The instructional material developed will contain the questions of classification ability and use a simple determination key made by the author. The research methodology uses the Quasi Experiment method. Quasi Experiment is a research method that controls one of the variables. Pretest is done before the lesson begins and the posttest is done after the teaching and learning activities. The study uses two classes, one control class only uses textbooks that are in school and one experimental class uses instructional materials that have been developed. The validation results of the four lecturers were very good and showed that the teaching material was valid and could be used. Based on the results of the pretest and posttest the students classification ability increased, as evidenced by the average posttest results of students increasing. In conclusion, this teaching material is very feasible to use in learning. It is better if the teaching materials are based on local wisdom in each region, there must be very good shells to preserve the local wisdom and students are also more understanding because they raise examples from their lives.
