“…In addition with the tenuous mathematical competence, the shallow students' statistical competence was because of their attitude towards Statistics. Attitude has been reported to be correlated with individual performance (Rafiu, 2020) and students' learning achievement (Mao et al, 2021;Sölpük, 2017). By having positive attitude, students will maintain the competences they learnt and improve the skills they achieved.…”

<p>Statistical knowledge is a basic competency which must be possessed by Biology Education students before conducting research. Unfortunately, Statistics is often considered a difficult subject by biology students. The purpose of this survey research was to explore the statistical knowledge of Biology Education students. A total of 40 students in the Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang were involved in this research. The data were collected using a questionnaire containing 12 statements. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the research data. The results showed that the mean score of students' statistical knowledge was 77.92 ± 17.96; meanwhile, 52.5% of students’ knowledge was categorized as good. In addition, the accuracy of student answers on several items reached over 90%, even though there were also items in which the answers were only 50% accurate. Therefore, innovation in Statistics lecture needs to be carried out to optimize the empowerment of statistical knowledge for Biology Education students.</p>

With reference to COVID-19 pandemic, the study investigated the emergent approaches to teaching and learning cataloguing modules at the institutions of higher learning. Cataloguing modules require face to face interactions between instructors and students for the explanation of concepts. The module involves the practical use of manuals and the application of standards which are skills that students should master. The closure of higher education institutions (HEIs) due to the outbreak of COVID-19 meant that the traditional approach to teach the cataloguing modules was inhibited. Although in some countries and in distance institutions cataloguing modules were already taught online even before the pandemic, their programs were planned as online education was the nature of their business and was not mandated by the pandemic experiences. The face to face institutions had to drastically make changes in their programs in order to continue with their mandates. The chapter explores measures taken by institutions of higher learning in order to continue with teaching and learning amidst COVID-19 pandemic.
