    Hope and Education: Role of Psychological Capital and Cultural Differences
    (Springer, 2018-05) Choubisa, Rajneesh
    Hope is a relevant variable in education and there is enough empirical evidence about its significant relationships with important education related. In this chapter, we make a brief summary of hope in an educational context by introducing the construct of psychological capital (PsyCap) that we speculate to have an impact on education and that possibly play an important role in promoting students’ personal resources. In order to contextualize, Snyder’s hope conceptualization is discussed in relation to some proposals that are reverberated and rooted in cultural differences. We also present preliminary findings from an international research on hope highlighting major cultural differences. In all, this chapter attempts to extend the effect of positive resources beyond hope.

    Interdisciplinarity: Vignettes on Contemporary Knowledge, Education & Research
    (Bloomsbury Prime, 2019-02) Nirban, Virendra Singh; Shukla, Tanu; Yadav, Anupam; Choubisa, Rajneesh
    The role of education in research is not just to provide skills that will allow doing research, but also to provide the critical appreciation of how research is to be done. The ideology of this book is constructed on the experienced phenomenon in the contemporary world. Thus, this book is an attempt for critical engagements leading to pragmatic solutions. The perspective of the book is to help readers develop a comprehensive perspective on interdisciplinarity on knowledge, education, and research and not to take an ideological stance. The papers involve cultural variations including varied methodological perspectives having intrinsic originality of multiple disciplines. We hope to present the book to assist the researchers in order to utilize new perspectives offering immense insight to pursue research in the quantitative and qualitative analogy.
