    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.
