Abstract

The present study attempts to explore the relationship between psychological capital and the quality of life among secondary school tutors in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive design of ex-post-facto type. Multi-stage sampling technique was to select 420 participants from 6 local government areas in Kwara State. The variables were measured using a validated instrument with a reliability coefficient of 0.81. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression at 0.05 level of significance. The result confirmed that there was a correlation between hope and resilience and quality of life. The results indicated that hope and resilience had a relationship with quality of life. Therefore psychological capital increases the quality of life of the tutors in Kwara State. Therefore, based on the findings, it was recommended that counselling psychologists should intensify their effort to arrange conferences for educational stakeholders on the effects of positive psychological capital on quality of life. The implication of this is that psychological capital contributed to the quality of life and as such counselling psychologists should create more awareness towards enhancing the quality of life among secondary school tutors in Kwara State.

Abstract

In the current context, higher education faces the challenge of preparing future professionals to respond to society’s increasingly complex problems. However, the search for solutions means adopting new ways of working that promote multidimensionality through collaboration and an interdisciplinary outlook. Despite the advances made in interdisciplinary research, innovation development, and interdisciplinary teamwork, however, the implementation of this approach in higher education is still very slow, and further efforts are required. This article considers the opportunities for an interdisciplinary approach to student learning in university settings. In Nigeria, it is common knowledge that the educational system in it is not what it ought to be. This is evidenced by the fact that, above all, a good number of graduates from this system are unemployable, leading to so many ills in society. It is not unconnected with this fact that national policy on education was formulated to correct the anomaly. A juxtaposition of the policy with the state of higher education in Nigeria shows that the policy is far from actualizing its ends. The paper, therefore, suggested that core subjects should be integrated into the curriculum across levels that involve interdisciplinary learning in Nigerian universities.
