Unarguably, education is an instrument “par excellence” for achieving Nigeria’s National Development goals. However, it is only qualitative education that can achieve this by fostering the worth and development of the individual for each individual’s sake and for the general development of the society. This study unveils the vital role of interdisciplinary research in promoting objectivity, creativity and innovations in educational research. Concepts of research, interdisciplinary research and quality assurance were discussed in perspective. Interdisciplinary research was portrayed as a major guarantor of quality assurance in any educational system. Consequently, it was recommended among other things that research experts in education should embrace interdisciplinary research so as to improve educational reforms and policies which are usually derivatives of research findings.
