    (Stecab Publishing, 2025) Momoh, A. M.; Olajide, F. O.; Ogundipe, R. O.; Adesina, A. D.
    Digital revolution and the resultant emergence of Industry 4.0 has driven the incorporation of Artificial intelligence (AI) in Industrial education to enhance skills development in the industry. However, there is a lack of adequate empirical evidence on the integration of Artificial intelligence in industrial education. To fill this gap, this study reviewed previous studies on the adoption of AI in Industrial education and examined the frequency of occurrence of variables obtained in the studies reviewed. Relevant literature was screened and reviewed to find empirical evidence to support findings. A systematic review of 14 studies provided insights into the current applications, benefit and challenges of AI integration in industrial education. The study found that the most cited applications of AI is Adaptive and personalized learning systems, which customise workers/learners’ information based on their interaction with learning content. Other applications are augmented simulators for real-time feedback, virtual mentors, and intelligent tutoring systems which replicate real-life interaction with professionals among others. Majority of the studies found increased engagement and improved learning outcomes and skills development as benefit of AI integration in Industrial education. Other benefits are promotion of early identification of learning challenges and timely intervention and feedback, improvement in administrative efficiency and support, personalisation of learning. Notable challenges were skills and capacity gaps, lack of infrastructure and AI resources, curriculum issues and difficulty in integrating AI into current curriculum, ethical and privacy concerns among others. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the skill gap should be filled with training in AI applications and use, investment in AI infrastructural development should be explored, industry collaboration and partnership in the area of needs should be considered, AI marketing and literacy should be adopted in industries, all AI intervention should be a continuing and lifelong process to ensure sustainability.

    Workplace environmental factors and stress management among academic staff of federal universities in south- west, Nigeria
    (The Faculty of Education University of Port Harcourt, 2017-10) Momoh, A. M.; Ukpabi, D. I.
    Most academic staff have been found to be experiencing high level of stress, arising from long working hours, increased job demands. lack of control over work-pace and imbalanced work-life relationships. These in turns lead to feelings of worry, anxiety, anger, frustration, depression, high rates of hospitalisation and sudden deaths, and low performance. Previous studies have attempted to address this problem using mostly psychological and medical interventions with little emphasis on the degree of assistance available within the social and institutional networks in the university work environment. The study, therefore, examined the combined influence of workplace environmental factors (work load. role ambiguity/conflict and class size), social (career advice. connectedness and provision of feedbacks) and institutional (research assistance, promotion, collegiality. protection, friendship and opportunity) supports on the management of stress among academic staff in federal universities in the South-west. Nigeria. This study adopted the descriptive survey design. Four of the oldest federal universities in the South-west were purposively selected. Two research hypotheses were tested for the study al 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and. Multiple Regression. Effective social support System coupled with opportunities for promotion and research assistance as well as availability of flexible work load positively determined the management of stress among academic staff in federal universities in the South-west. Nigeria. There is the need to improve upon thè social supports while effective institutional supports should be provided to enhance the stress management System among thè academic staff. In addition conducive and flexible work environment should be ensured
