This paper aims to employ bibliometrics and visualization analysis to investigate the current development status and research hotspots in the field of piano education. The literature data is obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database, analyzing publication years, core journals, courtiers/regions distribution, keyword co-occurrence maps, and highly cited papers in this research area. The results indicate that the number of relevant publications began rapidly growing in 2015. The United States and China are identified as the core countries for publications; however, the level of international collaboration remains relatively low. Major research hotspots include the innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in piano education, online education, cross-cultural education, etc.

This study investigated psycho-social predictors of parental involvement in the academic activities of junior secondary school students in Port Harcourt Metropolis. The study was guided by four research questions and their corresponding null hypotheses. The design for the study was correlational research design. The population of the study consisted of 16,835 parents of 24,343 JSS3 students (Source: School Board, 2024) from 278 public secondary school students in Port Harcourt Metropolis (Post Primary Education Board, 2024). A sample of 689 parents who are alive and can read and write, as reported by their children (The JSS3 students) was used for the study. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used in drawing the sample. Four instruments were used for the study. They are, Self-efficacy Scale (SES), Locus of Control Scale (LCS) Family Conflict Scale (FCS) and Parental Involvement Scale (PIS). The validity of the instruments were done by two experts in Educational Psychology. To ensure the reliability of the instruments Cronbach alpha () technique was used. The alpha coefficients of 0.75, 0.82, 0.67 and 0.76 were obtained for family conflict, self-efficacy, locus of control and parental involvement scale respectively. Multiple regression, simple regression and ANOVA were used for data analysis. Research questions 1 and 3 were answered using simple regression, research question 2 and 4 were answered using multiple regression. Hypotheses I and 3 were tested using ANOVA associated with simple regression while hypotheses 2 and 4 were tested using ANOVA associated with multiple regression. All analyses were done at 0.05 alpha level. Results revealed among others that self-efficacy did not significantly predict parental involvement in the academic activities of junior secondary school students in Port Harcourt Metropolis while locus of control and family conflict significantly predicted parental involvement in the academic activities of junior secondary school students in Port Harcourt Metropolis. It was recommended amongst others that parents should always make effort to exhibit internal locus of control as this will help them get better involved in the academic activities of their children.

The study aims to investigate the mediating role of artificial intelligence technical skill (AI) on the relationship between effectiveness of management information system (MIS) and knowledge acquisition (KA) in Jazan University, the study used descriptive and analysis methods, A questionnaires used for data collection, (229) questionnaires were distributed, (177) valid questionnaires are returned about (%77.29) of the sample size, Several statistical methods have been used. The study found that there is positive and significant relationship between MIS effectiveness and AI technical skills, the study found that AI technical skill mediating the relationship between effectiveness of MIS and KA acquisition. These findings demonstrate the importance of AI in driving the effectiveness of KA. For future, the study recommends to apply difference dimensions of AI with difference dimensions of KA in other sectors.
