Abstract:

Since March 2019, UAE university has responded to challenges raised by the pandemic by transforming normal instruction platforms and assessments to online. The pandemic itself and online learning have affected students’ skill level, job outlook and perception of the future. Engineering education, in particular, involves laboratory experience, field internships, industrial visits in addition to classroom learning. This study undertakes to analyze electrical engineering students’ concerns raised by challenges due to pandemics. The study develops a hypothesis and validates it using data collected from electrical engineering students (of years 2, 3 and 4) registered in the spring term of computer courses of electrical engineering. The data thus, collected is analyzed and suggests that electrical engineering students’ happiness levels are low, the job outlook is weak, and skill development concerns are high due to virtual laboratory experience and absence of physical industrial visits/internships. Some recommendations are developed and presented.

Abstract:

Coursework that instills patterns of rigorous logical thought has long been a hallmark of the engineering curriculum. However, today’s engineering students are expected to exhibit a wider range of thinking capabilities both to satisfy ABET requirements and to prepare the students to become successful practitioners. This paper presents the initial results from a systematic effort to incorporate broader critical thinking instruction and assessment into electrical and computer engineering education as part of a university-wide quality enhancement program. All incoming freshmen are given explicit and implicit instruction in critical thinking in ENGR 100: Introduction to Engineering and other engineering fundamentals courses, using the Paul-Elder framework of critical thinking to define and operationalize critical thinking. This critical thinking foundation is reinforced later in the disciplinary courses so that students integrate critical thinking with the basic principles and practices of engineering. In the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program, at the sophomore level, students use critical thinking skills which were developed during their engineering fundamentals courses, to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply in real-world design projects. At the junior level, similar use of critical thinking is applied in an introductory computing methods course; and at the senior level, critical thinking skills are again strengthened and assessed in the capstone design course and in the professional issues and current topics seminar. The latter course emphasizes understanding of professional ethics and current topics in electrical and computer engineering. Initial data from this pilot implementation indicates statistically significant improvement in critical thinking skills in ECE students who have progressed through this sequence, and as a side benefit, it appears that writing skills also improve.

Abstract:

Computer vision has become a fast-developing technology in the field of artificial intelligence, and its application fields are also expanding, thanks to the rapid development of deep learning. It will be of great practical value if it is combined with sports. When a traditional exercise assistance system is introduced into sports training, the athlete’s training information can be obtained by monitoring the exercise process through sensors and other equipment, which can assist the athlete in retrospectively analyzing the technical actions. However, the traditional system must be equipped with multiple sensor devices, and the exercise information provided must be accurate. This paper proposes a motion assistance evaluation system based on deep learning algorithms for human posture recognition. The system is divided into three sections: a standard motion database, auxiliary instruction, and overall evaluation. The standard motion database can be customized by the system user, and the auxiliary teaching system can be integrated. The user’s actions are compared to the standard actions and intuitively displayed to the trainers as data. The system’s overall evaluation component can recognize and display video files, giving trainers an intelligent training platform. Simulator tests are also available. It also demonstrates the efficacy of the algorithm used in this paper.

Abstract:

This paper describes a novel video specific instruction set architecture for ASIP design. With single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions, two destination modes, and video specific instructions, an instruction set architecture is introduced to enhance the performance for video applications. Furthermore, we quantify the improvement on H.263 encoding. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of VS-ISA, other DSPs (digital signal processors), and conventional SIMD media extensions in the context of video coding. Our evaluation results show that VS-ISA improves the processor's performance by approximately 5x on H.263 encoding, and VS-ISA outperforms other architectures by 1.6x to 8.57x in computing IDCT.

Abstract:

Summative assessment has long been the primary assessment method used in college English classes. Overemphasizing examinations has had a significant negative impact on foreign language instruction. We design and practice generative instructional objectives, open instructional activities, dynamic course resources, interactive instruction process, and developmental instructional assessment based on a cloud platform based on the basic idea of generative instruction and using the characteristics of a cloud computing platform. Measures to improve the generativeness of online classrooms have piqued students’ interest and enthusiasm for self-directed learning, allowing them to experience the joy of learning brought on by new technological advancements. We discovered that if you want to improve students’ language acquisition ability, you cannot just rely on assessment. The diversified process assessment can not only ensure that students complete their learning tasks efficiently and quickly but also ensure that students are assessed objectively and fairly. Using cloud computing, MATLAB algorithm, and artificial neural network theory, a mathematical model of an instruction quality assessment system is established in this paper. After the network has been trained, the quality of the instruction can be assessed, providing a useful reference point for future research into instruction quality assessment systems.

Abstract:

In recent decades, there has been an increasing number of studies on control flow integrity (CFI), particularly those implementing hardware-assisted CFI solutions that utilize a special instruction set extension. More recently, ARM and Intel, which are prominent processor architectures, also announced instruction set extensions for CFI called branch target identification (BTI) and control-flow enhancement technology (CET), respectively. However, according to our preliminary analysis, they do not support various CFI solutions in an efficient and scalable manner. In this study, we propose Bratter, a new instruction set extension for forward CFI solutions on RISC-V. At the center of Bratter, there are Branch Tag Registers and dedicated instructions for these registers. We implemented well-known CFI solutions (i.e., branch regulation and function signature check) using Bratter to evaluate its performance. Our experimental results show that, by using Bratter, even when these two solutions work together, they impose only 1.20% and 5.99% overhead for code size and execution time, respectively.

Abstract:

In this digital age, the deployment of modern technology in the workplace to mitigate global challenges has become paramount. Therefore, the academic program, as accredited by the regulatory and accreditation bodies, is to ensure the production of quality industry-ready engineering graduates. These products are expected to be technology savvy and proficiently skilled in using computer software (CS) for productivity towards engineering activities. Unfortunately, there exists a gap in the quality of the graduates produced by tertiary engineering institutions in the developing world. This gap can be associated with the lack of computational thinking (CT) skills to meet the industry needs in this age of IR 4.0. Therefore, the paper reports the engineering educators’ perceived contributions and gains achieved while employing computer software in the course of instruction towards the cognitive ability enhancement of the engineering students. It provides an in-depth exploratory inquiry into the deployment of CT and its impacts in engineering education while focusing on its integration at what level in the course of study. The research follows a phenomenographic research approach explored the experiences of engineering educators from different engineering disciplines in the higher education institutions, namely chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, to gain valuable insights. Data collected through a semi-structured, in-depth interview was coded using NVivo 12 CAQDAS and analysed for relevant themes. The findings indicate a significant potential benefit of enhanced cognitive abilities leading to the development of special knowledge, generic intellectual abilities, and personal attributes. In addition, the integration of CS should be the focus of instruction at the most appropriate level of study to allow for considerable exposure to CS to achieve the desired learning outcome. These findings have direct implications on the engineering educators and students, engineering faculties, and other stakeholders.

Abstract:

Martial arts short-armed sport is an important item of martial arts. At present, the martial arts short soldier movement in the society cannot be carried out due to various reasons. As a sports academy, it is our responsibility to shoulder this important task. With the popularization of the Internet and the rapid development of multimedia and network technologies, human society has entered an information age. Traditional classroom teaching has been unable to meet the requirements of the times. Due to its characteristics of remote real-time interaction, network education has become a new generation of educational technology that combines network and multimedia technology. Network course is the most important learning content in network teaching, and its design, development, and implementation have received more and more attention. With the rapid development of computer network technology, the status of computer-aided teaching in teaching improvement has also been continuously improved. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is a hot topic in today’s classrooms. In physical education, computer-aided teaching makes up for the shortcomings of illustrations, text descriptions, teacher explanations, demonstrations, etc., in textbooks and overcomes the shortcomings of traditional teaching aids. It simplifies complex actions and concretizes non-decomposable actions. Computer-aided teaching can not only help students understand, master knowledge, and develop intelligence, but also help teachers master information and improve teaching quality. This study studies the recognition and application effect of CAI in the short-armed martial arts courses in physical education colleges. The data show that martial arts short-armed sports have outstanding advantages in combat, safety, fitness, and viewing. The experimental group scored around 90 points.

Abstract:

Hybrid online delivery, which is also referred to as mixed-mode delivery, utilizes a combination of online content and traditional face-to-face methods which may benefit significantly from specific delivery adaptations for undergraduate engi-neering curricula. Herein, a novel eight-step phased instructional flow with several targeted adaptations is used to accommodate the mixed-mode delivery of STEM curricula is evaluated with a longitudinal study of students afforded these adapta-tions versus those without them. This STEM Blended Delivery Protocol (STEM-BDP) emphasizes scaffolding of analytical procedures along with hands-on prob-lem solving throughout online and face-to-face components equally. Two high enrollment course case studies utilizing STEM-BDP are examined herein, includ-ing an Electrical and Computer Engineering required core undergraduate course and a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering undergraduate course. The details of the STEM-BDP delivery strategies, learning activities, and student perceptions surveys are presented. Student-resolution longitudinal analysis within a controlled study using blinded evaluation indicates that over a five-year period, failure rates have decreased by 63% among students undergoing STEM-BDP while control and alternatives have not demonstrated similar improvements within the same degree programs. Given increasing enrollments within STEM curricula, it is sought to overcome challenges of conventional lecture-only delivery in high-enrollment courses.

Abstract:

Very Long Instruction Word, or VLIW, architectures have received much attention in specific-purpose applications such as scientific computation, digital signal processing, and even safety-critical systems. Several compilation techniques for VLIW architectures have been proposed in order to improve the performance, but there is a lack of research to improve reliability against soft errors. Instruction duplication techniques have been proposed by exploiting unused instruction slots (i.e., NOPs) in VLIW architectures. All the instructions cannot be replicated without additional code lines. Additional code lines are required to increase the number of duplicated instructions in VLIW architectures. Our experimental results show that 52% performance overhead as compared to unprotected source code when we duplicate all the instructions. This considerable performance overhead can be inapplicable for resource-constrained embedded systems so that we can limit the number of additional NOP instructions for selective protection. However, the previous static scheme duplicates instructions just in sequential order. In this work, we propose packing-oriented duplication to maximize the number of duplicated instructions within the same peroformance overhead bounds. Our packing-oriented approach can duplicate up to 18% more instructions within the same performance overheads compared to the previous static duplication techniques.

Abstract:

Teachers are a very important part of university education. They have the responsibility of teaching and educating people, and it is also their unshakable responsibility to train all-round talents for the country. If we want to improve students’ quality, we must improve teachers’ teaching quality and pay attention to the research of teachers’ teaching ability. This paper analyzes the connotation of artificial intelligence-assisted instruction. Then, Bayesian active learning modeling is used. This paper mainly adopts the way of questionnaire and empirical research methods and launches a basic investigation on the teaching ability of university teachers. Through investigation, the following problems are summarized: (1) insufficient self-knowledge reserve and weak teaching theoretical foundation and (2) inaccurate orientation of teaching objectives and single teaching methods. Schools need to enrich training methods, establish multiple effective mechanisms for evaluation, meet the basic requirements of each teacher, and play the role of inspiring teachers. As for teachers, they need to have a good attitude, be full of interest in teaching and educating people, have a strong sense of responsibility, and constantly improve themselves and improve themselves.

Abstract:

As a typical active noise control algorithm, FxLMS is widely used in the field of audio denoising. In this paper, an audio denoising coprocessor based on RISC-V custom instruction set extension was designed, and the idea of software and hardware co-design was adopted; based on the traditional pure-hardware implementation, the accelerator optimization design was carried out, and the accelerator was connected to RISC- V core in the form of coprocessor. Meanwhile, the corresponding custom instructions were designed, the compiling environment was established, and the library function of coprocessor acceleration instructions was established by embedded inline assembly. Finally, the ANC system was built and tested based on E203-SoC, and the test data was collected by audio analyzer. The results showed that the audio denoising algorithm could be realized by combining heterogeneous SoC with hardware accelerator, and the denoising effect was about 8dB. The number of instructions consumed by testing custom instructions for specific operations was reduced by about 60%, and the operation acceleration effect was significant.

Abstract:

Teachers in traditional English classes focus more on writing and grammar instruction, while oral language instruction is neglected. In exam-oriented education, most Chinese students can master English written test skills, but only a few students can communicate effectively in English daily. People are progressively realizing that language is a tool for communication and communication in recent years, as the frequency of international exchanges has increased and that language learning should focus on oral language education. However, there are numerous issues with teaching oral English. When students perform individual oral practice after class, for example, they are unable to determine whether their pronunciation is correct. As a result, a computer-assisted study into automatic pronunciation of spoken English has become a viable solution to these issues. However, the present spoken English pronunciation mistake correction model’s accuracy and stability have not yet reached an optimal level. Based on this background, this work provides an enhanced random forest model and uses it to detect and correct automatic pronunciation errors in English classes. The improved random forest (RF) algorithm is used to classify and detect whether the learner’s pronunciation is correct. Mel cepstral coefficient (MFCC) is used for feature extraction, and principal component analysis (PCA) is used for dimensionality reduction of feature data. The experimental structure demonstrates that by using a combination classification framework based on MFCC, PCA, and RF, the learner’s pronunciation difficulty may be resolved. This allows for different error categories to receive feedback corrections.

Abstract:

Research on faculty engagement in computer science and e-learning environments is limited. Students in computer science majors and courses often cite the lack of engagement of their faculty as a reason for their decision to switch majors, drop out or perform poorly. With the shift to e-learning associated with the current global pandemic, reports of faculty engagement across countries and higher education systems converged to indicate a reduced level of interactivity. Using a cross-sectional sample of 39 lecturers and professors from a southern public university in Saudi Arabia, this manuscript documents empirically the low levels of computer science faculty engagement during the 2020 spring semester (March–May). The study found support for the hypotheses linking higher levels of empathetic instruction, an exhibition of exemplary performance traits, utilization of community building strategies and use of storytelling and students’ engagement. The study also found that many faculties need immediate and significant training on making their online instruction more interactive and exciting. Theoretically, the evidence presented confirms the importance of faculty engagement as the main predictor of desirable students’ outcomes across e-learning, as well as computer science learning environments.

Abstract:

With the emergence of the knowledge economy, computing, media, and networking technologies have developed rapidly. With the development of reforms in China’s education system, the use of computer-assisted instruction has become an essential part of modern teaching methods. Under such circumstances, computer-assisted teaching methodologies have been gradually introduced in physical education teaching. Compared with other disciplines, physical education has many limitations, such as the size of the venue, the type of equipment, environmental conditions, and climate factors, which will affect the teaching. This brings about the difference between theoretical teaching and practical impact. Due to the differences in physical education teaching, it is indispensable to improve the quality of physical education teaching through the use of rich media teaching system, and the rich network teaching system can perfectly replace the shortcomings of traditional physical education teaching. This paper investigates the design and development of a tennis network rich media teaching system based on 5G Internet of Things and resource-based algorithm by using literature method, survey method, interview method, statistical method, learning laboratory method, and other methods. Based on the tennis cyber media learning system, this study provided recommendations and guidelines for the expansion of the cyber media learning system to other sports programs and explored the future prospects of the cyber media learning system in teaching. The results show that 93.3% of all students are very interested in this learning method, 96.7% of students deepen their memory of tennis technical movements, and the satisfaction rate is 86.7%.

Abstract:

This paper proposes cooking support using ubiquitous sensors. We developed a machine learning algorithm that recognizes cooking procedures by taking into account widely varying sensor information and user behavior. To provide appropriate instructions to users, we developed a Markov-model-based behavior prediction algorithm. Using these algorithms, we developed cooking support automatically displaying cooking instruction videos based on user progress. Experiments and experimental results confirmed the feasibility of our proposed cooking support.

Abstract:

Alternative assessment has made remarkable changes in SLA instruction. Along with the assessment, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and technological developments have penetrated into instruction as well. This study was an attempt to compare the effect of wiki and e-portfolio on writing skill of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To do so, 81 out of 107 participants of 9 intact classes were homogenized by the Preliminary Test of English. They attended a 14 session term in two experimental and one control groups. Following the pretest, the writing points were taught in each group. Meanwhile, the students in both experimental groups were instructed to use technology (wiki and e-portfolio) to write their assignments on specific topics, and also they were requested to assess, to give feedback and comments on their classmates’ assignments online and working collaboratively on their feedback in the classes accompanied with the feedback provided by the teacher. Besides, the students in control group were required to do their assignments paper-based and bring them back to the class in order to correct problems. At the end, the posttest of writing was administrated. The results of statistical analysis revealed that applying CALL in both forms of wiki and e-portfolio were significantly more effective in learners’ writing than the conventional way. However, wiki could encourage higher levels of progress in writing skill in comparison with using e-portfolio.

Abstract:

The hardware security of embedded systems is raising more and more concerns in numerous safety-critical applications, such as in the automotive, aerospace, avionic, and railway systems. Embedded systems are gaining popularity in these safety-sensitive sectors with high performance, low power, and great reliability, which are ideal control platforms for executing instruction operation and data processing. However, modern embedded systems are still exposing many potential hardware vulnerabilities to malicious attacks, including software-level and hardware-level attacks; these can cause program execution failure and confidential data leakage. For this reason, this paper presents a novel embedded system by integrating a hardware-assisted security monitoring unit (SMU), for achieving a reinforced system-on-chip (SoC) on ensuring program execution and data processing security. This architecture design was implemented and evaluated on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA development board. Based on the evaluation of the SMU hardware implementation in terms of performance overhead, security capability, and resource consumption, the experimental results indicate that the SMU does not lead to a significant speed degradation to processor while executing different benchmarks, and its average performance overhead reduces to 2.18% on typical 8-KB I/D-Caches. Security capability evaluation confirms the monitoring effectiveness of SMU against both instruction and data tampering attacks. Meanwhile, the SoC satisfies a good balance between high-security and resource overhead.

Abstract:

A robot that consists of a compact disc (CD) and an embedded microcomputer has been developed as a robotics learning tool for elementary and junior high school students. The students can program the robot to draw a variety of shapes by placing a pen in the center hole of the CD. As the movement track of the robot can be recorded, the students can preserve their devised program execution results. In addition, intuitive instructions can be used to control the robot. This allows to input the program by operating several push-button switches. The program instructions can be viewed on the robot’s 8 LEDs-display interface. This robot is a unique teaching tool, which can be used to learn the mechanism of the robot composed of sensors, actuators, and a computer, without using a personal computer.

Abstract:

The traditional Chinese language and literature distance teaching system has the problem of incomplete instruction recognition function, which leads to the slow connection speed of the system. This paper designs a computer multimedia Chinese language and literature distance teaching system. For the hardware part, strain gauge and sensor are combined, connected to VCC through 10 K ohm pull-up resistance, and connected to other components. The software part obtains the expression form of Chinese language and literature; formulates the training target, according to the antimonotone characteristics of the support degree; adopts the association rule algorithm to build the remote teaching system database, combined with the client to parse the signaling message; and designs the software instruction recognition function by using the computer multimedia technology. Experimental Results. The average connection speeds of the Chinese language and literature distance teaching system in this paper and the other two kinds of Chinese language and literature distance teaching system are 8.737 s, 13.140 s, and 13.156 s, respectively, which proves that the performance of the Chinese language and literature distance teaching system combined with computer multimedia technology is more perfect.

Abstract:

To meet the changing real-time edge engineering application requirements of CNN, aiming at the lack of universality and flexibility of CNN hardware acceleration architecture based on ARM+FPGA, a general low-power all pipelined CNN hardware acceleration architecture is proposed to cope with the continuously updated CNN algorithm and accelerate in hardware platforms with different resource constraints. In the framework of the general hardware architecture, a basic instruction set belonging to the architecture is proposed, which can be used to calculate and configure different versions of CNN algorithms. Based on the instruction set, the configurable computing subsystem, memory management subsystem, on-chip cache subsystem, and instruction execution subsystem are designed and implemented. In addition, in the processing of convolution results, the on-chip storage unit is used to preprocess the convolution results, to speed up the activation and pooling calculation process in parallel. Finally, the accelerator is modeled at the RTL level and deployed on the XC7Z100 heterogeneous device. The lightweight networks YOLOv2-tiny and YOLOv3-tiny commonly used in engineering applications are verified on the accelerator. The results show that the peak performance of the accelerator reaches 198.37 GOP/s, the clock frequency reaches 210 MHz, and the power consumption is 4.52 w under 16-bit width.

Abstract:

The use of RISC-based embedded processors aimed at low cost and low power is becoming an increasingly popular ecosystem for both hardware and software development. High-performance yet low-power embedded processors may be attained via the use of hardware acceleration and Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) extension. Recent publications of AI have demonstrated the use of Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) as a dedicated low-power solution for solving nonlinear equations applied to Neural Networks (NN). This paper proposes ISA extension to support floating-point CORDIC, providing efficient hardware acceleration for mathematical functions. A new DMA-based ISA extension approach integrated with a pipeline CORDIC accelerator is proposed. The CORDIC ISA extension is directly interfaced with a standard processor data path, allowing efficient implementation of new trigonometric ALU-based custom instructions. The proposed DMA-based CORDIC accelerator can also be used to perform repeated array calculations, offering a significant speedup over software implementations. The proposed accelerator is evaluated on Intel Cyclone-IV FPGA as an extension to Nios processor. Experimental results show a significant speedup of over three orders of magnitude compared with software implementation, while applied to trigonometric arrays, and outperforms the existing commercial CORDIC hardware accelerator.

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a bus-independent hardware (HW)-based approach to secure long protocol data units (PDUs) in Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR)-based automotive electronic control units (ECUs). Our approach is based on extending previous works that implemented two AUTOSAR communication (COM) application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs). COM ASIP V1 introduced two instructions to handle the transmission and reception of PDUs no larger than 8 bytes and signals no larger than 32 bits individually through send signal and receive signal instructions. COM ASIP V2 introduced two extra instructions to handle long signals and PDUs of arbitrary lengths. We extended the instruction set architecture (ISA) of our previous ASIPs by introducing six new instructions, in COM ASIP V3, to hash PDUs that contain these signals to authenticate transmission and reception of such PDUs. The experimental results show that COM ASIP V3 can handle (i.e., transmit, receive, calculate hash, or verify hash) a 64-byte controller area network flexible data-rate (CAN FD) frame in 1.575 μs and a 254-byte FlexRay frame in 6.301 μs. These measurements indicate that the throughput of our new COM ASIP is much higher, 42× to 75×, than the throughput required by these communication buses.

Abstract:

This paper presents the necessary steps to modify the implementation of the SPARCV8 architecture to enhance it with multimedia-oriented instructions. The purpose is improving video compression performance without designing dedicated coprocessors. We investigate the complexity of modifying a standard processor instruction set and show that, although not trivial, this is feasible in a few weeks. We implemented 12 new instructions and use some of them to optimize the computation of a demanding step of the MPEG encoding. The result is a performance increase of 67% in the execution of a part of this algorithm, allowing us to expect a 30% speedup in the execution of an MPEG video compression. The area increase of the integer unit is about 18% and the clock frequency is not significantly modified in an LEON-2 implementing 6 among 12 of the new instructions.

Abstract:

In this paper, a smart greenhouse project has been presented as an example of a sustainability-focused project-based learning experience for undergraduates. While project-based instruction and learning experience has already gained enough momentum in several fields of education, the inclusion of sustainability perspectives from the science and engineering fields of studies is yet to make its room in the current course curricula as well as in the mindset of new generations of engineering undergraduates. This smart greenhouse project is an example of how sustainability can be brought into a classroom setting of engineering and technology programs as a project-based learning experience. The objective of this smart greenhouse project is to create an automated system capable of growing vegetation with little human input by utilizing electricity, computer programming, and a microcontroller operation. While this project was implemented by a group of two students with electrical engineering technology (EET) major as parts of their Introduction to Programming (ET 142) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (ET 342) courses requirements at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA, a similar sustainability-focused project-based learning approach can also be applied successfully in other courses at different levels of engineering and technology programs at other academic institutions.

Abstract:

This study employs an explanatory, convergent parallel, mixed methods design to investigate the perceived self-efficacy of 145 Saudi teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) when engaging in technology-assisted language learning (TALL). These teachers were evaluated on their technological knowledge on four subdimensions, on their pedagogical technology skills on five subcategories, and on five subdimensions related to their self-perceived ability to integrate TALL into English-language classrooms. The triangulated data were recursively collected in three consecutive phases. Self-efficacy was assessed using data obtained from a 48-item TALL survey and from classroom observations and interviews. Participants completed questionnaires on their self-perceived technological self-efficacy, 13 of whom were observed while teaching and subsequently participated in one-on-one interviews. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics of means and standard deviations and inferential statistics through one-way repeated-measures analysis of variances (RM ANOVA), along with some statistical tests and Stepwise regression. The data from the observed lessons were subjected to scrupulous and meticulous analysis, and the data from the interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and categorized. The findings culled from the survey, lesson observations, and interviews all revealed that Saudi EFL teachers have low self-efficacy in terms of language-learning technological knowledge, language-learning pedagogical technology skills, and ability to effectively integrate technology into EFL instruction. The implications emerging from this study center on the need to develop EFL teachers’ self-efficacy with technology to ensure that language-related digital tools in EFL instruction are used in the most effective pedagogical manner and to their full potential.
