Assoc. Prof. A.Y.M. Atiquil IslamEast China Normal University, China Brief Introduction: Dr. A.Y.M. Atiquil Islam is an Associate Professor at the Department of Education Information Technology of the East China Normal University. He is also a Guest Professor at the School of Teacher Education of Jiangsu University. He obtained a multidimensional PhD degree by combining two faculties, namely, Education and Computer Science & Information Technology at the Institute of Graduate Studies, University of Malaya. Throughout his academic life, various scholarships he has been awarded certainly have been the most significant instigators of his achievements. He received the Graduation on Time (GOT 2015) Award from the University of Malaya and honorarium for finishing his PhD in less than three years. To integrate innovative ideas logically, Dr. Islam has proposed two types of approaches: the theoretical approach and the methodological approach. The theoretical approach is to develop the theory or model where the research ideas will be logically integrated within a framework. The methodological approach is to validate the theory or model to confirm whether the ideas have been appropriately and logically incorporated within a structure which can provide expected outcomes. Applying theoretical and methodological approaches, in his field of specialization, he developed and validated three models, namely, the Technology Adoption and Gratification (TAG) Model, the Technology Satisfaction Model (TSM) and the Online Database Adoption and Satisfaction (ODAS) Model. These models have been frequently applied by researchers to conduct their studies around the world. His high-quality publications are a witness to these models’ ability to solve the theoretical and practical problems of multiple disciplines. |  |
