2019 – present Associate Professor (Teaching & Research), Department of Education Information Technology, East China Normal University 2021 – 2022 Visiting Professor, School of Education, Shanghai International Studies University 2017 – 2019 Postdoctoral Researcher, Faculty of Education, East China Normal University ResumeDr. 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. Dr. Islam has had almost 20 years of experience in academia, industry and business. With regard to leadership, he has proven his abilities as a chief executive in several business and social organizations from 2002 to 2007. Leading from the front, he has been conducting workshops on the application of Structural Equation Modeling and the Rasch Measurement Model since 2010. Furthermore, Dr. Islam has presented many papers at international conferences (Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, China and Malaysia) and published journal articles, books and chapters. He has also delivered keynote addresses, speeches, and guest lectures many times in the past five years. Dr. Islam has published in the British Journal of Educational Technology, Instructional Science, Journal of Information Science, Educational Psychology, Interactive Learning Environments, Online Information Review, and International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction. He serves as the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator of local and international research grants totaling over half a million yuan. He has published nearly 90 papers in first-class international journals and conferences. One of his articles was listed as a “Highly Cited Paper” in Essential Science Indicators (ESI) in 2022 and 2023. Dr. Islam has international collaboration with the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Italy, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh and Nigeria. Dr. Islam is an Executive Editor of the International Journal of Smart Technology and Learning, Editor of Cogent Education (ESCI & Scopus), and Article Editor of SAGE Open (Q2, SSCI, 2021 IF=2.032). He is also a reviewer and technical committee member of many international conferences and journals. He is (2020-2024) the member of the Psychometric Society and British Educational Research Association (BERA 2021). His research interests are in the arena of Assessment of Educational Technology, Quantitative Modeling, Artificial Intelligence, ICT in Higher Education, Technology, People & Society, Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Human Computer Interaction, New Social Media Analysis and Virtual Reality.
