A vast existing literature in educational research has been explored on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) with the focus on addressing self-efficacy, self-regulation and social interactions in learning. This theory is used as a framework to predict behaviours and interventions. However, researchers have managed to comprehend and adopt the theory comprehensively with regards to all the factors involved specifically in the domain of pedagogical potentials in education and metaphysics. Thus, this paper has two-fold purposes. Firstly, this paper seeks to revisit the SCT from Islamic perspectives. Secondly, it attempts to propose a new pedagogical framework adapted from both theories for enhancing classroom teaching and learning. For this, the theoretical approach of Abdullah Nashih Ulwan has been compared and contrasted with an analytical approach by framing the references of the theory and the domain in education and well-being. Based on the analytic summary, this research has adopted comparative holistic visual representation by analyzing the SCT and Islamic perspectives. In consequence, a proposed learning model is given for a comprehensive view from both perspectives. The findings will advocate teachers and researchers when dealing with holistic human behaviour and personality development.

The concept of Augmented Reality (AR) technology has paved a new innovation in modern teaching methods as a creative tool for blended learning. Although there has been a robust literatures on augmented reality, educators and other stakeholders are unaware of the AR benefits even reluctant to take up concrete steps towards integrating AR into teaching and learning settings. This attitude requires more efforts by researchers to shed light on the affordances and capabilities of AR in educating the new generation students in today's schools. Therefore, this paper attempts to highlight the pedagogical potentials of AR technology in conjunction with Gagné ISD Model (1998). Thus, the guidelines of instructional practices and the quality of student learning are revisited. This paper will contribute to the theoretical aspect of integrating AR in teaching and learning effectively and efficiently. Further, a proposed model for teachers to employ various pedagogical strategies while using the instructional model of Gagné's Nine Events in AR-supported learning process will be presented. The present paper will adopt the analytical approach based on meta analysis by reviewing journal articles on using AR in education from a variety of sources such as Web of Science, ESCI indexes, and SCI-EXPANDED. For this review, a number of 28 articles, conducted between 2013 and 2018, on the use of AR in educational context were examined and reviewed.
