This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoreticalpedagogical foundations, methodological mechanisms, and the role of collaborative learning technology in modern education. L.S. Vygotsky's social-constructivist theory, D. Johnson and R. Johnson's model of positive interdependence, and computersupported collaborative learning (CSCL) approaches are scientifically substantiated. The article examines the principles, methodological models (Jigsaw, STAD, group projects), assessment mechanisms, and practical application of collaborative learning in higher education, specifically in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes.
Additionally, the advantages, challenges, and effective implementation strategies of this technology are analyzed.
