With the rapid development of digital technology platforms, including the metaverse and virtual reality (VR), interdisciplinary competence has become an important educational goal in higher education. However, classroom-based observations indicate that students in the humanities and social sciences often face technical barriers and digital anxiety when engaging in digital technology-oriented courses, which may restrict their learning engagement and practical performance. To address this issue, this study was situated in a Foreign Language Teaching Methods and Materials course and implemented a three-stage instructional model consisting of knowledge construction, design thinking, and connection and application. Drawing on the social interaction scaffolding mechanisms of cooperative learning, the course integrated industry expert support and hands-on digital platform practices to guide students toward the intended learning outcomes. This study adopted a mixed-methods research design. The participants were 54 humanities and social sciences students from a university of science and technology. Data were collected through quantitative questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and student learning products to enable triangulation. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to examine the influence paths among the variables. The results showed that communication and coordination competence had a significant positive effect on teamwork competence, which further contributed to students’overall learning outcomes. In addition, social expressiveness and supportive communication were identified as important influencing factors within communication and coordination competence. The qualitative findings further explained how cooperative learning scaffolds supported students’participation, collaboration, and application of digital tools throughout the learning process. These findings indicate that the proposed teaching practice model effectively enhanced humanities and social sciences students’performance in hands-on digital platform practices within the technological and vocational education context. The study provides empirically grounded implications for the design and transformation of interdisciplinary curricula that integrate language education, cooperative learning, and emerging digital technologies. |
