This investigation adopted a Qualitative Case Study Design to gain an in-depth understanding of the developmental mechanism by which the Socio-Scientific Inquiry-Based Learning (SSIBL) model enhances students' problem-solving proficiency. The study utilized a purposive sample of 35 second-grade preparatory students from an Egyptian institute operating under the dual-curriculum mandate (Al-Azhar). Data were collected via validated Performance Rubrics administered through three repeated measures.It was tracked how students transitioned among four proficiency levels within six core skills. The results demonstrated a clear and consistent improvement: the 'Beginning' level disappeared entirely by the final measure, with a significant number of students moving successfully into the 'Proficient' and 'Advanced' categories.This profound cognitive shift suggests the SSIBL model effectively resolves the "pedagogical paradox" of integrating scientific rigor with ethical considerations in this specific educational context. We conclude that SSIBL substantially enhances students’ complex reasoning.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Развитие компетентности в решении проблем является центральной целью современного естественно-научного образования, однако традиционные методы часто не могут устранить разрыв между теорией и практикой, особенно в рамках египетских образовательных систем, характеризующихся двойной учебной программой. В данном исследовании использовался дизайн качественного тематического исследования с целью получения углубленного понимания механизма развития, посредством которого модель социально-научного обучения на основе исследовательской деятельности (SSIBL) повышает компетентность учащихся в решении проблем. В исследовании была использована целенаправленная выборка из 35 учащихся второго подготовительного класса египетского института (Аль-Азхар), работающего в условиях двойного учебного плана. Сбор данных осуществлялся с помощью валидированных оценочных рубрик, примененных в рамках трех повторных измерений. Отслеживалось то, как учащиеся переходили между четырьмя уровнями владения в рамках шести ключевых навыков.Результаты продемонстрировали очевидное и устойчивое улучшение: уровень «начинающий» полностью исчез к моменту финального измерения, при этом значительное число учащихся успешно перешло в категории «умелый» и «продвинутый». Этот глубокий когнитивный сдвиг предполагает, что модель SSIBL эффективно разрешает «педагогический парадокс» интеграции научной строгости с этическими соображениями в данном конкретном образовательном контексте. Мы заключаем, что SSIBL существенно повышает уровень сложного мышления учащихся.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>socio-scientific inquiry-based learning</kwd><kwd>problem-solving skills</kwd><kwd>qualitative case study</kwd><kwd>dual-curriculum</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>социально-научное обучение на основе исследовательской деятельности</kwd><kwd>навыки решения проблем</kwd><kwd>качественное тематическое исследование</kwd><kwd>двойная учебная программа</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Levinson R.
