Through an interdisciplinary collaboration between a program that has achieved extensive validation of a theory of student learning and a program that has gained wide recognition for using Internet technology as a real-time resource in science classrooms. The triarchic theory of human intelligence will provide a systematic methodology for the study of student learning achievement levels of roughly 1600 middle school and high school students as they pursue lessons in the context of four different instructional conditions. The four conditions are: (1) traditional teaching using paper-and-pencil; (2) traditional teaching with (non-Internet ) computer use; (3) triarchically enhanced teaching using archived data but no computers; (4) triarchically enhanced teaching using real-time data via Internet. Each of the four conditions will be implemented in three different classroom settings: (1) the study of earthquakes and seismic phenomena by 7th and 8th grade students; (2) the study of air quality and pollution by 11th and 12th grade students; and (3) the study of velocity vectors used in navigation by 11th and 12th grade students. Strong emphasis will be placed upon recruiting teachers from urban schools, suburban and rural schools. Instructional conditions will be assigned randomly by school. Since Stevens Institute of Technology is pursuing teacher professional development programs involving more than 15,000 teachers in the states of Arizona, Florida, New Jersey and Ohio, recruiting schools in these four states will ensure diversity. The research will be conducted over a five-year period. Prior to Year 5, all teachers will be informed about interim research results concerning the efficacy of the triarchic approach, the use of real time Internet resources in instruction and the synergies between these two efforts to enhance learning.

通过对学生学习理论进行广泛验证的项目和因使用互联网技术作为科学课堂实时资源而获得广泛认可的项目之间的跨学科合作。人类智力三元理论将为研究大约 1600 名中学生和高中生在四种不同教学条件下的学习成绩水平提供系统的方法。这四种情况是：（1）传统的纸笔教学； (2) 使用（非互联网）计算机的传统教学； (3) 使用存档数据但不使用计算机的三元强化教学； (4)利用互联网实时数据进行三方强化教学。这四个条件中的每一个都将在三种不同的课堂环境中实施：（1）七年级和八年级学生对地震和地震现象的研究； （2）十一、十二年级学生对空气质量和污染的研究； (3) 十一年级和十二年级学生在导航中使用的速度矢量的研究。重点招聘城市学校、郊区学校和农村学校教师。教学条件由学校随机分配。由于史蒂文斯理工学院正在亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、新泽西州和俄亥俄州推行涉及 15,000 多名教师的教师专业发展项目，因此在这四个州招聘学校将确保多样性。该研究将在五年内进行。在五年级之前，所有教师都将获悉有关三元方法的有效性、教学中实时互联网资源的使用以及这两项努力之间的协同作用以增强学习的中期研究结果。
