Summary:	School administrators are often under pressure to improve test scores and school accountability ratings. The school leaders are in need of data to assist them with decision-making. The purpose of this study was to discover whether students who are taught the same content using diverse methods have similar outcomes in learning, test scores, and attitudes. Two fourth grade classrooms were chosen to participate based on the methods the teachers used throughout the school year. This study was designed to determine whether using the inquiry approach, an approach most commonly found in use with young children, would be as effective as the deductive method with intermediate level students. Results indicate that the teachers’ chosen methods did not result in significantly different student state-mandated assessment scores.
