A significant difference was found between pre and post-test(7.03±2.44 & 14.48±2.45) of both traditional (lecture) and jigsaw groups with substantial (0.00) p-value. Gender knowledge found dissimilarity that females of study slightly remained at higher side than men in pre-test and post-test of knowledge and both conditions p-value was insignificant.
