| Total N = 49 | GES |
MES |
Between groups significance | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre (Mean ± SD) | Post (Mean ± SD) | Change (%) | Pre (Mean ± SD) | Post (Mean ± SD) | Change (%) | ||
| Spatial memory | 6.29 ± 1.04 | 8.24 ± 0.63* | 31.002 | 5.96 ± 1.0 | 7.16 ± 0.92* | 20.134 | 0.001** |
| Verbal memory | 4.63 ± 0.83 | 7.27 ± 0.73* | 57.019 | 4.67 ± 0.90 | 6.02 ± 0.95* | 28.907 | 0.001** |
*
P < 0.05, Wilcoxon signed ranks test, comparing pre and post values within groups
**
P < 0.001, Mann Whitney U test, comparing between groups; GES=Gurukula system of education, MES= Modern education system, GES group was significantly better than that of the MES group
