They were divided randomly into two groups, control (nursing process, n=25) and experimental group (concept mapping, n=28). Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used to assess self-regulated learning, self-efficacy and cognitive strategies. Data were analyzed by SPSS-16 software using independent t test.   Result : There were not statistical differences of pretest scores and demographic characteristics between two groups.
