Cover Story: During the COVID‐19 pandemic, many learners were struggling with the self‐regulated learning activities required for continuous learning progress. Our study focused on the learning strategy of concept mapping (CM), which has been (1) directly related to positive effects on learning and retention performance and (2) reported to have constructive side effects regarding metacognitive skills and, thus, self-regulated learning. To grasp CM’s full potential, however, appropriate training of the strategy seems to be required. Our results show that high-intensity CM training is associated with considerable improvement of learners’ metacognitive judgments of learning (JOLs). Since the ability to give reliable JOLs is closely related to successful self‐regulated learning, such CM training could efficiently address learners’ difficulties. View this paper
