LEVERAGING A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
In recent testimony before a subcommittee of the House Education and Labor Committee, public
policy advocates called for establishing a public-private partnership to encourage private sector
investment in student !nancial aid. "e following proposal for a college scholarship sponsorship tax
credit is a practical and easily implementable method of accomplishing this goal.

fellowships awarded each year. "is will make college more aordable for more students, at minimal
cost to the federal government.
Under current law, individuals and businesses may take a charitable deduction for contributions to
tax exempt charitable organizations. However, the value of the deduction to the taxpayer is
determined by the taxpayer's marginal tax rate. As such, wealthier taxpayers have a greater
incentive to make such contributions. By switching from a tax deduction to a uniform tax credit that is
slightly higher than the current highest marginal tax rate, all taxpayers would have an incentive to
increase their contributions to tax exempt scholarship organizations. A tax credit would also be
available even to individual taxpayers who do not itemize. "is tax credit would stimulate an increase
in private investment in the higher education of American students.
"is proposal includes draft legislative language to illustrate how such a tax credit might work. "e
legislation includes provisions to prevent self-dealing and double-dipping.
"e bill would bene!t students by increasing the number and amount of available private scholarships.
Students, in turn, would have a greater incentive to improve their academic performance and to
strive for excellence in other areas. "e bill would also help students meet !nancial need that is unmet
by existing student aid programs.
"e bill bene!ts taxpayers by reducing the cost of donating funds to a tax exempt scholarship
organization. Many would use the savings to increase the size of their donations. Some would
increase their contributions even further.
We conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the construct validity of selfassessments of knowledge in education and workplace training. Selfassessment’s strongest correlations were with motivation and satisfaction, two
affective evaluation outcomes. The relationship between self-assessment and
cognitive learning was moderate. Even under conditions that optimized the
self-assessment–cognitive learning relationship (e.g., when learners practiced
self-assessing and received feedback on their self-assessments), the
relationship was still weaker than the self-assessment–motivation relationship.
We also examined how researchers interpreted self-assessed knowledge,
and discovered that nearly a third of evaluation studies interpreted selfassessed knowledge data as evidence of cognitive learning. Based on these
findings, we offer recommendations for evaluation
practice that involve a more limited role for self-assessment.
TABLE 1
Meta-Analytic Correlations With Self-Assessments of Knowledge
The relationship between self- assessments of knowledge and cog- nitive
learning will be stronger in courses where learners make multi- ple selfassessments and receive feedback on their self-assessment accuracy.
Focus of Self-Assessment
Asking learners to make absolute assessments of their knowledge levels is
conceptually distinct from asking learners to rate their knowledge gain. An
absolute assessment requires a judgment against an external standard,
whereas asking learners about changes in their levels of knowl- edge
requires self-referential judgments. It is possible for learners to be
knowledgeable about a domain at the beginning of a course. We also
examined the degree of similarity between measures of self-assessment
and cognitive learning.
from the course, and know the same amount when the course ends. These
learners would have high levels of absolute knowledge and low levels of
knowledge gain. Absolute self-assessments of knowledge are better
matched with cognitive learning and should have stronger correlations with
cognitive learning than self-assessments of knowledge gain.
We reviewed the literature to examine how self- assessments of knowledge
are interpreted. The re- sults suggest 32% of studies interpreted selfassessments of knowledge as an indicator of learning (see Table 3). For
example, Alavi (1994) used a self-assessment instrument to measure MBA
students’ learning in management informa- tion systems.
