This study used the approach of critical ethnography to make a credible, critical inquiry into social, academic and educational phenomena which affect the psychological development, learning styles, motivation and academic achievement of African American students in general and specifically African American, adolescent males. Through their own voices, this group of adolescent, African American males told what the meaning of schooling was for them and how they interpreted everyday experiences related to schooling. More importantly, how they defined success and achievement in terms of schooling as it relates to life in general.

520 $a This study used the approach of critical ethnography to make a credible, critical inquiry into social, academic and educational phenomena which affect the psychological development, learning styles, motivation and academic achievement of African American students in general and specifically African American, adolescent males. Through their own voices, this group of adolescent, African American males told what the meaning of schooling was for them and how they interpreted everyday experiences related to schooling. More importantly, how they defined success and achievement in terms of schooling as it relates to life in general.
520 $a Five adolescent, African American males were selected through purposeful sampling to participate in the study. Data were analyzed in an interactive model through the theoretical framework of the human ecological development, against the research questions and goals of the study. Multiple data sources were used as well as constant comparative analysis to address threats against internal and external validity and reliability. The study made meaning of the two themes which emerged: those themes were in-school factors and self. The construct of self included four categories which were race, motivation, adolescent egocentrism and emotions. Constant comparative analysis was used to qualify the major themes, categories and subcategories. Major findings which emerged from the study included that the adolescents were disengaged from their schooling process and that in-school factors greatly impacted this disengagement. Also important was how early the sorting process for African American males begins and that this sorting generally results in resistance which fuels a cycle of negative interactions between the young males and the authoritarian power structure. Proscriptive rather than prescriptive messages relative to the condition of African American, adolescent males emerged from this study.
