African-American students' perceptions of school success. (The scholarship of teaching and learning).
Abstract
Six African-American high school seniors were interviewed regarding their perceptions of factors that impact their school success. A qualitative analysis revealed that students perceived that six major factors influence success for African-American students. Based on frequencies of the categories mentioned, the issues were ranked in order of importance. The following issues were uncovered through the analysis of the students' responses and are listed in order of importance: 1) initiative; 2) self-image; 3) family; 4) teachers; 5) labeling/racism; and 6) participation in school programs. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
