Role of participant In the research process, participants are great contributors (Merriam, 2009). Participants aid by identifying issues during the research, as they express their opinion and perceptions in relation to the issue under consideration (Garaway, 2004)
In this approach the researcher analyzes the behavior of the participants while they participate in the intended activities and their response to the outside stimuli. (Gay, Mills, & Airasian, 2009) Case studies are bounded in an approach that connects time (existence) with a place (environment) (Stake, 2005)
The researcher in a qualitative case study takes on one of four primary positions: Complete participant Participant as observer Observer as participant Complete observer (Merriam, 2009). The role of participants is to provide substantial and orderly feedback regarding their individual thoughts and preferences on issues pertaining to the focus of the study (Krueger & Casey, 2009)
Respondents in a focus group provide innovative ideas, on the basis of their experience, through which the organizations can further enhance their strengths and improve their weaknesses. (Lee & Lee, 2009) According to Brock (2009), behavior control was described as the readiness of a child to consent to the limitations and rules enforced by schools or an after-school program
This data is collected through a number of primary research tools, such as questionnaires, surveys, observations, interviews, both face-to-face and telephonic interviews, and focus groups. (Mcisaac & Goeree et al

The basic purpose that underlie the deployment of the criterion sampling is the identification of the major system flaws that need improvement. (Miskowicz, 2007) Since familiarity is an essential part for the operation of the program, the program director will act as a helpful aid for selecting the partakers for the case studies
The sources that did not fulfill the above mentioned criteria were not included in the research. (Murthy & Bhojanna, 2008) 3
The early phase of analysis will begin with the memoing process. (Rasli, 2006) 4
Offering significance to data without misapprehensions allows the researcher to draw systematically from those similar themes. (Runeson & Host et al
Examples of factors that may obscure findings are: The discontinuation of a subject participating in the activities of the after-school program Obstacles due to program design, introduction of new staff members, and a change in the delivery of curriculum. (Salkind, 2010) Shenton (2004) acknowledged four prominent ways to increase the issue of credibility throughout the research study
(Colorado State University, 2012) As stated by Shenton (2004), rich descriptions afford the researcher the opportunity to compare the work of previous research with the emerging themes of their own. (Shenton, 2004) 3
In this approach the researcher analyzes the behavior of the participants while they participate in the intended activities and their response to the outside stimuli. (Gay, Mills, & Airasian, 2009) Case studies are bounded in an approach that connects time (existence) with a place (environment) (Stake, 2005)
The researcher should revert back to the findings by using connections and themes from the work of their study. However, the interpreting stage should reflect more than details of the rich descriptions found in the data (Taylor-Powell & Renner, 2009)

These acts could obstruct the participants' willingness or capability to present their personal story. The researcher will employ the cultural sensitive approach to assist participants in erecting their realities and aiding the researcher in summarizing the triumphs and struggles of the African-American male and their experiences in a community-based after-school program (Tillman, 2006)

Dependability gives details of changes in an environment and its influence on the method or style taken to perform the research. (Trochim, 2006) For this study, the issue of dependability could arise when there are dissimilarities between the regular school setting and situations involving the after-school program
, (2009) stated that the primary focus of interpreting data should center on four questions: What are essential parts of the data? What makes the data important? What new things were revealed through the data? What application does the data have in relation to future studies, settings, or programs? Answering these questions, affords the researcher the opportunity to assign meaning to the details and give sense to the data analysis. (Welman & Kruger, 2001) During the study of African-American males and the experience of an after-school program, the researcher will interpret the data and provide meaning for the study
