Since Kai has selected the participants, the next step in the study would be to collect data from them. This would involve conducting interviews, observations, and possibly surveys to gather information about the homework strategies these children are using in the after-school program. Once data has been collected, Kai may then move on to analyzing and reporting his findings. However, data collection comes first. Random assignment and statistical analyses may not be necessary for this particular study.
