In conclusion, the review reviews the AVID research paper on how to improve high school students' understanding of mathematics. First, the criticism shows that AVID structured the document based on adult learning principles. In this regard, AVID treats high school students as adults; therefore, their way of understanding coincides with that of the elderly. There are five theories that describe effective processes to ensure that adults learn effectively and efficiently. The conference paper meets the description of three adult learning theories, but fails to meet the standards outlined by the other two. However, the concepts presented in the paper can help high school students not only in learning and understanding mathematics, but also in preparing them for college education. The latter constitutes one of the main objectives of AVID. Furthermore, the AVID document can help high school teachers design a useful learning program in mathematics. Thus, the document achieves its goals of preparing students for college education. The conference paper introduces mathematics as an important subject applicable in society. Traces the history of mathematics in higher education. Furthermore, it highlights important aspects of the subject and describes different ways of approaching mathematical problems through reading and teaching. Furthermore, the document is set in an adult learning context. Although AVID achieves the required standards in presenting an adult education conference paper, it fails to consider the fact that it is intended for young adults (adolescents) (Kaye & Johnson, 2002). As a result, most students may find the document a little difficult to understand. Therefore, students can re...... middle of paper ...... techniques. Accordingly, he presents a critique of the AVID mathematical conference paper based on the principles of andragogy.Works CitedAVID. (n.d.).
