Which of the following are the prominent features of Self-directed learning?

Extension of learning (2) is a feature of self-directed learning, as the learner keeps going beyond set tasks.

Taking ownership of learning (3) is central, with the learner responsible for goals and effort.

Self-monitoring (5) is a feature, since the learner tracks and evaluates his own progress.

Passive learning (1) is not a feature, because self-directed learning is active by nature.

Teacher-centred learning (4) is not a feature, since control rests with the learner rather than the teacher.

The concept of self-directed learning was developed in adult education by Malcolm Knowles under andragogy.
