Explanation
The prominent features of self-directed learning are self-monitoring, taking ownership of learning and extension of learning.
Self-monitoring means the learner tracks and regulates their own progress.
Taking ownership means the learner accepts responsibility for setting goals and managing study.
Extension of learning means the learner carries inquiry beyond what is prescribed.
Remedial teaching is teacher-led correction of deficiencies, not a self-directed feature.
Being teacher-oriented contradicts self-direction, in which the learner leads; Knowles linked such autonomy to andragogy.
