Explanation
★All three statements describe andragogy correctly, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn, and it is built around the self-directed learner.
★Its process is cooperative and two-way, because the adult brings experience and shares responsibility for learning rather than only receiving it.
★Its motivation is intrinsic, resting on self-esteem, self-confidence, curiosity and the wish for a better quality of life.
★Because these inner drives power the adult learner, andragogy is rightly called a motivational approach.
★As none of the three statements is false, the complete set is the correct choice.
