Ideas on how kids learn

When I think if how I learn it's usually to do don't king or for pure enjoyment. However when for enjoyment often times no accountability means no real progress. When I do a project around the house I search and collect ideas and how to on the net predominately blogs and YouTube. Then I also ask advice of those whom know more the me. I often like to have an accomplice to help here and there but not necessarily a partner.   Learning should often be the same afterwards I like to show my labors and rejoice in my project. A reason to learn then self directed could be very beneficial to students. But even with math I think videos are often better because I can rewind a video over and over and not feel dumb where i am afraid to ask the teacher because I a don't want to look dumb. B don't want to annoy and c don't get the chance.
