It is the old adage of "Start where your students are at".

An understanding of emotions, reacting appropriately to them, and the part they play in discussion can help the learner to greater discovery as they search. Something vital in the arena I teach in (healthcare), where the human factor and relationships are of primary importance in all we do. Emotional Intelligence on the part of the facilitator.

I like Matt's "another person" but might add "another person with a bit more experience (Vygosky, scaffolding, proximal zone of development etc.).
