Abstract
In this chapter we document and advocate for the use of cogenerative dialogues as both a methodology and method to be employed for the purposes of improving teaching and learning in settings such as informal science institutions. We describe why such dialogues are useful tools, and why they are critical in revealing key ideas that are particular to informal science institutions.
