Traditional range and wildlife extension programs offered to landowners and land managers provide information, knowledge, and tools for land stewardship. However, effectively educating today's landowners may require new methods. We investigated the effectiveness of the Peers and Pros 360° teaching method, which is a mediated peer-to-peer learning approach. The objective of this teaching method is to create an interactive learning exercise that builds from the group's base level of knowledge. We designed, conducted, and evaluated three workshops for landowners in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion of Texas about prescribed fire to investigate the effectiveness of the Peers and Pros 360° method. In each workshop, participants exchanged ideas within a framework (topic, themes, and statements) prepared by professionals. Our program consisted of one topic with eight themes, each with three associated statements. During the program, participants read and responded out loud to these statements. Landowners with more prescribed fire experience often led the discussions, while those who were not as familiar with the topic asked questions and learned from their peers. Following the discussion, experts contributed additional information based on a list of predetermined talking points. The workshop was favored by participants, with 93% of participants preferring the Peers and Pros 360° method over traditional teaching methods. The workshop was also effective; participants at all three workshops experienced an increase in knowledge and indicated high intent to adopt practices (mean of five practices intended to adopt). The Peers and Pros 360° teaching method can help outreach and extension professionals design and conduct relevant, engaging programs and can be modified and used for a variety of educational topics and groups.

向土地所有者和土地管理者提供的传统活动范围和野生动物推广计划为土地管理提供信息、知识和工具。然而，有效地教育当今的土地所有者可能需要新的方法。我们调查了 Peers and Pros 360° 教学方法的有效性，这是一种中介式的点对点学习方法。这种教学方法的目标是创建一个以小组基础知识水平为基础的互动学习练习。我们为德克萨斯州爱德华兹高原生态区的土地所有者设计、举办和评估了三个关于规定火灾的研讨会，以调查同行和专业 360° 方法的有效性。在每次研讨会上，参与者在专业人士准备的框架（主题、主题和陈述）内交换想法。我们的节目由一个主题和八个主题组成，每个主题都有三个相关的陈述。在节目中，参与者大声朗读并回应这些陈述。具有更多消防经验的土地所有者经常主导讨论，而那些不太熟悉该主题的土地所有者则提出问题并向同行学习。讨论结束后，专家们根据预定的谈话要点列表提供了更多信息。该工作坊受到参与者的青睐，93%的参与者更喜欢Peers and Pros 360°方法而不是传统的教学方法。研讨会也很有效；所有三个讲习班的参与者都获得了知识的增长，并表现出了采用做法的高度意愿（打算采用的五种做法的平均值）。
