Covid-19 has spread widely throughout Indonesia and has affected all aspects of life, especially in education. These conditions require everyone involved in the realm of education to adapt and innovate so that learning can occur. In the learning process, educators and student's must-have books as a source of learning. E-books are very effective to use during the current pandemic because they can be accessed anytime and anywhere via students' cell phones or laptops. This study aims to determine the application of the e-book-assisted peer teaching method in improving students' understanding of sound wave physics learning concepts during the covid-19 period. This type of research is pre-experimental research by applying a qualitative approach. The research data was obtained from observations and tests with the research subjects is 33 students in class XI Science Program in Senior High School, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The results showed that students' understanding of concepts increased using the e-book-assisted peer teaching method during the covid-19 period. This can be seen in the students' post-test results, which reached an average of 57.57, much higher than the students' pre-test results which only reached an average of 28.78. Results showed that ebook-assisted peer teaching methods in physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic could improve students' understanding of concepts. © 2024 Author(s).
