Työvihko

Työvihko is a Finnish term used for a workbook or work notebook. The word combines työtä meaning work and vihko meaning notebook. In Finland, työvihko is commonly used in education to accompany textbooks and provide students with guided practice, exercises, and space to record answers. It may include instructions, example problems, numbered tasks, and sections for teacher feedback or assessment.

In primary and secondary education, työvihko often covers subjects such as mathematics, language, science, or foreign languages. It is typically distributed by teachers and used during class or homework to reinforce learning. The design is usually aligned with the syllabus and may include clear instructions, sample solutions, and self-check sections or rubrics.

In vocational or workplace contexts, a työvihko can function as a work log or activity notebook, used to document tasks, observations, measurements, or safety checks. Such uses may require dated entries, signatures, and keeping records as part of compliance, training, or project management.

Formats range from traditional paper-based notebooks to digital documents. Paper työvihko often feature structured sections, while digital versions allow templates, progress tracking, and easy submission for feedback. Across both domains, työvihko serves to structure practice, record outcomes, and support learning or professional accountability. See also oppikirja, työkirja, and työpäiväkirja.
