munkanapló

Munkanapló, literally meaning "work diary," is a logbook used in Hungary to record daily school activities, assignments, and learning progress. In the educational context it functions as a personal tool for students and as a channel of communication among students, teachers, and parents.

Typical content includes the date, subjects studied, topics covered, assigned homework, due dates, and the status of completion. Many entries also provide brief reflections, study goals, and notes from teachers. In many schools a weekly or periodic sign-off by a parent or guardian is required, and teachers may add comments on a student’s progress.

Formats vary: some schools issue a physical notebook kept in the student’s binder; others use digital diaries or school portals. The munkanapló is intended to help students organize their tasks, monitor progress, and develop responsibility and time management. It can also function as a tool for home-school communication and for teachers to track attendance and engagement.

In addition to the school sense, the term can refer to a professional “work diary” used in workplaces to document hours, tasks, and outcomes for accountability and project tracking. Overall, the munkanapló is not a universally standardized document; its use and emphasis depend on local school policies and educational level.
